QUOTE OF THE DAY

‘As the LEDs flashed over their heads on Thursday, I wonder if the Celtic fans were thinking: Disco lights or John McGinn?’

the stands at Parkhead was indeed a ‘lightbulb moment’. Dusting down the unused disco lights in an effort to attract fans to their League Cup tie with Championship, rather than Champions League, club Raith Rovers was a master stroke. Except that it only helped highlight all those empty seats even more. As the LEDs flashed over their heads, I wonder if the Celtic fans were thinking: Disco lights or John McGinn?”

Along similar lines Gary Rattray emailed: “It’s an absolute farce that the two Glasgow clubs can’t allow away fans to attend games. As a fan who attends games every week it’s very disappointing.”

Leigh Griffiths faces a carpeting from the beaks after booting a flare into the St Johnstone support in Wednesday’s defeat at Dens.

Scott Gowers, Edinburgh, blasted: “If Griffiths is not fast tracked by the SFA for punishment then I will categorically state the SFA’s disciplinary committee is severely flawed. For the SFA and the SPFL to turn a blind eye prior to Dundee playing Rangers seems to tell its own story, especially with something as serious as this.”

Stephen Johnstone, Ardentinny, added: “It’s time to kick Leigh Griffiths out of Dens before they get deeper into trouble and possibly relegated by his reckless conduct on the park and off.”

Finally, and the aforementioned Scott Gowers claimed Glen Kamara can become Scotland’s first £30million sale in yesterday’s Hotline.

Gordon Ashley, Ayr, said: “Where do Rangers fans get the comedy values? £30m for Kamara, who nobody was interested in at £10m because he’s a bog standard midfielder, who never scores or provides killer through balls like Callum McGregor. The £15m sale they dream of will never happen.”
