Celtic supporters have been reveling in pure celebration mode since the final whistle blew on Saturday’s triumphant Old Firm victory. The real party, however, kicked off at Kilmarnock on Wednesday, where a spectacular 5-0 win secured their third consecutive Premiership title in style, showcasing a performance brimming with excellence. Unsurprisingly, the exultation, splendor, and unabashed boasting from the Hoops faithful flooded the Hotline.
Lance Little, hailing from Erskine, spared no exaggeration in his jubilant sentiments, proclaiming, “Rangers fans once again deluded themselves into believing they had a top-tier team and a messianic manager. Reality hit hard when they realized they possess an average squad and an ordinary boss. Celtic reigns supreme atop the league yet again. While Rangers plunge into chaos, we revel in festivity. The banter era persists.”
Kenny Wilson of Moffat chimed in, praising the team’s five-star exhibition, singling out Matt O’Riley’s exceptional display and Adam Idah’s remarkable contribution. With this peak performance, Celtic strides confidently into the upcoming cup final, eyeing the double triumph. Dismissing doubts about Brendan Rodgers, Wilson asserted, “Once more, he has delivered.”
A commendation from Charles Maxwell via email lauded Celtic for a stellar display, both on and off the field, with exceptional gameplay, spectacular goals, and impeccable fan support without any tarnish of misconduct. Maxwell commended, “That’s how you represent the club.”
David Bryce of Troon echoed the sentiment, describing Celtic’s sublime showcase at Rugby Park as long overdue, emphasizing their championship feat. Bryce saluted Brendan Rodgers and the squad for their magnificent achievement.
Stephen Mulhern, in an email, pointed out the irony of Celtic’s peak performance against a team they stumbled against in previous encounters at Rugby Park. Mulhern attributed the victory to strategic player choices and anticipated relishing the Final with excitement.
Tam Williamson of Lanarkshire voiced bold predictions, confident in Celtic’s dominance, especially aiming a taunt at their Cup Final opponent. Conversely, Paul McCormack of Coatbridge emphasized Celtic’s proclivity for delivering on the field, labeling it as a hallmark of their success.
Arrin Geddes of Irvine highlighted Celtic’s recent triumphant streak, showcasing the team’s unmatched prowess compared to their league counterparts. Geddes relished in the champions’ victory cry once more.
Amidst these jubilant declarations, Gerry Lee emphasized the humbling reality for a boastful Rangers fan from the past, whose grand claims of dominance now face the starkness of unpredictability.
Thus, Celtic’s supporters dance in euphoria, witnessing their team’s glory unfold with every resounding victory. Their spirit buoyed by success, the Hoops faithful march on, crowned champions once more.
Gers supporters are nursing their wounds, yet optimistic that a semblance of honor can be rescued in the imminent Scottish Cup Final. Despite this glimmer of hope, the pain still lingers. Jamie Thompson from Yoker didn’t mince words: “Rangers supporters will not easily forgive the squad that stumbled against Ross County and settled for a draw with Dundee, consequently handing the league title to Celtic. Should Celtic emerge victorious in the Scottish Cup, these players would once more be deemed failures by the Rangers faithful, management, and fans alike.”
Robert Livingstone, residing in Palm Beach, pondered, “Setting aside the impending Cup Final, what transpired that derailed the Rangers’ season? The list of grievances is lengthy. Michael Beale likely shoulders much of the blame for numerous lackluster acquisitions. It’s unfair to fault Phil Clement entirely as he merely played the hand he was dealt—a losing one at that. Perhaps his desire for Lawrence Shankland was thwarted by the board’s caution, following Beale’s expensive £14 million blunders that ultimately serenaded the league away.”
In an email sent by Ian Renton, the lackluster first-half display against Dundee on Tuesday drew sharp criticism: “Rangers’ performance was woeful. One can only surmise that Clement displayed a team sheet at halftime featuring solely Jack Butland’s name, implying, ‘This is the team for the cup final, as it stands.’”
Lastly, Jim Forsyth, hailing from Bellshill, rallied a call to the Union Bears, stating, “It was disheartening to witness purported Rangers enthusiasts exiting the scene. Our momentum was curbed by injuries. Let’s not forget where we were during Beale’s tenure. The team instilled hope and deserves rightful recognition.”
