Celtic diehards have a title party anyway as Rangers claim sees Ally McCoist suffer uncompromising Hotline pasting

Ianis Hagi ensured Celtic’s title champagne remains on ice until after the split thanks to his last gasp leveller for Rangers against Aberdeen.

But happy Hoops on the Hotline were still in party mood after seeing their side dismantle Kilmarnock 5-1 to move to within a point of their 55th league crown. A blistering opening 24 minutes on Saturday saw Brendan Rodgers players race into a 4-0 lead against the Ayrshiremen.

And Kenny Wilson, Moffat, said: “That was more like Celtic in the first half, blowing Killie away and scoring some great goals. Another title all but in the bag and the celebrations can begin and something proper to celebrate. Unlike a 0-0 draw at home that some Rangers fans think is worth celebrating. Even though they took the mickey out of Celtic for celebrating a draw away to Atalanta in the Champions League.”

Gordon Ashley, Ayr, said: “Celtic are on course for one of our greatest seasons ever. Rangers fans can deflect all they want with their Mickey Mouse cup games, they are not good enough to challenge us domestically and cannot qualify or win a point at our level in Europe.”

Greg Taylor was the pick of the bunch for Celtic against his former side - and showed just why Rodgers is still trying to convince him to sign a new deal. Stephen Mulhern, Dumbarton, said: “Greg Taylor showed the Celtic support just what they’ll be missing with his man of the match performance. Surely the reason he pulled out of the after match press conference was in case he was quizzed on his future. I would plead with Brendan Rodgers to make a last ditch effort for him to stay. With Kieran Tierney being given more game time at Arsenal, then the worry is him picking up yet another injury that would leave us desperately short
