There are no trophies handed out in pre-season but Celtic fans feel confident they have had the better build up to this week’s big kick-off.
Celtic fans aren't buying the optimism of the Rangers support as the Ibrox summer spending spree continues. But some of the Parkhead faithful are getting a bit twitchy about the lack of signings heading towards the East End of the city. Kenny Wilson, Moffat, said: "In response to Robert Livingstone’s comments I’m not ready to agree Rangers will be stronger this season yet as the season hasn’t started yet and no one has played a meaningful game. Buying players does not automatically make you better, only time will tell but hopefully you will be stronger. It's become very boring with the season finished in February every season. One thing I will say is it’s about time Celtic spent some money - even with all the money they have they still seem to be penny pinching." Neil Renton, Leith, said: "There’s about as much chance of Parkhead blasting out ‘Simply The Best’ before a game than there is of Celtic paying £30 million to get Kieran Tierney back from Arsenal. Brendan Rodgers says ‘never say never’ when it comes to football. I can confidently say the club will never spend that much money on one player." Arrin Geddes, Irvine, said: "I bet Alan Flett wishes his club could do a fraction of Celtic’s ‘bargain basement’ business because if they don’t get the Champions League money the begging letters will surely be sent out. Most of the season ticket money has been spent on unknown quantities, not superstars. Two friendlies in and he’s ready to take on Liverpool again!!"
Pre-season friendlies meaningless? Try telling that to Hotline callers. The reaction to Celtic’s 6-4 defeat to Yokohama F Marinos this week has bordered on hysterical with the memory of last season’s Treble evaporating quicker than spilt Sake in the Osaka sunshine.
You can imagine the shock that swept round Record Sport towers this morning as for a brief moment it appeared peace had broken out on the Hotline.
They don’t call the summer transfer window ‘silly season’ for nothing and some of the opinions on the Hotline in recent days have had callers in hysterics. Celtic penny pinching, Brendan Rodgers gone by Christmas, Michael Beale’s business at Rangers dubbed “comedy gold” ... it’s open season for punters wanting to take cheap shots as we wait for the real stuff to start.
The calm before the storm of a new season approaching doesn't apply to a Hotline which remains a hurricane of Scottish football debate.
Celtic fans are starting to look on the bright side when it comes to Jota’s departure for the Middle East – such as the wads of cash they’ll get in return.
