Celtic are repeating 10 In A Row transfer mistakes as Rangers urged to appoint Sir Alex Ferguson
Anthony Evans took your calls as Brendan Rodgers was asked to make his mind up over transfers Celtic have been accused of 'sitting on their hands' in the transfer market this summer, with one Hotline punter fearing a repeat of a scenario five years ago. The Hoops went into the start of the 2020/21 season looking for a 10th successive Premiership title, only for Steven Gerrard's Rangers to deny them the historic feet, with manager Neil Lennon leaving the club with three months of the campaign still to go. Fans are clamouring for big money signings before their crunch Champions League play-off at the end of August, having seen 49ers Enterprises splash the cash across the city at Rangers. And Charles Buchanan is growing increasingly worried about his team's chances of retaining their crown once again. He emailed to say: " Celtic sat on their hands and let Rangers stop ten in a row. Now they are doing it again by not getting cover in central defence and at full back. If anything happens to Cameron Carter-Vickers, Kieran Tierney and Alistair Johnson, we will struggle against any decent teams get." However, two other callers of a Parkhead persuasion remain relaxed on the situation. Stephen Mulhern, Dumbarton, said: " I believe the reaction to Celtic so far not bringing in a Hollywood type signing from fellow Celtic fans on the Hotline is over the top. "Our league is hard to attract the quality Rodgers craves because of a lack of competition on the domestic front and having three artificial surfaces doesn't help either Celtic would splash the cash but unfortunately the English premiership is where the best players want to test themselves." Robert McEwan, Mt Vernon, added: "Celtic's lack of (signing) a couple of up and ready type players are out there, so hopefully we get them in. But we fans are not panicking yet. The fact is we have lost quality, but win on Sunday, and we can do what we expect to do as usual by winning the title." David Oliver, Hawick, has an alternative view on the lack of serious investment from the champions so far this summer. He wrote: "In reply to Joe MacEachen wondering why Celtic haven't opened the purse strings yet, I reckon (Peter) Lawwell and (Dermot) Desmond know Brendan (Rodgers) won't be here after this season and they're keeping the money to entice a new manager when he leaves. Not to say they won't have new signings still incoming, stranger things have happened though. Big risk though if don't get into the Champions League." Donald Dundas, Uddingston, added: "It was amusing to hear The Bold Brendan congratulate himself on all the signings being his after results against Sporting and a couldn't be bothered Newcastle "However the rapid contradiction after the Ajax destruction shouting from the heavens: 'We need signings" and 'we need to spend on quality'. Make your mind up Brendan. "Although to be fair, the board as usual are hoping Rangers won't improve which could come back to bite (them)." Sir Alex Ferguson recently visited Russell Martin and his squad at Auchenhowie ahead of their Champions League second round qualifying first leg victory over Panathinaikos last week and one punter is now calling on the Ibrox giants to offer the legendary manager a position on the board. Stephen Johnstone Ardentinny, wrote: "Sir Alex Ferguson is best ever manager in my mind in world club football. The former player at Ibrox has a base now in the west end and is visiting Rangers' facility as well as attending their games. "Are the 49ers going to appoint Fergie with a non-directorship to the board and pick his brains of the vast knowledge of the football world? He can be the one to make them rise from the ashes and be like Sir Alex's all-shining knights to end Celtic dominance."

Celtic hero questions outcast's effort after recommending him
Last season, he was sent out on loan to Greece with Olympiacos. Izaguirre - who won seven league titles, three Scottish Cups and two League Cups at Celtic and is now sports director of Motagua - was instrumental in getting Palma to Celtic after recommending the player to the Hoops. But he's admitted he was disappointed with Palma's efforts in Scottish football. He said: "I think Luis Palma needed to be more intense when he was at Celtic and actually finish the 90 minutes. "I don't know if he has good pre-seasons, I don't know about injuries, but you can see that he never seems to be able to finish the 90 minutes. Read more: "He's a winger and has to run many miles a game, press and make runs. I'm not sure he did that. "But he still has the potential to return to form. "He's now in Poland and we hope he gets the chance to play and enjoy it because he definitely has what it takes. "I have always believed in the national team players, which is why many of them play in Europe. We have quality." Meanwhile, Palma was praised by his Lech Poznan manager Niels Frederiksen after his introduction to Polish football in a 4-3 win at ex-Scotland No.2 John Carver's Lechia Gdansk. He said: "Luis Palma only had a few minutes on the pitch, but he forced a good save from their keeper and you could see the quality he has. "He will be a big player for us this season once he gets up to match fitness."
