Celtic fans were delighted with their display against St Mirren but Celtic fans reckon Aberdeen’s thrashing at Tynecastle prove the Dons only raise their game against the Ibrox club.
That was the essence of another lively Hotline, so let’s get to it. David Bryce, Troon, emailed: “Celtic were, in the main, excellent against a decent St Mirren side. Kyogo was back to his best and Yuki had a good debut. I think Ange must play Turnbull more, he’s a class act and, in my eyes, along with Hatate, our best midfielder. He looked annoyed when he scored the goal. If we don’t play him more, we’ll lose him , and he’s a precocious talent.”
Eddie Easson, Ballingry, Fife said: “A routine victory for the Celtic juggernaut cranking up the goal difference. Rangers scraping by against 10 men. Rangers hoping the wheels are going to fall off. Celtic still bringing in new blood, Rangers recycling and trying to get a tune out of past their sell by stars.” Arrin Geddes, Irvine, said: “The champions stroll to a four-goal win while Rangers huff and puff to another single goal win against 10 men. St Mirren’s attitude to the game was refreshing and the contrast to the teams parking the bus made for a great game. Other teams should be trying to raise their quality, not sit in for 90 minute. This Celtic team has the answers either way, so why not have a go?”
