Stephen Johnstone, Ardentinny , stated: "Rangers have extra likelihood of promoting Alfredo Morelos and the remainder of their gamers down the Barras than the open market. In my thoughts they're lame geese as a consequence of their lack of progress within the switch window and if I had been a playing man I might put cash on them to complete outdoors the highest two."
Jake Curley, Edinburgh , stated: "Evidently the remainder of Scottish soccer needn’t trouble turning up for the brand new season as Celtic have sewn up the title already. Pleasure comes earlier than a fall and the pomposity over Ange Postecoglou is unbearable."
William Hutchison, Aberdeen , stated: "Hotline caller Gary Stevenson claimed Celtic solely signal gamers on mortgage and free transfers will need to have forgotten in regards to the thousands and thousands spent on Cameron Carter Vickers, Jota, Alexandro Bernabi and Daizen Maeda, altogether we have now spent £18million. His foremost query needs to be about what gamers Rangers are bringing in and the way a lot they're keen to spend?"
Gordon Ashley, Ayr, stated: That is rather more prefer it from Celtic with prime signings coming in and extra to come back, our squad is trying like being the strongest and most settled it ever has in my lifetime. There will probably be no repeat of the mess at first of final season the place we gave Rangers an enormous head begin."
Kenny Wilson, Moffat, stated: "I ponder if Celtic will ever win the league and be one of the best staff. If it’s not due to having referees in our favour, it’s Covid or different groups mendacity right down to us. Rangers followers are getting the justifications in early this season and clearly panicking as they’ve not made any mortgage signings so as to add to their Dad's Military squad."
Henry Moffat, Stirling, stated: "What a load of determined nonsense from Rangers followers on the Hotline. Whereas the champions have been celebrating a double and Champions League soccer, they've been left bleating paranoid garbage about referees and our European cup win whereas they watch us splash the large bucks. They know there will probably be no 9 level head begin this 12 months and they're terrified."

"My solely rationalization for Neil's remark is that he will need to have been sitting in a draughty space within the stadium. To match Ibrox with Celtic Park is like evaluating Lesser Hampden with Wembley. I can solely surmise that when Neil made such feedback he will need to have been out on a pub crawl."
Leigh Griffiths is looking out for a brand new membership, and one man is properly suited to get one of the best out of him in line with Tom Paterson, Falkirk: "I feel Derek McInnes ought to tackle the problem of finding out Griffiths and giving him one final likelihood."
