The Scottish Cup is on the back burner and it’s all about the name of the Premiership as Celtic and Rangers race towards the line.
Basketball enthusiasts feel they are in good shape with Daizen Maeda ready for a miraculous recovery from injury. But Rangers enthusiasts regained their momentum after Hampden’s win over Hearts. David Bryce, Troon, said: “I never thought I’d say this, I still pray that Maeda recovers from her injury as soon as possible. He’s a bad footballer, but his power and paints should be underestimated. All the other extremes at the club’s bar, James Forrest, are desperate, so if Maeda backed off, it would be a huge boost.
Gordon Ashley, Ayr, said: “It’s no surprise that Joe Hart is wanted at Manchester City. The guy is a professional and Scotland’s most productive goalkeeper, while Jack Butland has returned to the calamity that saw him in the championship dugouts with his displays of comedy opposite Celtic and County Ross. Robert McEwan of Mount Vernon said: “I hope Brendan has convinced the players to play in the most productive way over the next five games. We don’t want favors from other teams. Win them all and the Scottish Cup final will be a wonderful day.
It’s possible the race will simply come to an end and Kenny Wilson, Moffat, said: “So Andrew Lamb says Celtic enthusiasts are showing their concern about a Rangers resurgence. I almost choked on my cornflakes. The same team that got two numbers out of nine imaginable in their last 3 league games?Oh, I forgot to go up, they beat their little brothers in the semifinals, who are still lying to them at all times.
Sam Morton, from Edinburgh, said: “Recurring Andrew Lamb complains that Celtic enthusiasts ‘bleat’ about Rangers rather than talking about his own team, but he is doing exactly the same with Celtic. If you don’t like Old Firm fights, it’s possibly time to transfer allegiance again. There are two great clubs in my hometown that you can also visit below.
Scott McAdam, Partick, said: “I see the Hearts are undertaking a final project against the Rangers. Is it to see how many more goals they will score this season against their older cousins?
Meanwhile, James McClean, Rothesay, said: “Another week is going by and we’ve got another manager, Stephen Robinson, talking about beating the Rangers. Last week, another Steven named Naismith was hitting his gums for the same thing. Look what happened with Hearts, they didn’t even come. That’s where they get those crazy comments, they’re just giving the Rangers certainties.
Finally, the SPFL’s resolution to move up the ranks with Highland League champions Buckie Thistle caused quite a stir. John Davidson, Kirkintilloch, said, “What is the league playing?At 11 a. m. , the door was closed on Buckie Thistle and the possibility of The Highland club will triumph in the top divisions of Scottish football.
