QUOTE OF THE DAY

‘For Ange Postecoglou to say Giorgos Giakoumakis is not up to speed, in the middle of September, is simply shocking’ search for new money by five of the SPFL clubs simply proves that there are far too many teams in the SPFL chasing a small pot of cash. The Premiership can support no more than 10 clubs, max.”

Hotline regular Gordon Ashley, Ayr, was back for his daily bicker as he said: “Caller Chris Lowe must be nominated for a comedy award after his Alfredo Morelos gag in yesterday’s paper.

“His list of so-called big names he has netted against that ‘goes on and on’ but actually ends after the three clubs he mentions. He’s worth £6million tops.”

But Frank McFerran, Carrickfergus, just wishes we could all get along. He said: “As a Rangers fan, unlike the famous Celtic fan on this site, I want both teams to do well in Europe.”

Alan Lough, Dunbar, wasn’t impressed by what he saw from PSG’s star-studded line-up after they failed to overcome a Club Brugge defence marshalled by Scotland’s Jack Hendry on Wednesday night.

He said: “PSG were awful against a brilliant Club Brugge team who played them off the park and were unfortunate not to get the umpteen goals their performance deserved.”

Dons fan Andrew Lamb, Fraserburgh, emailed: “I wish Aberdeen players would stop all the gung-ho battle cries and do their talking on the park, starting with a win against St Johnstone on Saturday. The Perth side are so dull and haven’t won a game yet.”

Bankie Stephen McLaren said: “I would just like to say good luck to Clydebank FC, who will be playing their first Scottish Cup tie in the town for 25 this years on Saturday.”

And Frank Scanlan, Shawlands, said: “Well done for printing an Ayr Gold Cup version of The Punter! It’s definitely Scotland’s best racing guide! I now need to find some winners!”
