QUOTE OF THE DAY

‘When will Old Firm fans get it into their thick heads they will never do anything in the Champions League? They’re living in Toyland’

remember how their side got on in the Champions League qualifiers?

“As they have selective memories, they got beat home and away by Malmo! The Swedes aren’t exactly a member of the European elite and we will see how they get on this season in the qualifiers. “Going by their bragging it should be easy.” But Paddy Gowans emailed: “When are these Old Firm fans going to get it into their thick heads they will never do anything in the Champions League? They are living in Toyland with Noddy and his friends!”

The gears of the transfer merry go round are slowly but surely grinding into motion.

And Stephen Johnstone, Ardentinny, said: “Rangers need to spend the dosh and sign Ross Stewart from Sunderland.

“The Scotland hitman is what Rangers need to mount a serious challenge of getting into the group stage of the Champions League and also wrestling the league flag back from Celtic.”

Celtic keeper Vasilis Barkas aimed a parting shot as the Greek ended his Hoops hell by joining Utrecht on loan, advising fellow goalkeepers to avoid a move to Parkhead.

Eddie Fraser emailed: “Let’s hope that Barkas has a good season on loan and finds the love that he obviously needs as it looks like he’s already planning on not coming back to Scotland – and let’s be honest, he won’t be missed.”

And finally, Aberdeen fan Andrew Lamb, Fraserburgh, was happy to bid farewell to Scotland centre-back Declan Gallagher, saying: “I felt Aberdeen were sold a bit of a pup in Declan Gallacher. He was slow as syrup and wasn’t even that good a defender. St Mirren are about his level.”
