QUOTE OF THE DAY

‘I hear St Mirren have lodged a complaint to the SFA about the amount of injury time as it was way past the players’ bedtime’

and Sunday’s League Cup win is only papering over the cracks.”

Kenny Wilson, Moffat, said: “Can only say Celtic were absolutely woeful. A team with no creativity or any ideas how to break down a team sitting deep yet again. We don’t have a squad anywhere near good enough to win the league. Lots of players simply are not good enough for Celtic.”

Gordon Ashley, Ayr, said: “If we can somehow get to this transfer window no more than six points behind I’ll be more than happy with that.

“This league is going to be a season of two halves as you can tell by the way Rangers and their fans are desperately scrambling around trying to get games played behind closed doors.”

Alfie Mullin, London, said: “Once again the SPFL has been shown up as a laughing stock after voting in favour of Celtic. They want the winter break brought forward so they have a chance of injured players coming back in time to play against Rangers and knowing Rangers will be weakened because important players are off to the African Nations Cup.”

Alan Milligan emailed: “There was no chance the SPFL board were going to deny Celtic’s request to bring the mid-season break forward. Has Neil Doncaster also instructed the referees to now play 97 minutes for every Celtic game?”

Derek Ferguson emailed: “The football authorities surely must now state clearly any players signed in the transfer window will not be able to play in the re-scheduled fixtures which were demanded by certain clubs. I’m sure all of these clubs will want to see ‘sporting integrity’ prevail.”
