QUOTE OF THE DAY

‘Christmas comes early for Celtic. Even Santa watching in Lapland could see Kyogo was offside. The sooner VAR’s installed the better’ teams are awarded penalty kicks, especially when they have the league’s biggest diver in Kyogo as he showed yet again against Hearts. It isn’t a name he should have on his back, it’s an oxygen tank.”

Stuart Gillespie emailed: “Get your money on the Japanese Olympic diving team winning gold at the next Olympics. They must have some team if Kyogo isn’t in it.”

William Hutchison, Aberdeen, said: “As a Celtic fan I’m ashamed with objects thrown at Barry McKay from the Celtic end. Do these people enjoy watching the club getting fined or even worse points deducted? If this keeps up it’s going to happen and we only have ourselves to blame.”

Kevin Lord, Drylaw, said: “Fans being allowed to pelt players with missiles will not end until someone is seriously hurt – or teams are hammered for it. Managers should order teams off the park, regardless of consequences. Not a court in the land would go against them in terms of health and safety at work.”

David Bryce, Troon, said: “Well done Celtic for a decent victory against a good Hearts side. We played well in the first half but were awful in the second. We’re soft as butter and shockingly injury-prone. I thought Carl Starfelt and Callum McGregor were outstanding.”

Lewis Doyle, Tipperary, said: “It has become apparent in the last few weeks that Celtic lack a hard man in the middle of the park to protect all these so-called silky passing players. More players injured against Hearts, it’s happening in every game.”

Paul McCormack, Coatbridge, said: “Don’t know what the schedule was like in Japan or Australia but it’s quite clear three games a week with the style of play Ange wants is taking its toll on our already sparse squad. Need to nurse this squad into January and get fresh legs into that team.”
