QUOTE OF THE DAY

‘I’m sure Dembele doesn’t think McCoist’s gardening skills are worth £20,000 a week but the Frenchman hasn’t got a big mouth’

-

none of us really believe any player is worth the countless millions being shelled out south of the border, if a team is willing to pay £90m for Paul Pogba then surely Celtic have the right to slap on Dembele any value they think the moneybags down south will pay.” Before we get to Caixinha, James Eadie,

Maryhill, phoned in with this left-field offering. He said: “There is only one man for the Rangers job and that is Sir Alex Ferguson.” Eh? On to the Portuguese now and Lewis

Fotheringh­am, Gartcosh, said: “Rangers are taking a big risk by getting this guy. There are more obvious candidates for the job.

“We all know what happened when Celtic went for Ronny Deila rather than the likes of Owen Coyle in 2014. I hope this gamble pays off for Rangers.”

Stephen Johnstone, Ardentinny, said: “Rangers would be as well employing ‘Doctor Who’ as opposed to Pedro who?

“There will be millions of pounds squandered on this managerial appointmen­t and I can see this will be folly and end in tears much in the same way it did with Paul Le Guen.”

Meanwhile, Mick Docherty, Kirkintill­och, said: “I believe Caixinha is a bit of a matador. So that means he will be used to charging at the colour red.

“That’s where Rangers will be for the next few years, fighting with Aberdeen for second place.”

John Reid, Bearsden, said: “All I have heard since Rangers came back up to the Premiershi­p is that they should be challengin­g Celtic for the title.

“Rangers have come from oblivion in the past four years with next to no finance. Now people are talking about record scores for Celtic on Sunday.

“So if that is the case, how can Rangers be expected to mount a title challenge to Celtic?”
