Scott Brown riles Rangers fans as Ibrox faithful flood the Hotline to give Celtic legend both barrels over derby claim

Scott Brown's comments about the Old Firm fan ban coming into effect because Rangers didn’t like Celtic fans celebrating at Ibrox went down like a lead balloon with the blue half of Hotlineland.

Alfie Mullin, London, said: “Scott Brown must love mince, because he talks it. He said Celtic fans are banned from Ibrox. Rubbish, Celtic were offered an allocation and they refused it. Then they refused to give Rangers a ticket allocation. Therefore, the lack of away fans is down to Celtic. They denied their own fans the opportunity to support their team at Ibrox in September and effectively banned Rangers fans from Celtic Park in December.” Gary Stevenson, Newtonhill, said: “Well done to Scott Brown. He probably thought after a disastrous spell at Fleetwood that nobody would be interested in his opinions. Although I am no , it seems that others are falling for it. Rewarding failure seems to be a trait of Scottish football.”

But Seamie Gallagher, Govan, said: “Is caller Allan Fleet for real? His club banned Celtic supporters for celebrating too much, and he thinks we should be locked out, while he’s allowed into my beloved Paradise. Well I’m sorry, but Rangers will have to live with the consequences of the first move. It doesn’t bother Celtic at all. We win with no one supporting us.”

George Wilson, West Sussex, said: “Rangers can still win the domestic treble and reach a European final without beating Celtic. We have already lost to them twice, but still only have a two point deficit to make up and Rangers have one trophy in the bag and three still to play for, including Europe. Celtic were out of the League
