Rangers fans are on the deludamol this Christmas but Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers told when his goose will be cooked - Hotline
Festive spirit. Not on the Hotline. It’s just constant bickering. Peace and goodwill to nobody.
Celtic lead the title race by nine points from Rangers, but their draw against Dundee United at the weekend has put the prospect of a proper battle onto the agenda for some. And not others. John J Scott, Port Glasgow, said: “Graham Taylor tells us that Rangers have reeled in Aberdeen and now they would reel in Celtic. Aberdeen reeled themselves in by having a very bad two months. Let’s ask the obvious question. How many times have Rangers beaten Aberdeen this season? I’ll give you a clue it’s less than one.”
Glen Mitchell said: “So the Ibrox team wins a dour home match against a bottom-half team and they are now back in the title race. Celtic dropped two points to make it four all season so far, away against a top-half team. The Deludamol is really flowing as usual. Let’s see how the Ibrox team gets on in the next two away matches before it comes fully unstuck in their next home match.”

Sean McGarvey, Cumbernauld, said: “Could someone, anyone, remind me who won the cup and are the top of the league? After a draw, it’s the same old, same old from the south side strugglers. Give your heads a wobble for God sake. The amount of times us serial winners hear this nonsense from you.”
Denis Bruce, Bishopbriggs, said: “The crunch game at Ibrox could be the cauldron where the Celtic goose is well and truly cooked. If the Govan team gets a positive result, that would put fire in Rangers’ bellies while a failure of nerve on the Eastenders part could see Rodgers’ record against Rangers wrecked. Make no mistake, this game is pivotal.”
Peter Lyons, Blantyre, said: “Just like to say to Scott Gowers and the Joker from Yoker. Your bedside alarm will go off soon regards dreaming of a title win. The real 55 will be secured on Jan 2nd as has the 119 for the most successful club.”
Celtic’s work was discussed as Paul McCormack, Coatbridge, said: “Outside of Leipzig and the first 45 minutes Ross County the drop off in form from first 11 players recently is a concern.
"No matter how many times they give the ball away or miss chance after chance they seem to start week in week out, looks like injury is the only way out of the starting line up for some, a starting jersey does not seem be based on current form.”
Dr Robert S Pender said: “So they were hooting it up at darts after they were gifted the cup. Just a little word in the ear of their captain, you are getting so arrogant, the bubble will burst, just look at Manchester City.”
Since the conversation was taken back to a game which was over a week ago, Gary Stevenson, Newtonhill, said: “I would like to apologise on behalf of Rangers for actually even mentioning the fact that the referee and VAR got it wrong in the Cup Final. I mean, come on had that happened to Celtic they wouldn’t even have mentioned it. So come on Rangers. Be more like Celtic and show respect to everyone.”
Chris Lowe, Yoker, said: “Have the SFA and Willie Collum earned nothing after last week’s not so honest mistake, or are they just trolling Rangers with the officials appointments over festive games?"
Scott McAdam, Glasgow, said: “So big Phil the magician wants to do some digging. Well he better go to B&Q and buy a shovel if he has a garden. While he’s there, he will see plenty of decisions in his club's favour for years.”
Ahead of the Hearts against Hibs clash, Davy Cook, Edinburgh, said: “I think Mr Renton has opened his Xmas crackers early with the joke about Hibs going for third. Or maybe he has been on the Xmas sherry, let’s see who will be celebrating on Boxing Day.”
