The comedians were out in force so before we get onto the serious stuff let’s give a couple of them centre stage on the Hotline . Neil Renton, Edinburgh , said: “I’m dying to know more about the sales pitch keeper Jack Butland got from Rangers manager Michael Beale.
I think it went along the lines of ‘Join Rangers and you’ll never need to face a penalty.’“ And Gary Stevenson, Newtonhill, asked: “Does anyone know where I can purchase around 5,000 inflatable Kangaroos?” Laugh?
I nearly started. A few Celtic fans will chuckle at Joe Graham’s assertion as well. The Garrowhill Rangers fan said: “I am one of many Rangers supporters who didn’t want Ange Postecoglou to leave Celtic.
I was so looking forward to the head to head battle with our Michael Beale starting from scratch. It was obvious the lure to manage a top six team in the English Premier League and the salary that goes with it was probably the deciding factor.
