QUOTE OF THE DAY

‘If Gio got his tactics right against Hearts surely Allan McGregor would have been a bystander yet his keeper was man of the match’ match. Surely if the tactics were so good the goalkeeper would have been a bystander. With a bit of luck Hearts could have scored three or four.”

George Wilson, West Sussex, said: “I knew someone like Kevin Monaghan would be on here with the usual anti-Rangers nonsense commenting on Rangers having three consecutive home games and Celtic three consecutive away. Throughout the season Rangers and Celtic regularly have two consecutive home or away games.

“The games being played this Wednesday are additional fixtures postponed from League Cup semifinal weekend so make it three home and three away respectively. But they were not on the original fixture list. Rangers’ last four games included three away to Hibs, Livingston and Hearts. Research your facts Kevin before you start moaning about nothing on here.”

John Bruce emailed: “Rangers fans can now look forward to seeing superstars like Erling Haaland strut their stuff in what’s sure to be a sell-out Ibrox against Borussia Dortmund.

“It looks like Celtic won’t have to bother unpacking the disco lights as they’ve drawn Norwegian champions Bodo/Glimt, the team who beat Roma 6-1. So it could be the familiar short stay for Celtic, in their third Euro competition already this season, unless UEFA can dream up yet another escape route.”

Joe Hamilton emailed: “Can someone please tell Henry Moffat the Cup Winners’ Cup was the second most prestigious cup in Europe. It seems this guy knows nothing about the trophies of European football.”

David Bryce, Troon, said: “Although Celtic are still in Europe after Christmas, I can’t get excited about the Conference League. That shows the level Celtic are at just now and shines a bad light on the board who have overseen a fall to that level.”
