Childish Rangers need put in their place over embarrassing SPFL row but one fan fires back – Hotline

dailyrecord.co.uk

Unbridled euphoria and harmony swept over the Hotline as Steve Clarke's warriors united a nation with their Nations League heroics against Ukraine.

Well, almost. Ryan Porteous was singled out for special praise – to the tune of £156million, in fact – after his full international debut silenced some discontented pre-match rumblings over his selection. Neil Renton, Edinburgh, said: "What a performance from Ryan Porteous against Ukraine, proving his critics wrong and the fact he’s the best Scottish centre half just now.

If Harry Maguire was bought for £78million, Porto must be worth double that." And a patriotic Stephen Johnstone, Ardentinny, added: "Scotland's defence stood as solid as the Dumbarton Rock and the front men gave us a Krakow of a game against Ukraine.

Steve Clarke 's men got pot luck with a draw and now Scotland has a Euro 2024 playoff safety net but hopefully will not need it as this present squad are as good as the Graeme Souness, Kenny Dalgleish and Joe Jordan era.
