QUOTE OF THE DAY

‘Will Celtic fans now no longer recognise the city and have their ‘Seville Wall’ at Parkhead changed to the ‘Spanish Wall’?’

some. They weren’t saying that last season when Celtic had that many things to deal with. Let’s see what happens a week on Wednesday, nobody remembers runner-ups but we will still be champions.”

Terry Reilly, via email, said: “Having a good laugh at Rangers fans going on about what is now the biggest trophy in the world, trying to cover up the fact they’re running scared from Celtic, who were expected to win nothing this year. Big Ange has only got started – another nine in a row is on its way.”

Happy Hoops punter Ian Gallagher, Kirkintilloch, said: “Enormous credit must go to Peter Lawwell, the board and others involved for thinking outside the box by recruiting a top manager in Ange Postecoglou now that Celtic are back as the best team in Scotland after last season’s failings. With the huge financial rewards from the Champions League, the opportunities are there to continue the team’s transition.”

Malcolm Nimmo, Dunlop, said: “I’m a Celtic fan and it is a good achievement for Rangers to get to the final but I would have the Lisbon Lions and Aberdeen’s win in Europe before anything Rangers can achieve. If it was the Champions League Final they were in then that would be up there.” But some rivals are actually rooting for Rangers. Eddie McGaulley, Cornwall, said: “I’m a Celtic fan but I’d rather see Rangers win a European trophy than some German team I know nothing about.”

And Hugh McKirdy, via email, said: “I’m an Aberdeen fan but good luck to Rangers in their Euro final. Ten years ago a lot of people had the knife out for them after their financial troubles so well done.”

Mind you, Dons fan Tam Bain, Desborough, said: “Reminder to Rangers fans, Aberdeen beat the mighty Real Madrid in a European final – a much bigger fish.”
