QUOTE OF THE DAY

‘I’d rather watch any Premiership gamethaninsipidPremierLeague match. Dark, dull and more boring than Newcastle? Give it a rest’ our game yet never off the Hotline with his Old Firm, mines is bigger than yours garbage.

“The Edinburgh derby was a damn sight more exciting than his Celtic team’s game with Rangers.

“But rather than resort to his pathetic jibes, I’ll just chill and get ready to enjoy this weekend’s Dundee derby. I’d rather watch any Premiership game than an insipid Premier League match. Dark, dull and more boring than Newcastle? Give it a rest Bob.”

George Fairgrieve emailed: “Robert belittles Tam McManus’ assertion that the Edinburgh derby was a good advert for Scottish football by comparing it to the Manchester United game.

“Well Rob, we don’t pay players £500,000 a week and, talking of juniors, United got beaten by a bunch of Young Boys this week.”

Odsonne Edouard is off earning big bucks down south but it hasn’t ended the great debate over the Frenchman and Rangers frontman Alfredo Morelos.

Chris Lowe, Yoker, said: “So Edouard scores two tap-ins against a 10-man Spurs team chasing the game and the first thing on Hotline caller Brian McColligan’s mind is European record-breaking Morelos.

“Remind me again, when did Spurs last win anything? Unlike the teams Morelos is scoring against regularly – Porto, Feyenoord, Benfica... the list is endless.”

Jim Mackenzie, East Kilbride, said: “Brian McColligan thinks Edouard proved Hotline regulars wrong by scoring twice in six minutes for Crystal Palace but it actually proved those who called him an empty jersey correct.

“He had downed tools for Celtic. Or maybe it was having decent players supplying him that made the difference, something his rotten Celtic team didn’t supply.”
