The calm before the storm of a new season approaching doesn't apply to a Hotline which remains a hurricane of Scottish football debate.
Some fans have had a pop at the recruitment at Rangers while there's also a call from someone claiming Kyogo is going to be a Celtic bench warmer during the upcoming campaign. Kenny Wilson, Moffat, said: "I’m all for fans having optimism but listening to some Rangers fans you would think the league is over already. Just because they’ve signed a few players no one has heard of does not make them favourites for the league. Celtic are rightly overwhelming favourites with a team of tried and tested serial winners and are going to be even stronger than last season. I keep hearing 56 is coming but more realistically that’s the total amount of points they’ll get."
Paul McArdle, Gourock, said: "You know a club and their support are absolutely broken when they crow that their new doctor could be the signing of the summer. Celtic sold their fourth choice keeper Conor Hazard for £150k more than Rangers got for world superstars Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent combined. They should call themselves the Gumtree Galacticos."
