Rangers fans seethe over Brendan Rodgers claim as Hotline regular in fits of laughter at Celtic comedy show

Brendan Rodgers is back in favour with most Celtic fans following his impressive address at the end of last week.

But Rangers fans reckon the returning gaffer’s vow to punters to see them back on the steps of Parkhead in May is doomed to failure. John Robertson, South Queensferry, said: “Rodgers came to Celtic at first when Rangers were a mess, making it barely a two horse race with one horse very lame. Sacked by Liverpool and Leicester and called an elite manager, do not make me laugh. Rangers fans do not fret, Mr Failure will achieve nothing second time around.”

John Bruce, Glasgow, said: “Rodgers told the few hundred now adoring fans – who once accused him of treachery – who turned up outside Parkhead, 'see you next May'. His arrogance has obviously blinded him to the fact that the current Rangers team is no longer managed by a former youth team coach or filled with jobbing players. The same fickle fans also think they heard him say, 'I'll be here for three years, unless I'm emptied first'. When what he really said was, 'unless I'm tempted first’.
