‘The only positive thing about our goalkeeping situation is that we learned we have three third-choice keepers’

positive thing about our goalkeeping situation is that we learned we have three third-choice goalkeepers.”

David Bryce, Troon, said: “I was impressed with Celtic, I like Ange’s style of play. The positives are the brilliant performances of Abada, Welsh, Soro, Christie and Taylor, however the goalkeeper is woeful.

“Edouard was again shocking up front and Bitton should never play for the club again after a moment of madness. He dropped his team-mates in it big style and should be heavily fined and sold in this window.”

Eddie Easson, Ballingry, said: “For all the prophets of doom Celtic played well apart from Bitton and Barkas fluffing their lines. Another potentially good academy player Dane Murray strolled through it. Every player fought for the jersey.

“Big Ange showed he was nobody’s fool with his statement about the slowness of getting bodies in. This will have stirred things up.”

But Neil Renton, Edinburgh, said: “If Celtic do go out of the Champions League at this early stage, they shouldn’t worry too much. At least they’ll be able to concentrate on battling for a top-six spot with Motherwell and St Mirren.”

Robert Hoey emailed a reply to Hotline regular Gordon Ashley. He said: “Still having a go at Rangers, Mr Ashley? Concentrate on your own team’s deficiencies. All your team’s previous records are already a distant memory for Rangers fans.

“The only thing that is fresh in our memories is officially title 55. And the way it was won, breaking all sorts of records. Roll on 56.”

Gers fan Brian Quinn, Paisley, said: “We need to sell Glen Kamara and Alfredo Morelos in this window or their value will drop as soon as it shuts. It already looks like we’ll lose Connor Goldson for nothing and can’t afford that to happen with them.”
