Lifeless Celtic are risking EVERYTHING as frightened Hotline heavy hitter breaks rank to pin it on 'Mr Clueless'

Both Rangers and Celtic picked up wins at the weekend but the mood emanating from the camps could hardly be more contrasting.

At Ibrox, Hotline punters reckon they're onto a winner on the transfer front with Fabio Silva and Mohamed Diomande already in the door - and Oscar Cortes and Jefte in the works before Thursday's deadline. John Davidson, Kirkintilloch, said: "Rangers are well and truly hitting the January sales, looking very promising on the southside. On the other hand the biscuit tin is empty in the east end, gave away to many presents over the festive period. Only 2 points in the title race, here we go for the second half of the season."

So far Clement seems to be doing the business and excited John Bruce said: "Back in October, Rangers fans were excited by Philippe Clement's arrival, because he had won titles and cups with different teams in a respected European league. But if you had said to any Rangers fan that, come January, we would already have won the League Cup; only be five points behind Celtic in the league with a game in hand; be favourites to win the Scottish Cup; and be three ties away from playing in the Europa League final - all with Michael Beale's squad - you probably wouldn't have been believed.

"So it's no surprise to see why every Rangers fan is so excited to see what Philippe Clement will do, now that he has new signings - with others, apparently, to follow."

Andrew Lamb, Fraserburgh, said: "Player by player, Clement gradually eradicating all traces of the doomed Beale era. Cifuentes was frankly ordinary, and I suspect both Cantwell and Dowell to be gone by the summer, along with many others."

Cifuentes isn't quite gone yet though and Scott Gowers, Edinburgh, hasn't fully given up on him.
