QUOTE OF THE DAY
‘Caixinha is moaning about a mole but this is the guy who gave out his starting 11 to the media days before facing Celtic last season’
Benny Miller, Glasgow, said: “Strachan was wrong to say it’s about height. I’ve looked at the tables and no side that conceded more than 12 goals qualified. His defence was where the problems lay.”
said: “Strachan has gone and taken the continuous failure – and best friend – Mark McGhee with him.
“He should remember the old saying ‘It’s sometimes better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you’re incapable rather than opening it and removing all doubt.’”
But emailed: “Strachan should have stayed but should have started bringing through young blood. In his last two games he didn’t play anyone in midfield with proven goalscoring ability.”
Elsewhere, Celtic fans don’t like any talk about their manager attracting attention.
said: “Is this an another example of fake news? Brendan Rodgers for Chelsea if Antonio Conte goes? Brendan is toxic down south.
“If he wasn’t in line for other Premier League jobs like Southampton, Watford and Swansea there is no way he would be in the frame for any top-six jobs.” A caller was in the firing line as
said: “There’s a lot of bitter, hurting Rangers fans just now. Jim Kinell had a pop at Celtic’s ambitions of finishing third in a group of four that includes Bayern and PSG is laughable. He’d kick his granny to see his club at that level again.”
emailed: “Kinell has no idea about football when he says Scotland’s failure is down to Celtic players. He also mocked their aim of coming third in a Champions League group of four clubs, two of whom are years ahead of Scottish football both in finance and talent. It sounds more like sour grapes.”
Finally a bit of praise for one of the all time greats – and Lionel Messi. said: “Thanks to Euan McLean for his article on Messi yesterday, giving his performance against Ecuador the recognition it deserved.” CALL THE HOTLINE TODAY FROM 11 TILL 12 NOON on: 0141 309 3306 or email us: hotline@dailyrecord.co.uk
