QUOTE OF THE DAY

‘Top of the league, glorious European nights, strong leadership and great player recruitment. Who would have thought that back in 2012?’ these two being treated differently from Jordan Jones and George Edmundson? Over to you Steven.”

On to the match itself, Stuart McLeod, Stepps, said: “Well done Gerrard and Rangers for another great European night. Free-scoring, entertaining and helping the coefficient. The stock of the club has reached new highs.”

Alan Milligan said: “Thursday proved Alfredo Morelos is the best striker in Scotland by a country mile. His all-round game is tremendous.”

With a hint of sarcasm, Samuel Ruddock, Ayr, said: “Neil Doncaster must be bursting with pride as his league champions-elect continue to rip it up in Europe.

“What an advert it must be for the SPFL. Surely Neil will be shouting from the rooftops about the SPFL finally starting to flourish and praising Scotland’s representative in Europe.”

Gordon Ferguson, Kilwinning, said: “Top of the league, glorious European nights, strong leadership and great player recruitment. Who would have thought that back in 2012? What a turnaround in a club. Celtic have been left rudderless by their leadership and Rangers have taken full advantage.”

On to Celtic and Jack Lambert, Newcastle, said: “The quicker Celtic get a manager, the better. And get rid of John Kennedy as well. He is the so-called defence mastermind but is one of the main problems in the coaching system. Get Rafa Benitez in.”

Last word goes to Iain Cameron, Falkirk, who said: “Steve Clarke is a shoo-in for the Celtic job.

“He is the inexpensive mid-range choice and he has never hidden his dislike for Rangers.

“It wouldn’t be a major change for him anyway as the majority of his selections for the national team are made through green-tinted glasses. But let them crack on. Stevie G has nothing to be worried about there.”
