The countdown is on to the start of this year’s European qualifiers with Motherwell and Dundee United hoping to join Celtic, Rangers and Hearts in the group stages.
But while the 'Well, Terrors and Jambos are all looking forward to lift-off on their continental adventures, the Old Firm fans calling the Hotline are still too busy squabbling to notice the new campaign is on the horizon. Gary Stevenson, Newtonhill, got the first dig in when he said: “Well done to Celtic for winning the European Cup in 1967. I only found out yesterday as nobody ever mentions it.
“Have any of the Celtic fans got a recording in glorious technicolor as I still have an old Betamax recorder and love the old black and white films. It's hard to believe when you see Celtic get embarrassed in Europe year upon year but well done anyway. You really should mention it more often!”
