QUOTE OF THE DAY

-

‘Ange’s game plan may work in the Australian league or on a Subbuteo board but no-one here has a clue what he’s trying to do’ before? That’s the flattest I’ve seen Ange Postecoglo­u after a game. A team full of new signings who look like they do not have the ability to play the way he wants.

“We lose a goal and players shrink because nobody is getting tore into them. A lack of leadership and character is very apparent.”

Jimmy Murray, Edinburgh, said: “Ange is the new Lennon. A yes man, tactically clueless, blames the media for his faults. His game plan may work in the Australian league or on a Subbuteo board but there is no one here who has a clue what he is trying to achieve. Especially the players.”

And Tam Williamson, Lanarkshir­e, said: “The board and so-called defence coaches John Kennedy and Gavin Strachan have now seen the demise of another manager. Joe Hart must be astonished by the shambolic coaching within the club. Surely the Celtic support won’t accept this much longer.”

But Robert McEwan, Mount Vernon, said: “Once again missed chances cost us but we were playing a very good team. It’s hard to take but forget Europe, the league always was our priority.”

Rangers fans too are concerned by their side’s fall in standards.

Frank McFerran, Carrickfer­gus, said: “Rangers and Celtic are just not good enough in Europe this year, Celtic are in transition and I just don’t know what has happened at Ibrox. From a good team to a team that is just awful.”

Kevin Kean, Inchinnan, said: “A few flaws starting to emerge in Steven Gerrard’s squad. Big mistake letting Nikola Katic go, Jack Simpson has been found out – why sign a Bournemout­h reserve not even in Europa squad? Scott Wright is ordinary and Jermain Defoe is still way better than Fashion Sakala. Rangers are there for the taking.”
