QUOTE OF THE DAY

‘Celtic have beaten a poor side twice in Europe and beat the worst side in the SPFL. Yet suddenly they’re world beaters’

season was that Celtic managed to get a point from us. Now that was flukey.”

Andy Adams, Kirkcaldy, said: “I’ve never heard so much rubbish saying supporters being back are hindering Rangers. A load of garbage but I suppose if you say it often enough, people will start to believe it.”

Gordon Ferguson, Kilwinning, said: “Nathan Patterson must be a starter in Thursday’s Europa match. He showed every quality Rangers will require to defeat Alashkert and didn’t they play well in front of a packed Ibrox crowd. It seems the demise of this Gers team is being slightly exaggerated and their bond with the fans is still strong. Ibrox was rocking once again.”

But Brian Quinn, Paisley, said: “Rangers need to find a way of getting new signings in, things have gone stale. An easy win against a team who last week were beaten 3-0 at home by a team playing League One football last season only papers over the cracks.

“I watched highlights of Ludogorets and we would have beat them as they were lucky to progress.”

Celtic are up and running but not quickly enough for some. David Bryce, Troon, said: “I am sick and tired of Dominic McKay and the Celtic board haggling over transfer fees given they’ve sold out season tickets and raked in millions from player sales and Europe.

“They are making a fool of big Ange, who has given us all reason to believe again. The current squad will not overcome AZ.”

Caller Kevin Lord suggested Hibs were best focusing on the league rather than the Europa Conference. But John Scott, Grassmoor, said: “What an attitude. Hibs should be embarrassed by the way we went out in Croatia. Build our status by finishing third in Scotland with £2m to buy better players. Way to go Kevin. Not bad for a club whose fans continually berate the board for lack of ambition.”
