QUOTE OF THE DAY

‘Is this the same Celtic who were happy to be awarded a title because the league was called early due to the coronavirus?’ squads we should have more than enough to see off an average side such as Rangers.”

Stuart Pearson had a message for another regular: “Gordon Ashley claims the luck is with Rangers due to Parkhead being empty, well he obviously forgets last time they won in a full stadium! Time for a memory boost on Saturday, Gordon.” Step forward the man himself as Gordon Ashley,

said: “Rangers supporters whingeing about Celtic fans making excuses are missing the point as usual. We’re more than confident of turning over their team of serial losers even with five first-team players doubtful. We’re a bigger club with a bigger squad, their fans’ over-confidence will come back to haunt them.”

emailed: “All we hear is Rangers fans speaking of meaningless records – Davis’ Northern Ireland caps, clean sheets this year, records that can and will be broken. More important are firsts – first British team to win the European Cup, first Scottish team to win nine then another nine in a row, first to 11 domestic trophies in a row – records that can’t be broken.”

Away from the Old Firm and one caller took Kilmarnock boss Alex Dyer to task for suggesting Livingston should have helped his Covid-hit squad by agreeing to move Saturday’s match back to midweek.

William Laing emailed: “Just wondering if Dyer would’ve been so willing to rearrange the Livingston game if the boot had been on the other foot?”

Scotland finished the build-up to next month’s crucial Euro 2020 play-off final against Serbia last night but Stephen Johnstone, Ardentinny, reckons they should already be there.

He said: “As Scotland are co-hosting the Euros why did they not get the same bye as England in the 1966 World Cup? If a nation hosts any football event automatic qualification should prevail.”
