QUOTE OF THE DAY

‘The Czechs were bounced at Hampden but the result against Serbia will tell us how far Scotland have come under Clarke’

Old Firm fans flocking to Blackpool. I hope I’m wrong.”

Scott Gowers, Edinburgh, said: “There’s talk of Ryan Christie and Kieran Tierney turning out for their clubs this weekend prior to their isolation periods being up. No matter what reason or how much they plead their cases, neither can be allowed to play

“Many people who should be isolating would come out of it early seeing it okay for others. I don’t want anyone put at risk all for the sake of football.”

John Bruce emailed: “In Europe, many of Rangers’ best results have come away from home over the past three seasons, where they’ve played without fear, dominated games and scored some top-class goals.

“If Rangers and Celtic both bring their typical European form to the Old Firm game, by the end of the match Rangers fans will be on a familiar high, with a lot of Bhoys crying into their carry-outs.”

Graeme Sutherland emailed: “I expect Rangers to take the game to Celtic and show that we are the superior team. James Tavernier and Borna Barisic will cause problems down the wings and we will dominate midfield as is now the norm in these games.

“Add an in-form Ryan Kent who thrives in these games and I can only see one winner.”

Brian Duff, Glenrothes, said: “In reply to the caller who suggested replacing Steven Gerrard with Steve Clarke when the former departs, why not go a step further and get Rangers to sign Oli McBurnie to complete the silly season?”

Frank McFerran, Carrickfergus, said: “Clarke wouldn’t take the Rangers job and the Rangers support wouldn’t want him, so that’s that idea put to bed.”

Stephen Johnstone, Ardentinny, said: “The Czechs were bounced at Hampden but the result against Serbia will tell us how far Scotland have come under Clarke.”
