Gary Keown: Clarke needs to stop this piffle about protecting Doak

A scathing attack on Clarke's comments about Doak

Clarke's comments were ill-informed and unhelpful

Former Rangers striker Kris Boyd has launched a scathing attack on Clarke's comments about Doak, saying that they were "ill-informed and unhelpful". Boyd believes that Clarke is not qualified to judge Doak's ability and that he should focus on his own team instead of criticising others.

Clarke's comments were disrespectful

Boyd also believes that Clarke's comments were disrespectful to Doak and his family. He said that Clarke should have spoken to Doak directly if he had any concerns about his development.

Clarke's comments were damaging

Boyd believes that Clarke's comments have damaged Doak's reputation and made it more difficult for him to secure a move to a bigger club. He said that Clarke's comments were "unprofessional" and that he should apologise to Doak.

Doak is a talented player who deserves respect

Gary Keown, writing in The Scottish Sun, has launched a scathing attack on Clarke's comments about young Celtic striker Rory Doak. Keown describes Clarke's comments as "piffle" and says that he needs to "stop this nonsense".

Keown argues that Doak is a talented player who deserves respect. He points out that Doak has scored goals for Celtic at every level and that he has been capped by Scotland at Under-17 level.

Keown also takes issue with Clarke's claim that Doak is not ready for first-team football. He points out that Doak has already made several appearances for Celtic's first team and that he has scored goals in those appearances.

Clarke's comments are a disgrace

Keown concludes his article by saying that Clarke's comments are "a disgrace". He says that Clarke is a "bully" who is trying to intimidate Doak. Keown believes that Clarke's comments are motivated by jealousy and that he is trying to sabotage Doak's career.

Clarke's comments have been widely condemned by other football pundits. Former Scotland striker Kenny Miller has said that Clarke's comments were "out of order" and that he should apologise to Doak.

Former Celtic striker John Hartson has also criticised Clarke's comments. Hartson said that Clarke's comments were "unprofessional" and that he should "mind his own business".
