"I've never hidden the fact that I'm a Celtic supporter, so you can imagine what this means to me," Hartley told the Scottish Sun
Paul Hartley Jan 2007
----------------------
Following are two Q&A's taken from an interview in the Scotsman Newspaper with the Chairman of his old club (Vladimir Romanov - Hearts), Jan 2007

Q: Did you get to the bottom of the conflict between senior Hearts players and Eduard Malofeev?
VR: There was no conflict whatsoever, there was a banal betrayal. Players sold themselves for the striped shirts they were promised; they decided that these were so valuable that they could allow themselves to behave the way they did.

Q: Is that a reference to Celtic shirts?
VR: I don't know. To prison uniforms.

Hartley was a very controversial figures in Hearts v Celtic games, when he played against us!!! Hartley v Celtic: top controversial moments
HEARTS 0 CELTIC 3 February 8 2004
Ordered off in disgrace. First yellow card for swinging an arm at Lennon then followed it up with a lunge at his new Celtic captain.
HEARTS 2 CELTIC 3 January 1 2006
Three-game ban for kicking Ross Wallace off the ball. Had already been booked, but stayed on the field after the referee missed the incident.
HEARTS 3 CELTIC 0 April 30 2006
Caused a rumpus when he took a swift free-kick while the Celtic wall was being organised. His shot sailed past a startled Artur Boruc for Hearts' second goal.
