Harry Kewell has Rangers diehards in hysterics as Celtic coach told to take Euro history lesson - Hotline

It's silly season in the transfer window .. and even dafter season on the Hotline as the summer shenanigans over titles, European hopes and new signings abound.

New Celtic coach Harry Kewell reckons the Hoops are going to be a “handful” in the Champions League. But George Wilson, West Sussex, said: “Couldn’t stop laughing when I read Harry Kewell’s comment. He obviously hasn’t seen their performances and results in various European competitions over the years. Celtic are and have been a total laughing stock in Europe for years. They reached the UEFA Cup final in 2003 but have done nothing else which is why we regularly have their supporters on here having to go back 55 years when they won the now defunct European Cup. They will be out of Europe again by Christmas.”

Liam Birney, Paisley, shot back at caller Jimmy Murray who claimed last season’s Hoops double was no big deal. Liam said: “Does Jimmy's envy and jealousy regarding Celtic have no limits. He's said that Celtic's league and cup win was no big deal. Would that be the league that took tens of thousands of his fellow Rangers fans onto the streets of Glasgow twice the season before last? As for the backroom staff, thanks for your input but their record is unparalleled in UK football with trophies win!”

Meanwhile Gordon Ashley, Ayr, defended Celtic full-back Josip Juranovic over claims he wasn’t worth the Hoops’ £15m valuation. Gordon said: “Yesterday’s deluded caller has just lost any credibility Rangers fans had left by claiming our full back who is keeping a full back they rated at £25m out of the Croatia team with his weaker foot, isn’t worth £15m. This kind of fairytale thinking is exactly the reason they will get less than half of the money they dream of
