QUOTE OF THE DAY

‘Can someone remind Barry Ferguson that it’s the middle of October and not April 1? Gerrard to turn down Newcastle, indeed’

Glasgow Rangers Football Club. He will be an absolute shoo-in for the title, unlike his second-favourite Glasgow football club.”

Jim Mackenzie, East Kilbride, said: “Is Ashley a Celtic fan? He only ever talks about Rangers. Nothing to say about the shambles that is your own club? Your obsession with all things Rangers is hilarious.”

Ashley has an ally as Henry Moffat, Stirling, said: “Rangers may have stopped the 10 but it’s obvious their fans will never get over the fact they failed to stop the double nine in a row which was the real goal.

“It was won within the rules and in front of fans like major football trophies are supposed to be won, unlike their no-fans training game trophy which will always be debated whether it should have been played at all.”

Scotland picked up two wins over the break but not everyone got to see it.

Stephen Johnstone, Ardentinny, said: “The SFA need to get a grip with the TV broadcasters and show people in Scotland the most important games in our World Cup group, not the meaningless England games on our Scottish council telly.

“Thank God for the radio at the weekend. Put the Moldova game on for free like our English counterparts who enjoy matches with no subscription.”

Finally, Ross County’s investigation in to racism cleared their fans. But Derek Adese, Dundee, said: “They took witness statements from 20 other County supporters in the vicinity of the alleged racist abuse.

“I’d bet they were more than likely friends or at least known to one another, so to use these guys as impartial witnesses wouldn’t happen in Columbo or Jessica Fletcher. Let’s hope it was a one off.

“By the way, I’m a Scottish Nigerian Dundonian, so know all about racism in the 60s.”
