Astonishing Rangers arrogance sets Hotline ablaze as Celtic cynics in stitches over Graeme Souness fascination
New Rangers boss Philippe Clement continues to be the main talking point on the Hotline and, as usual, there are differing opinions on how far he can his new charges. Scott Kerr, Knightswood, said: "Alan Flett says if Clement gets it right there isn't a club in Scottish football that can live with a strong Rangers team - talk about being delusional. Celtic are and always will be top dogs in Scotland." Martin McGarrigle emailed: "Alan Flett is back again with that typical Rangers arrogance based on diddly squat. Since 2012, this Rangers side have won a Covid title during a Celtic meltdown, and since fans have been back in the stadium it's been business as usual, with the Celtic winning machine purring along quietly winning trophy after trophy. Who is he kidding? I think they should just rebrand again - Delusion F.C since 2012." Robert McEwan, Mount Vernon, said: "I see Barry Ferguson talking up Clement as a guy who doesn't suffer fools gladly because he stood up to Souness. No matter how tough you are, is it going to make that squad better? Doubt it. " Neil Renton, Leith, said: "I don’t know why Barry Ferguson is so excited about Graeme Souness being involved in the recruitment of new Rangers boss Philippe Clement. While Souness did well at Ibrox that was decades ago. At least we’ll know to blame the former telly pundit for their input when things go wrong."
