‘Rangers have more chance of qualifying for the hide and seek championships. It’s not a stadium they need, it’s a team to play in it’

game of the season. With even more new recruits sure to follow, we should be watching a very different rangers team by the end of the transfer window. Clement’s much needed – and wanted – rebuild is well and truly underway.”

Celtic haven’t just put english big guns to the sword in the States, they’ve looked good doing it. And one excited bhoy predicts they’re going to win the lot.

peter lyons, Blantyre, said: “What a magnificent showing from the champions against Chelsea. now with the close-season cup firmly locked away all is looking so bright. The youngsters looked the part when they came on too. now for the Quad.”

but Stephen Mulhern, Dumbarton, is at least more confident of a slightly more modest milestone.

He said: “Celtic’s breathtaking displays against Man City and Chelsea have given a much-needed shot in the arm for Scottish football. With the forthcoming Champions league, Celtic must have every chance of making it out of the group stages – something i wouldn’t predict in previous seasons.”

Kevin Kean, inchinnan, said: “rangers’ last win was against Dundee on May 14. Since then it’s four defeats and two draws in all matches. rangers will be fighting St Mirren for fourth place, while brendan reaches the fabled 55!”

Cantwell’s request to leave ibrox has unsurprisingly tickled Celtic fans given his liking for bold statements.

eddie gilfeather, glasgow, said: “Jimmy Mac, Glasgow, said Clement had ‘thrown Cantwell under the bus’. if you examine the VAr you’ll see Cantwell actually dived – as usual.”

paul Mccormack, coatbridge, said: “it’s the manager versus the player if he caves in. it’s le Guen v Ferguson again and it’ll be the same outcome. He’s showing a strength of character the player hasn’t got.”
