QUOTE OF THE DAY

‘Imagine what Rangers would’ve been able to achieve in Europe if only we had Gordon, Rogic, McGregor and Charles-Cook?’

Ashley for praising Rangers for their performances in Europe and gaining the automatic Champions League spot. Two things, £40m won’t buy you a Champions League team and, secondly, the league isn’t over.”

Stuart McLeod, Stepps, said: “Mr Ashley has been at the tranquilisers again after claiming Celtic can now move forward in Europe with a £40m bounty and take on the cream of Europe. Can I remind him his club had access to these riches unopposed in Scottish football and we have witnessed this elite European team that has failed to win a knockout match in Europe since 2004.”

Jimmy Murray, Edinburgh, said: “I remember Rangers of the past and the Lawrence dynasty. They would never have had this nonsense with cinch. They had far too much class to embarrass the club.

“The current Rangers board is an embarrassment. Surely they can’t accept any money from cinch.

“Any monies they are due they should pass on to the lower leagues. They should try and show at least a little bit of class.”

Ronnie Collins emailed: “I’m not a Celtic fan but I hear they’re struggling to find a song where the manager’s name fits into it. What about this? So here he is Ange Postecoglou and everyone’s having fun, look to the future now, he’s only just begun?”

Gary Stevenson, Newtonhill, said: “Imagine what Rangers would have been able to achieve in Europe if only we had Craig Gordon, Tom Rogic, Callum McGregor and Regan Charles-Cook. Here was me thinking that the PFA did not have a sense of humour.”

Hugh McKirdy emailed: “Regarding caller Andrew Lamb’s comments about Aberdeen only trying against Rangers. Under Derek Mcinnes they never finished outside the top four so simple arithmetic tells you they beat a few teams. Back to school Andrew.”
