Martin Compston triggered by Rangers takeover as Celtic daft actor vows to ban American father in law from his house

Martin Compston insists he’s not worried about Rangers’ impeding takeover, but has warned that he’ll have to ban his father-in-law from the house if it goes through.  As first revealed by Record Sport, 49ers Enterprises – the investment arm of NFL powerhouse the San Francisco 49ers – and Andrew Cavenagh are closing in on a deal to take control of the Ibrox club, which is expected to be completed in the coming weeks. Celtic-daft actor Compston is now based in Las vegas with his American wife and fellow actor Tianna Chanel Flynn. However, his dad’s love of the San Francisco 49ers means he might not be allowed around the Compston home if their link with Light Blues club becomes official. “Ach I’m on the other side of the city, let them deal with that,” he told talkSport. “My father-in-law is a 49ers fan so I’ve told him if that goes through, he’s banned from the hoose!” As for his beloved Hoops, Compston has been delighted with what he’s seen from them this season, especially in Europe. And he reckons it’s a sign of progress that he was left with a feeling of what might have been after last month’s narrow Champions League defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich.

 

“It’s been great, it really has,” he said. “The Bayern game, how good it’s been is that you actually feel that it was a bit of a missed opportunity We came so close. “Even the Villa game, if we’d had a fully fit squad there, there might have been something in it for us. It’s about taking those next steps because we’ve dominant at home for so long. Where we should really be testing ourselves is in Europe. The Leipzig game was brilliant. People were saying we should have been beating Brugge at home; they’re a very good side. Munich away is the best I’ve seen us in a long, long time. It was more controlled than Atalanta away.  “When you saw the Dortmund performance, you thought ‘aw naw here we go again, getting spanked away in Europe seems to be what we do’ but we’ve been brilliant, we really have.

 

“The football we’re playing, if we keep a hold of the wee fella Maeda, he’s such an essential part of the way we play. His energy is unbelievable and he’s just a joy to watch. But it’s not just him. I think we’re playing great football under Brendan. fair play to him coming back up and winning everybody over. It wasn’t easy for him to do.”it’s a great time to be a Celtic fan. I was born in ’84 so grew up in the 90s and it was dark times for us. People always ask me if I get bored of winning – not at all. Long may it continue.”
