QUOTE OF THE DAY

‘It’s time the Chuckle Brothers – Boyata and Simunovic – took their slapstick routine on the road to the Gaiety and Citizens’

be back next season and the gap is closing. They’re absolutely delusional. Our bench was stronger than their starting 11.”

Lance Little, Erskine, said: “I have to agree with Rangers fans that when Celtic play them with 10 men for 36 minutes of a 90-minute match then it does look like the gap is closing. The reality, however, is Celtic can beat them at Ibrox even with a man down. That’s not a gap, it’s a canyon.”

Stevie Delaney emailed: “I keep reading the gap is closing in the Premiership but after the weekend’s results the only gap I see closing is the one Aberdeen and Hibs are making up. Watch your back Graeme!”

John Lavelle, Irvine, said: “Its time for the Chuckle Brothers – Boyata and Simunovic – to take their slapstick routine on the road. I’m not talking about Pittodrie, Easter Road or Ibrox, more like the Gaiety, the Citizens and the Playhouse. My jaws were sore watching them on Sunday.”

John Scott, Grassmoor, said: “What is it with Celtic fans and their paranoid condemnation of every major decision that goes against them? It’s ridiculous to argue Simunovic didn’t deserve a red card because other incidents went unpunished.

“It’s not that long ago they were justifying Scott Brown’s elbow in Kenny Miller’s face as ‘protecting his space’. These are the same fans who vilified Aberdeen’s Jayden Stockley when he caught Kieran Tierney on the jaw. Give us all a rest with your conspiracies.”

Finally, a rap in the knuckles for our own David McCarthy. Harry Haddow, Brora, said: “I’m really disappointed in David’s take on the Jamie Carraghers-Barry Lyndon moment.

“The supporter responsible was driving at 5mph and shouted ‘2-1’ at Carragher yet David seems to think he was driving recklessly and endangering his daughter’s life. Do me a favour. This was no hate crime, it was football banter.”
