Ha, somehow I knew that would be the response.

So a senior player from Celtic attends an event, held to raise funds for the 32CSM, a group that has links to an outlawed paramilitary organisation.

GERRY COLLINS last night told Islam Feruz his foul-mouthed Twitter rant has desecrated the memory of Celtic legend Tommy Burns.

The Chelsea kid posted an expletive-laden comment on his account yesterday denying claims the Parkhead club had played a role in helping his family fight deportation from the UK six years ago.

But Collins, a close friend of Burns from childhood, claims Feruz should gets his facts straight and show more respect to the man who “fought tooth and nail” to keep his family here.

The intervention of then youth boss Burns was instrumental in stopping the family being sent back to war-torn Somalia.

But Feruz tweeted a furious rebuttal during an online blast when he gave his version of events.

He tweeted: CELTIC did f*** all with me staying in this country, get your f****** facts right and stop going with the story u read in the daily record!!”

The 16-year-old moved to Stamford Bridge in a cut-price compensation deal last summer and Collins insists the striker has disrespected the man to which the player owes everything.

He said: “It’s disgusting what the boy has said and shows a terrible lack of respect for everything Tommy did for him and his family. He hasn’t achieved anything yet in the game but I can tell him this, whatever he does go on to achieve in football will be down to Tommy Burns and he should be eternally grateful.

“I remember Tommy telling me he had discovered a gem but the Feruz family were facing deportation to a war zone and the issue became something Tommy fought tooth and nail to prevent.

“Football was a secondary issue, it was an act of humanity and compassion from Tommy, which was typical of the man.”

Feruz, who was raised in Castlemilk, Glasgow, made history as the first asylum-seeker to earn an international call-up under FIFA’s new eligibility rules when he represented Scotland’s Under-17 side two years ago.

And only this week Scots Under-21 boss Billy Stark named the striker in his squad for next week’s friendly against Italy, which will make him the youngest player to pull on the Dark Blue jersey at that level if he takes to the field.

But Collins believes the talented youngster should remember that international recognition comes a distant second to how you represent yourself as a person.

He said: “It’s hard to put into context the lack of gratitude this kid shows with these comments, it’s very sad.

“If Celtic did nothing for him then I would ask what moving him and his family from Castlemilk into a luxury flat in Charing Cross was?”

Feruz also posted a remark about his lack of progress during his spell at Parkhead and gloated over his role in helping Chelsea to the English FA Youth Cup Final.

He tweeted: “Heres a fact for you tweeps ... 6-7 yrs at celtic n never reached a cup final, one year at chelsea ... What happens??”
