Dave King is 'behind you' but not in the way gullible Rangers think as Hotline rips into an Ibrox panto

Rangers need to shuffle the pack in the boardroom with John Bennett stepping down as chairman – with Dave King waiting in the wings.

The South African-based former chief famously predicted Celtic would be the ones collapsing like a deck of cards and Hoops fans on the Hotline would certainly welcome him back to the table.

Eddie McCaffery, Lennoxtown, said: “I see it's pantomime season over at Rangers, with the return of the King of clubs and his deck of cards.” Eddie Easson, Ballingry, said: “I sincerely hope John Bennett gets better soon. The chaos at Ibrox would make anyone ill. There is a manager who loves the sound of his own voice and players who think they are better than they really are, plus a gullible support that believes everything that comes out of Ibrox.”

On the pitch, Rangers got the win they needed at Tannadice on Sunday. Joe Graham, Garrowhill, said: “The important thing for Rangers was to get the three points and that was easily achieved despite the 1-0 scoreline. The introduction of Clement's newcomers looks promising for Rangers to charge on now with a decent challenge for this year's title. Celtic supporters may think they are favourites but it is early doors. A lot can happen so beware Bhoys as the new Rangers are coming.”

But Jamie Thompson, Yoker, said: “These Rangers players need to get a grip with this playing out from the back. Jack Butland and the defender are making too many mistakes. The Rangers board needs to replace Clement and the rest. Celtic are the best of the worst in Scottish football.”

Speaking of callers from Yoker, Celtic’s VAR flashpoints in their win against Hearts have sparked a debate.
