Matt O'Riley Celtic Champions League claim causes Hotline hilarity as Rangers 'natural order' cry ridiculed

Matt O'Riley's belief that Celtic could win the Champions League was lost a bit in translation as it was couched with an admission it wasn't beyond the realms of possibility.

That hasn't stopped some Hotline callers taking the Hoops star at his word and it's certainly lightened the mood of some fans. Alfie Mullin, London, said: "We keep hearing Celtic managers, players and fans saying they do their talking on the pitch. Why then is delusional O'Riley saying Celtic are going to win the Champions League? They've got more chance of winning the Grand National or Wimbledon, than winning the Champions League."

Rab Picken said: "The Insanity of a one season wonder O'Riley saying Celtic could win the Champions League. Maybe he thinks they have a chance if John Kennedy becomes the new manager. He's certainly given me a laugh." Henry Moffat, Stirling, said: "It's very important Celtic don't award this position to a rookie manager as this is our most important season for decades. One more trophy will see us overtake Rangers in their dubious claim to have won 116 trophies plus one shared. We need to win 117 unshared trophies which will see their claim put to bed once and for all so a manager with experience is a must."
