QUOTE OF THE DAY

‘No Celtic fan wants to talk about Europe and I wonder why that is? The Sydney Super Cup in Australia is the only trophy that is a priority’

in Antonio Colak and Tom Lawrence plus youthful exuberance in Rabbi Matondo and Malik Tillman.

“We’ve also added four or five gems to our exciting array of young talent in the academy and are spending next to nothing with Ianis Hagi and Alfredo Morelos to come back.”

George Wilson, West Sussex, said: “Hotline regular Gordon Ashley told us recently Rangers would get a maximum of £8m for Bassey.

“If he knows all that goes on at Rangers, then surely he also knows all that goes on at Celtic?

“Ashley just embarrasses himself constantly and has done it again spectacularly with more of his negative nonsense about Rangers.

“He must be delighted with the home draw against the mighty Blackburn Rovers.”

Patrick McFadden, Donegal, said: “Mr Wilson claims to have been in the Ibrox trophy room and seen all the silverware. Could he explain to everyone what half a trophy looks like, the one they shared with Dumbarton? Did they get the top half? The bottom half? Or was it split down the middle? Thank you

Hotline and a wonderful new season to everyone.”

Jamie Thompson, Clydebank, said: “Celtic fans are worried, as you can tell when they bombard the Hotline with the latest Poundland jibe about Rangers. The last I heard Celtic were upgrading Parkhead with a nice new extension for all these players they bought and keep buying. They need to do their talking on the pitch.”

Seamie Gallagher, Govan, said: “I’d just like to give any confused or jealous people a reality check.

“Since the millennium, Celtic have won 36 trophies. That includes 16 titles, five trebles, five doubles, one invincible treble and one quadruple treble. What an era it has been for my club and it’s still ongoing.”
