Rangers fantasists warned Asterisk Years claim is cuckoo as gloating Celtic punters offer helpline over Hotline

Celtic are closing in on the record Rangers trophy haul after wrapping up the Premiership title and targeting the Scottish Cup in a few weeks.

The Hoops could be just one piece of silverware behind the Ibrox club soon but Hotline caller Tom Vallance managed to wind up Parkhead punters with his claim they can’t count championships won when they were out the league. Robert McEwan, Mount Vernon, hit back and said: “Another fantastic league triumph for Celtic, big Ange is right up there now. As for Asterisk Years, we can only beat the teams in front of us and we do.”

Sean Beech, Hampshire, said: “I see once more that when Rangers fans like Mr Vallance don’t like the facts they try to deflect the narrative with this Asterisk Years nonsense. Surely no one can be that delusional as to believe any league would make a footnote about a team's absence. Have the Rangers fans forgotten why they weren’t there?"
