QUOTE OF THE DAY

‘Rangers couldn’t get out of the Championship at the first attempt and was it not Hearts that went up that season?’ out of the Cup that Celtic just won?’ Hearts and they were bottom of the Premiership when they did it.”

Charles Buchanan emailed: “Hotline callers Mullin and John Bruce are just jealous by claiming Celtic have won tainted Trebles as well as saying we couldn’t beat a Championship team over 120 minutes. Is that the same Rangers that couldn’t get out of the Championship at their first attempt and, remind me again, was it not Hearts that went up that season?”

William Hutchison, Aberdeen, said: “I accept the last League Cup and last title were a bit dubious for us to win but the last 10 trophies have been won fair and square so why shouldn’t Celtic fans gloat? If the shoe was on the other foot, would Rangers not be gloating?”

Odsonne’s Edouard’s cup final spot-kick is still sparking debate and John Scott, Grassmoor, said: “A Panenka can look awesome but only when it comes off. Just ask Jason Cummings who missed a Panenka in the 2016 Scottish Cup semi-final.

“Alan Stubbs wanted to throttle him but thankfully he made up for his show of brashness by scoring a traditional penalty in the shootout.”

Robert Livingstone, Palm Beach, said: “Record Sport’s David McCarthy called it correctly by saying it’s the season of goodwill but that Old Firm fans have very little to offer each other. Let’s all try and be calm and be a little more Christian.

“I won’t mention names but our friend from Ayr needs to relax over the holidays after a boisterous year putting his point of view across. I look forward to the Hotline in 2021.”

Finally, George Walkingshaw emailed: “I’ve already said I felt Scotland boss Stevie Clark was playing Scott McTominay out of position. After watching his display against Leeds, he has to build his team around him in the middle of the park. He has outstanding abilities.”
