The long goodbye has started for Rangers pair Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent but Ibrox punters reckon they will never have it so good.
The duo were not involved in the win against Celtic last weekend and boss Michael Beale is already looking to new stars such as Todd Cantwell and Nico Raskin. Now it is all about where Morelos and Kent end up, with numerous clubs around the globe touted, with sides in Turkey the latest to move into the frame.
But Gary Stevenson, Newtonhill, said: “I don’t know how I will manage to sleep at night without having to read Alfredo Morelos cryptic messages social media. I hope the supporters of his next club are ready for him. Five years, no interviews and a neglect to learn the language. A wasted talent.” Andrew Adams, Kirkcaldy, said: “ So Ryan Kent fancies Turkey before Rangers or Serie A? Fair enough, it’s his choice, he's obviously going where the money is. There’s nothing wrong with that, but he's at the biggest club he'll ever play for and the EPL is now a goner.”
It’s a low key end for players who were fan favourites, but time waits for no man – unless you are Graeme Souness. The former Gers boss has been linked with a return to his old club as director of football, but the prospect doesn’t seem to concern Celtic punters.
Kenny Wilson, Moffat, said: “As all us Celtic fans sit worrying about Beale’s rebuild now we have the rumours of Graeme Souness now coming back on top of that. Scary times indeed – not . The plus side of him coming back would be to see his face as we continue to dominate Scottish football.”
Neil Renton, Edinburgh, said: “Never mind returning as a sporting director, Graeme Souness could easily be back at Rangers as a player. Despite having gone through triple heart bypass and being 70 years old he’d be able to stroll into that midfield and get a game.”
Hearts will have Peter Haring on board for the crunch Euro clash with Aberdeen tomorrow after the midfielder managed to overturn his red card against St Mirren. But Scott Gowers, Edinburgh, said: “The SFA have opened up a can of worms by the fact Peter Haring won his appeal. Questions must be asked regarding the VAR officials involved.
“These officials should have all games involved in looked at and struck off if there appears to be a pattern. The clear and obvious mistake rule is a complete cop out when it comes to a player being able to appeal when VAR get a decision wrong, yet a team can't appeal against goals disallowed when correct or allowed when they shouldn't be. The be all and end all is correct results and fairness and not down to VAR officials deciding whether it's a clear and obvious mistake.”
Meanwhile, Celtic have lapped the rest in Scottish football but there’s another one horse race to worry about.
George Fairgrieve emailed: “Formula 1 is in need of an overhaul. Novak Djokovic didn’t win because of his racquet. Usain Bolt wasn’t Olympic champ because of his Nikes and Stephen Hendry wasn’t world champion because of his cue. However, Max Verstappen is world champion because his car is faster than the rest. Car rotation is the only way to fairly determine who is best.”
Maybe that could work in football and top scorer Kyogo could turn out for the relegation threatened teams in the remaining games...
