QUOTE OF THE DAY

‘Gordon’s weakness at cross balls and his inability to read the play in front of him – and his fear of getting hurt – cost Scotland’ business to capture the £40million on offer for winning this season’s title. They now look red-hot favourites with the squad still intact and more in.”

Danny Robertson, Paisley, said: “Ashley tried to cover up another Old Firm defeat with a load of garbage. Now he tries to move the spotlight from his team’s performance by stating he looks forward to seeing the yearly accounts of Rangers?

“At the end of the season when Rangers are doing a lap of honour with their trophies let’s see how many of his fellow supporters turn up at Celtic Park to see their bank balance being paraded around.”

Joe Smith, Coleraine, said: “The Rangers board are to be commended on retaining all the top players from the 55 squad, unlike the fire sale across the city we can afford to retain our players.”

Alfie Mullin, London, said: “Caller Tam Williamson said that Rangers won’t win the league, as it’s always the richest clubs that win the league and Celtic are the richest club in Scotland. What happened last season then?

“If Celtic are supposed to be the richest club in Scotland, shouldn’t they have won the league? Instead they ended up like donkeys against thoroughbreds in the Cheltenham Gold Cup.”

And Joe Sneddon, Lanark, said: “These Celtic fans who are obsessed with number-crunching should remember the only numbers that matter are 55 league titles and 0 trophies

“At least super-rich Celtic and their fans can sleep well at night knowing that have the perfect place to store their billions – an empty trophy room.”
