QUOTE OF THE DAY
‘Gers should look at Billy Reid. He has done a great job in Sweden and look at what he did at Accies on two balloons and a goldfish’
football experts telling us Rangers are at least five years behind Celtic are talking nonsense.
“If the next Rangers manager can make them a winning side against the rest and a side that doesn’t get beat by Celtic we would be right up there.
“I believe the next Rangers manager needs to have experience – that’s why a McLeish or Walter Smith would be my pick. Murty is a future Rangers manager and should be made assistant alongside either.”
emailed: “I’d give Murty a chance to the end of the season to see if can get better out Caixinha’s side. If not Murty then it has to be Eck!”
Former Newcastle boss Alan Pardew has also been mentioned. But said: “Pardew? The same man who lamented Scottish football during the loan signing of Fraser Forster from Newcastle to Celtic. Can we all assume he thinks our game has improved greatly since 2011? More likely he thinks we may have forgotten his putdown.”
said: “Rangers should be looking to someone like Billy Reid. He has done a great job in Sweden (No.2 at Ostersund) and look at what he did at Hamilton on two balloons and a goldfish.”
Back to philosophy and emailed: “Coming second isn’t in the psyche of a Rangers supporter. It shouldn’t be in the psyche of a Rangers player – and certainly not in that of the manager.
“We need a manager of stature befitting the club who commands respect, who knows about winning and who can motivate his squad to do the same.”
Kieran Tierney signed a bumper new six-year deal on Monday but not everyone believes he’ll see it out.
said: “There is no doubt he is the best left-back Scotland has since Eric Caldow but we all know Celtic are a selling club. Giving the contract to Tierney just says name your price.”
Finally, said: “It’s a nice touch for Motherwell and Celtic to pay tribute to Phil O’Donnell in the Betfred Cup Final. It will mean a lot to Phil’s family.” CALL THE HOTLINE TODAY FROM 11 TILL 12 NOON on: 0141 309 3306 or email us: hotline@dailyrecord.co.uk
