Green eyed Rangers diehards seethe at Ibrox shambles but it's not all smiles for Hotline Celtic punters

Celtic's lack of action in the transfer market and Rangers’ lack of progress in getting Ibrox ready for the new season meant there was no lack of fuel to fire the Hotline .

Gers fans are furious at the stadium cock-up, which will see at least the first month of their campaign spent away from home. And rival fans got their tuppence worth in too. Eddie Easson, Ballingry, said: “Celtic shares going through the roof, Rangers struggling to put a roof on. The green-eyed monsters in here cannot admit that their club is a shambles. CEO James Bisgrove jumps ship. A club that are haemorrhaging money left, right and centre with little or no tangible assets. I hope they get a refund from Temu for a late delivery of the steel.”

Stewart Allison emailed: “I have to say, as a season-ticket holder, what a shambles at my club. Passing the buck to a CEO who’s left the club. The board need to get their act together.” But Mark McManus said: “I see James Bisgrove is getting the blame of the current ground fiasco. Surely Mr Bisgrove did not keep the issues to himself with no discussions had at board meetings. It also amazes me that it had only just recently come to light. If that’s the case, then it highlights the poor running of a club and a company that’s been in downfall since 2012. Shoddy at best.”

On to transfers now and George Wilson, West Sussex, had a pop at a Hotline regular when he said: “Rangers statistician and Celtic financial advisor Gordon Ashley is forever telling us Celtic have about £50million in the bank at present. Could he tell us when they are going to spend some of it as they seem to be struggling to afford £6m for Adam Idah or Paulo Bernardo or indeed anybody else. At least the authorities have changed the rules
