Rangers transfer cringe hits Hotline peak as Celtic fans tell Gumtree Galacticos the REAL Jack Butland price tag

Philippe Clement hasn’t been sparing the home truths as he prepares to take his exiled Ibrox side to Hampden.

The Light Blues boss needs to sell before he can buy, everyone is for sale bar Jack Butland and there will be no Rangers return for Abdallah Sima unless Brighton drop their asking price. No wonder the Gers faithful are down in the dumps. As for their domestic rivals, well they’re lapping up the Ibrox misery. Eddie Easson, Ballingry, said: “When will the usual protagonists on the Hotline wake up and smell the coffee. Rangers are a busted flush. They don’t have a sugar daddy backer and Clement has shown his true deluded colours when he declared they have a goalie worth £30/40 million. It could be a long season for the Belgian super coach.”

Gordon Ashley, Ayr, added: “All Premiership clubs should gather and stage an intervention with Rangers to stop them humiliating our league.

Butland’s worth £1m tops.”

Neil Renton, Leith, called to say: “I don’t think Rangers should be allowed to play at Hampden. Won’t this give them an unfair advantage when it comes to the latter
