Antonio Colak is bumping his gums over Rangers but trophyless season will be abject disaster - Hotline

Celtic may be charging towards a domestic Treble on the back of a 26-game unbeaten domestic run but rivals were in bullish mood when talking up their chances of halting the Hoops this week.

Hearts keeper Zander Clark reckons they can take confidence from their 3-1 defeat at Parkhead on Wednesday to have a real go at the champions in this afternoon’s Scottish Cup quarter final. And Antonio Colak says Rangers’ “amazing” performance against Hibs midweek has shown they are capable of levels which can take them to “big dominance” in the future.

However, Charles Buchanan emailed: “So Zander Clark says a repeat performance against Celtic in the cup could send Hearts to Hampden. I think Joe Hart had one save to make on Wednesday. Yes Hearts had moments in the game but we had two fullbacks that hadn't kicked a ball for a long time. And left out key players. They will all be back for cup. Semi final here we come.”

Eddie Easson, Ballingry, said: “Now it's Colak bumping his gums. Let's be frank and honest if Rangers end up with no trophies this will be an abject disaster. If Celtic beat Rangers in the next two league games they could be 15 clear at the end of the season. Not only a disaster but an embarrassment.”

Meanwhile Robbie Neilson looks to have escaped any SFA charge over his decapitation claims at Celtic Park. But Hotline callers are convinced it should be a case of ‘off with his head’ for his remarks.

Harry Fitzpatrick called from Ontario, Canada, to say: “Can you imagine if Neil Lennon was making the claims Neilson is making week in and week out? What happened to the old days when the compliance officer would take action? Then we have VAR, every goal Celtic score is scrutinised, Maeda’s goal was at least a yard onside
