QUOTE OFTHE DAY

-

‘Steven Gerrard’s juggernaut keeps rolling along on relentless journey to silverware while Neil Lennon’s minibus is in dire need of repair’ Celtic board are in the firing line from fans but Brian Mitchell, Glasgow, said: “Do the Green Brigade not realise they are adding more unwanted pressure on our players by organising these yob type demonstrat­ions at Celtic Park?

“Excellent players are now quivering wrecks due to the pressure on them this season.”

James Logan, Glasgow, said: “This is the lot who cost the club a fortune in fines with offensive, sectarian and political banners, who put spectators at risk letting off flares and who vandalised away grounds. As a Celtic fan since the 1950s, they don’t speak for me.”

Graeme McClure, Chicago, said: “When is Celtic’s major shareholde­r Dermot Desmond going to take action? How long is he going to leave the team without a proper leader?” Elsewhere it wasn’t a great weekend for our whistlers. Scott Gowers, Edinburgh, said: “The standard of refereeing in Scottish football is awful with three of the four referees on Saturday making absolutely shocking decisions.

“Firstly the Motherwell disallowed goal, secondly Lewis Ferguson’s second yellow card and thirdly the lack of a penalty to Kilmarnock.”

Unhappy Killie fan Jim McClean, Rothesay, said: “I backed Alex Dyer at the beginning of the season but he is lost without Steve Clarke. What manager would wait until under a minute to go and put on a substitute when down 1-0.”

Finally, thank you to Ian Strathearn, Bathgate, for this: “Great tributes in Saturday’s Record to Paul Jain - best known as Mr Fixit. He was obviously held in extremely high regard by his fellow journalist­s and a very sad loss at such a young age.

“He gave me a few good tips over the years especially his ‘super single’. RIP Mr. Fixit.”
