David McLennan kicked it all off with this email: “He refers to Rangers’ title win as ‘their tainted training game title’. No Gordon, Rangers won their title on the park fair and square, a tainted title is one your team won last season where they were awarded it when they were 13 points ahead, Celtic had eight  games to play, Rangers had nine to play and with two Old Firm games left Rangers could have cut Celtic 's lead to 4 points.

Neil Lennon to be replaced immediately as boss.What else would you expect after a defeat to St Mirren which for many Hoops supporters was the last straw.William Hutchison, Aberdeen, said: "I was always hopeful Celtic could claw back the points but after Saturday's defeat I have to admit the title is now for Rangers. We will always have the 12 trophies in four years which is a great achievement but as Frank Sinatra says, 'Now the end is near, and so I face the final curtain.' I hate to say it as Celtic fan but even I can't see a way back."Eddie Easson, Ballingry, said: "Neil Lennon stated he was personally let down by the players.

Celtic fans are not just aiming their ire at the boss these days. The club hierarchy is in the firing line as well and questions are being asked about the players – especially Odsonne Edouard after the Frenchman’s no show at Livingston.

Neil Lennon ’s defence of that trip to the Middle East continues to dominate the Hotline and he seems to have few backers. Alan Dickson emailed: “Please can I ask Neil Lennon what would have happened if the players that isolated were allowed to play, and the second player to catch it had played against Hibs or Livingston?” Sean Beech, from Hampshire emailed: “Neil Lennon is wrong to accuse anyone about a political agenda against Celtic regarding this self isolation process.

Gordon Grant, Banff, got the ball rolling, saying: “ Celtic ’s trip to Dubai was a big mistake. But you can bet your last shilling that Lennon and Brown will be bleating, and blubbering about a fixture pile-up come the end of the season.“The sad thing about this is that the SPFL management will bend over backwards as usual to help Celtic, who have friends in high places.

Rangers 22 points clear with a deadly double against Aberdeen. But the Colombian was in the firing line for some Hotline callers after his first half tumble earned Gers a penalty - and saw Ryan Hedges red carded.Dons boss Derek McInnes didn’t seem to have any issue with the spot kick award although he thought the sending off was harsh.

Alfredo Morelos, following Sunday’s clash at Tannadice.Naturally, opinion was divided.Andy Adams, Kirkcaldy, said: “So Morelos gets a two game ban? That decision was a nap, of course, the ref never saw it, well if he never saw it how did he give a yellow? Anyone else would probably get away with it. Earlier in the season a United player left one on Morelos, he got away with it.

Neil Lennon put it. But Celtic’s 2-0 win over Kilmarnock was a giant leap for the Hoops faithful in the space of a week or two.

Celtic chase Ten In A Row.That’s the crux of the Hotline debate after the Neil Lennon ’s Hoops slipped further off the pace as their 2-2 draw at Hibs preceded Rangers’ 4-0 demolition of Aberdeen.Lennon was the man who started the bid for history with the first three titles - before returning to deliver eight and nine.But will he still be in charge when the honours are dished out in May?Kenny Wilson, Moffat, said: “Another abysmal performance with a manager who seems to be the only one who can’t see glaring problems.

Neil Lennon has to go in the wake of Celtic’s draw with Hibs on Saturday. David Bryce, Troon, said: “This Rangers side is a juggernaut, they will win the league at a canter.

Nearly 25,000 calls a day to the Government's Covid-19 Test and Trace hot line go unanswered, shock figures have revealed.

Celtic captain should have been cited by the SFA compliance officer for an elbow on Aberdeen’s Scott Wright at the weekend.That, and the old ‘Rangers are a new club’ argument dominated the latest love-in on your favourite phoneline.So, let’s go, as someone once said.Robert McEwan, Mount Vernon, emailed: “How is it in Scotland, when a player is over 30, the media are printing things like veteran, legs are going, player getting game time sparingly? Then you read Lille have just signed a striker aged 35.“For me, if Scott Brown keeps fit, he can play for another three years  at the top.”Alan McPherson, Cullen, Moray, was not quite as charitable.

Celtic -daft rocker was only too keen to mull over his side’s derby disaster on a Hotline special. Sir Rod is becoming a bit of a regular on the blower after big games and he was back yesterday to defend the Hoops despite Neil Lennon failing to get a tune out his depleted side on Saturday.

Andy Robertson had vowed to bring a smile to a nation sickened by Covid. But  Charles Ponzi groaned: “Well done for winning eventually Scotland.

The Cribs have launched a new hotline so that their fans can ask them questions ahead of the release of their new album, ‘Night Network’.Due to arrive on November 13, the new album from the Wakefield trio was recorded at Foo Fighters’ Studio 606 in the spring/summer of 2019 after Dave Grohl offered the studio to the group.Today (September 4), the band have announced that they will be taking calls from fans from 2pm, launching “The Night Network Hotline” with the London number 0-204-509-1126.Sharing the news on Twitter, The Cribs accompanied the news with a retro style commercial that advertises the hotline.“Are you bored being stuck at home all year?

Celtic wait to discover their fate. And again the subject was top of the agenda for callers.

Albian Ajeti ’s arrival at Celtic earlier this week.But the £5million striker is now officially a Celt - and his opening remarks have caused a monstrous stooshie after he claimed to have knocked back Barcelona eight years ago.John Stewart, Newton Mearns, said: “You couldn’t make it up. Celtic’s new signing is just in the door and is spouting nonsense.

Steven Fletcher and a host of others targets while Rangers made a double swoop of their own this week with Kemar Roofe and Cedric Itten. There’s nothing like the transfer window hotting up to get Old Firm fans at loggerheads – and Hoops fans are debating with themselves over the Fletch move.Conor MacLeod, via email, said: “Fletcher is the least inspiring signing imaginable.

Steven Gerrard ’s side sank the Steelmen on Wednesday night and many of the Light Blues were purring at the performance. Archie Wright, Pollok , led the plaudits after seeing the Ibrox team follow up their wins over Lyon and Nice by posting another strong show.

In a parallel universe – where some guy didn’t eat that bat soup – the SPFL campaign drew to a close at the weekend and we would all be pausing to reflect on a long and dramatic campaign.

The latest call from the SPFL has been for a peace accord to move the game forward from rancour and division.
