Rangers wind up merchant sparks Celtic barrage as punters fume over Champions League barb – Hotline

Hotline regular George Wilson has put more than a few noses out of joint with his assessment of Celtic's chances in this season's Champions League. Cue a barrage of calls to take issue with his remarks and there were a few compliments for Dundee United's Euro win over AZ Alkmaar.

Michael Edmunds, Northampton, said: "Mr Wilson says he’s got the “comedy Celtic in Europe road show” to look forward to, that would be the Champions League of course that Celtic go straight into because we won the league. We won it by winning more games, winning more points, scoring more goals, conceding fewer goals than his team who have to go through the qualifier. To top it off we have Cameron Carter-Vickers, the best centre half in the Premiership, some carthorse Mr Wilson."

Charles Buchanan emailed: "Why do the Rangers fans on the Hotline keep going on about Celtic's performances in Europe? Do they not remember last season they fell at the first hurdle against Malmo in the Champions League qualifier and then dropped into the Europa League and scraped through 1-0 over two rounds against little known Alashkert."
