Paul Hartley: My regret over Walter Smith snub and why I chose Celtic over Gers | One-On-One

In the second part of a stunning interview, Paul Hartley gives Derek McGregor a blow-by-blow account of how he chose Celtic over Rangers in January 2007. He shares his abiding regret over snubbing Rangers' boss Walter Smith's attempts to talk him into joining the Gers instead that month - as the SunSport football editor, an old pal and neighbour, reveals the incredible role he played in all the drama. There's also chapter and verse from Hartley about his failed move to the Hoops two seasons earlier - and an insight into how characters such as Tommy Burns, Artur Boruc, Thomas Gravesen and Gordon Strachan helped the Hoops to title and Euro glory. There's plenty of other brilliant stories, including a dinner date with a difference with former Hearts owner Vladimir Romanov - and what he told James McFadden that fateful night in Paris. It's a cracking listen for any Scottish football fan - and don't miss Part Three next week! https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/   / scottishsunsport   https://x.com/scotsunsport #oneonone #football #scotland #exclusive #paulhartley #celticfc #heartsfc Contents of video: - 00:00 - Vladimir Romanov 03:52 - The Riccarton 3 06:26 - Champions League preparations 08:52 - The move that didn't happen 11:58 - Choosing Celtic over Rangers 16:28 - My regret over Walter snub 17:14 - Deadline day drama 20:45 - Life at Celtic 22:26 - Enemies become friends 23:17 - My football idols 24:57 - Incredible 2007/08 season 26:35 - Winning the title for Tommy Burns 30:11 - Old Firm friends & foe 31:40 - Celtic exit 33:25 - Moving to England 34:21 - Dream Dons debut 36:13 - Nine-goal agony vs Celtic 39:31 - Scotland memories END
