Where is Giggsy anyway?
The apparent absence of Ryan Giggs from the Manchester United sidelines this evening was always bound to create speculation, and the reports linking him with the Celtic manager’s position appear to be suitably bonkers.

Lots of rumours that Ryan Giggs isn't on the #MUFC bench tonight because he's about to be announced as Celtic manager. Interesting.

… but Twitter knew better, with users basically rolling about the place laughing at the thought of the United legend bailing on Old Trafford and effectively banishing himself to the SPL.
Ryan Giggs to Celtic. Hmmmmm

Twitter is a crazy place sometimes. Ryan Giggs going to Celtic because some mad troll who has tweeted 41 times says so

This Ryan Giggs to Celtic rumour was started by a parody account on Twitter. Anyway, we've enough midfielders on our books right now.

Some even had alternative theories for Giggs’ absence…

The mystery was finally solved when the club came out and revealed Giggs simply missed the game with an illness.
