Rangers Special One emerges from the chaos as Hotline obliterates Mickey Mouse jibes from Celtic snipers

Rangers made Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce look anything but special as they put one foot in the Europa League quarter finals.

But while the Portuguese warned the Ibrox side not to celebrate just yet, there was no holding back the Bears on the Hotline after another sparkling night on the continent. Gordon Ferguson, Kilwinning, said: “Out of the chaos emerges Rangers’ own Special One. A masterclass that Fergie would have been proud of. Fenerbahce were well and truly stuffed in Turkey. Let’s roast them in the second leg and keep Scotland flying in Europe again.”

Joe Graham, Garrowhill, said: “What else can you say about this European Rangers side? They were magnificent again. Why can’t they play like this in the domestic league? Silverware is still on the cards this season.”

Gordon Hendry, Ochiltree, added: “Great result for the Gers but we all appreciate it's only half time. The big difference was the change in formation by Barry Ferguson which worked a treat, allied with two of our strongest central defenders in Souttar and Balogun and Butland having one of his better games even although he poleaxed Propper.”

And George Wilson emailed: “We will inevitably hear from the Celtic camp that Rangers are playing in the Diddy or Mickey Mouse Cup against nobodies. Man Utd, Spurs, Lyon, Nice and Fenerbahce are at least the equal to some of the dross Celtic played in Champions League and Fenerbahce were unbeaten in 18 games and one of the favourites for the Europa League. Playing in Scotland against some of the dross with nine or 10 in defence doesn’t suit Rangers. Playing against better quality teams who actually try to play football is easier for us.”

Celtic fan Eddie Easson, Ballingry, said: “I never watch Rangers play
