Wake up Wullie Graham, Sir Rod Stewart has something to say to you! Fans of Scotland’s three UEFA representatives might not wanna talk about it, but the pop icon had plenty to get off his chest about last week’s Euro horror show.
Sir Rod was compelled to call in to the Hotline after reading Saturday’s contribution from Bristol caller Wullie, who thinks we are sailing towards the European abyss after a dreadful week for our teams on the continent. Sir Rod said: “Dear Wully Graham from Bristol, I feel I must jump to the defence of Scottish teams in Europe.
“I’m sure you are aware that Scottish teams have punched above their weight for decades. Scotland’s football economy is slim to say the least. Let’s look at the squad values - Real Madrid’s £328million against Celtic’s £28million. Ajax’s team is worth £102million compared to Rangers’ £14million. This gulf in wealth obviously means that the elite of Europe can buy the best players and there lies the difference.
