It's supermarket sweep time in Scottish football transfer market and Rangers and Celtic fans reckon their rivals are off their trollies with some of the signings. Parkhead punters have been stung by suggestions they are splashing the cash while light blue legions are in the bargain aisle.
Arrin Geddes, Irvine, said: “John Bruce seems to be getting upset about Celtic’s financial muscle, eclipsing every other team bar none. But Celtic are in the position to spend because of a sound business model. Solid finances and clever player trading go a long way.” John Melrose, Edinburgh, said: “John Bruce’s fake enthusiasm on the Hotline every day is fooling nobody but himself. They have lost their best player for peanuts and face the other two running down their contracts. They were totally outclassed the other night by a Sunderland team who finished fifth in League One last season.”
Ciaran Mallon, Belfast, said: “I had to laugh at the dumb and dumbers on the Hotline criticising Celtic for spending big to secure the players that helped us win the league last year. The fact is this team gave their lot a head start before overtaking them at the top of the league by taking them to school at Parkhead in February and all but winning the league at Ibrox in early April.”
