"In his chapter, Davie Provan says he was labelled as a "currant bun"- an obvious reference to "hun" - by some Celtic players but says it was good-natured and he never had "the slightest inkling of any undercurrent". Provan states he does not have "an ounce of regret" about playing for Celtic rather than Rangers."
