Paul Merson, a former Aberdeen midfielder, and Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier are among a number of celebrities to have endorsed Supreme CBD, a company founded by former Olympic boxer Anthony Fowler. The Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) reprimanded Le Tissier and former Celtic striker John Hartson last month for recommending that CBD gummies could'could prevent, treat, or cure human disease' on social media.

That was back in the day, but now it is. I was over in Jersey over the weekend with Joe Ledley and Jackie McNamara at a fantastic Tommy Burns dinner and dance evening with about 200 Celtic fans.
