Celtic transfers are an optical illusion and ice cool Gio van Bronckhorst will roll the Rangers dice - Hotline

Rangers fans are waiting to see some ins and outs at Ibrox while Celtic have already been busy in the market.

But some in the Light Blues legions are refusing to panic as they reckon their squad is still better than anything Ange Postecoglou can muster. Rangers have injured stars coming back and one caller is convinced his men would have their hands on the Europa League if they had been available in Seville.

Ian McKay, Falkirk, said: “Celtic have signed a back-up goalkeeper and a left back. The other signings played last season. Rangers have John Souttar, who knows the Scottish game. Alfredo Morelos and Ianis Hagi, to an extent Ryan Jack and Kemar Roofe, and possibly even Niko Katic, will be like new signings. If they all stayed fit I believe Rangers would have won the Europa League and retained the Scottish Premiership. Rangers still have the better squad. If any of the big three or four leave then replace them with the fees obtained. There should be no panic at Ibrox.”

John Bruce, Glasgow, said: “It looks like the Celtic manager has showed his hand early and spent all his chips, whilst Gio has kept his poker face with his eye on the long game. He will have a couple of aces he can use, once the pack has been shuffled, then he can build up a very strong hand. Who would bet against Gio winning the jackpot?”

Gary Stevenson, Newtonhill, said: “Celtic supporters spent last year avoiding the topic of European football as they were an embarrassment. They turned their attention to Sydney super cups and the Premiership, avoiding Rangers results in Europe. Now they want to discuss is European football? Nothing has changed. Every club in Europe wants Celtic in their group as it's an easy three points.”
