QUOTE OF THE DAY

‘If Rangers sacrificed league to pursue Euro success, perhaps Celtic lost out in Europe to concentrate on regaining title’ “Thursday night proved that Rangers are the best football team in Scotland by far.

“Every Rangers player in that team is now worth double those of a Celtic squad that embarrassed Scotland with their appalling displays in Europe.”

Ex-Ger Kenny Miller reckons winning the Europa League would be among the great Scottish football achievements. But Stevie Drennan emailed: “Can someone please ask Kenny to put the Evo-Stik away.

“Winning the Europa will be up there with the Lisbon Lions? Get a grip.”

Henry Moffat, Stirling, added: “What is Kenny on about? The big leagues still had all the best players back then and Celtic beat the champions of every country they played.”

Harry Fitpatrick, Ontario, said: “What is Kenny smoking? Can someone tell him it’s the Europa League, not the big one. It’s the reason why Celtic have the one real star above their logo, not phoney ones worn on Rangers tops.”

Paul McArdle, Gourock, said: “The Lisbon Lions won five trophies and were the first British club to win the European Cup. Rangers never got anywhere near it but their fans tell it us it was easy.”

Robert Frew, Glasgow, said: “Rangers fans claim they sacrificed the title to pursue success in Europe. Using their logic perhaps Celtic lost out in Europe to concentrate on regaining the title.” Celtic fans have started their title party though. Gerry Milligan, Erskine, said: “What Ange Postecoglou has delivered in 10 months is simply supernatural.”

Sean Beech, Hampshire, said: “Enjoy your finals Rangers but whatever happens you’re still only second best in Scotland this season because the league table doesn’t lie.”
