Rangers fans seethe over Brendan Rodgers claim as Hotline regular in fits of laughter at Celtic comedy show

Brendan Rodgers is back in favour with most Celtic fans following his impressive address at the end of last week.

Andrew Lamb, Fraserburgh, said: “Much noise emanating from Parkhead these days regarding what they're going to be doing. To quote Rodgers, we'll see you next May Brendan.” Joe Graham, Garrowhill, said: “I had a real good laugh at the comments made from Rodgers.
