Mark Hateley and Jock Brown have been replaced by Ian Crocker on the Setanta network. Brown and Hateley were the source of some controversy on setanta and caused the Irish sports broadcasters to be bombarded with complaints over their "Biased" commentating. Celtic fans voted with their chequebooks and many refused to sign up with setanta until they were both removed. Setanta today have emailed everyone who protested and have told them that for the coming season Ian Crocker formerly of sky sports will be the new lead commentator for their network. Davie Provan seems favourite at the moment to be co-commentator but this has not yet been confirmed.
Ian Crocker seems to be a fairly popular choice but lets face it, anyone would be better than Brown and Hately. and even gems like this from Crocker are far better than anything that ever came from the mouths of brown and Hateley
