QUOTE OF THE DAY

‘Ange looked totally bewildered as fans trotted out the usual cringeworthy rubbish about refs all supporting the same team ’ with the humility and honesty that big Ange showed? If he can uplift the players back to their previous level and hang on to Odsonne Edouard or Ryan Christie then Celtic have a decent foundation.”

Alex Clark, Larkhall, said: “Postecoglou must have thought he had landed in a parallel universe during the meet-the-fans session, he looked totally bewildered as they trotted out the usual cringeworthy rubbish about referees all supporting the same team.

“My sides almost split when one guy actually said: ‘You have no friends here except in this room.’“

Over to Tayside and Ronnie Swan, Lochee, is one disillusioned Arab. He said: “I said I’d never set foot in Tannadice as long as Tony Ashgar is there and I stick by that. However, I’m still interested in what’s going on. According to the happy clappers all is well other than yet another coach arriving – Charlie Mulgrew. I make that 12 coaches now and zero signings. There are none so blind as those who will not see.”

On to the Euros now and with Scotland’s Group D rivals the Czech Republic dumping the Dutch, some fans reckon it’s time to ease the criticism of Steve Clarke and his troops. Robbie Devlin emailed: “If England beat Germany as well would the doubters have to say we didn’t actually play that bad?”

Stephen Johnstone, Ardentinny, added: “Let’s put past memories of our clashes with England into the history books and get behind them during these harsh times. Hopefully they get to the final.”

Cristiano Ronaldo bowed out with Portugal in the last 16 to Belgium and Alan Lough, Dunbar, said: “The self-proclaimed greatest player of all time goes out of the Euros with a whimper after his usual contribution of tap-ins and penalties.

“Any club who gives him a contract for next season needs to get their head examined.”
