Sniggering Rangers told Celtic Treble tears will dry quickly as Modric is more Murray style moonbeams
Rangers fans have been having a giggle at Celtic's tears after Treble failure on the Hotline all week.
But Hoops fans have hit back and insisted their club has the last laugh. Kenny Wilson, Moffat, said: 'With Rangers fans at long last having something to cheer about this season it makes me laugh that Celtic only doing a double this season is something to gloat about.
'Yet another season winning nothing, getting beat at home by Queen's Park yet our captain crying is something to chuckle at. If only your own players have a fraction of his talent or passion maybe they would be in with a chance of winning the League Cup.'
Peter Lyons, Blantyre, said: 'Can I ask if true why were you walking past Hampden on Cup Final day when the Govan Galacticos were knocked out in an earlier round by that euro force Queen's Park. Every single Hoops fan still has tears of laughter.'
Glen Mitchell emailed: 'The usual Ibrox leaning supporters of a simply unsuccessful club are taking the mickey out of Callum McGregor shedding a few tears.
'This is a player who has won in excess of 20 trophies, six of which came in the Gerrard period, where they won one from nine. St Johnstone won more than they did during Steven Gerrard's tenure. Don't forget the tears from Ryan Jack either when they lost a League Cup Final.'
Mark McManus, Purley, said: 'I was pleased to see the usual Rangers support on here celebrating a Celtic loss in lifting the Treble. It's great to see that they have something to celebrate at the end of the season.
'No doubt they will be gloating over the billions they will be spending next season to catch up with the champions of Scotland with the one of six managers in the frame along with Luca Modric who apparently is chomping at the bit for a move to Ibrox.
"I say get Slippy back. He has unfinished business as he left early to be successful at Aston villa and Saudi Arabia.'
Meanwhile, the Rangers boss search drags on and Robert Livingston, Palm Beach, said: 'Maybe they should have put half a dozen names in a hat a month ago and have Andrew Cavenagh – who knows nothing about soccer – pull one out. If it's true the new owners are giving Rangers £100m to spend they should have gone and got the best – Jose Mourinho.'
Elsewhere, a tale of two hitmen with Gers' Cyriel Dessers on target for his country and ex-Celt Kyogo out in the cold in France.
Chris Lowe, Yoker, said: 'With Dessers scoring in a Green and White jersey for the Nigeria national team, I'm surprised he hasn't got £30 million rated headlines with mythical Italian teams interested. That's 29 for the season for Cyril, if he played across the city there would be a bidding war.'
While Stephen Mulhern, Dumbarton, said: 'What bigger incentive does Brendan Rodgers need to pick up the phone to Kyogo after reports claim he has been told to find a new club? I've watched every Celtic match since his departure and you don't need to be a rocket scientist to see they are a shadow of a team with him missing.'
Finally a word for a promotion hero.
Stephen Johnstone, Ardentinny, said: 'David Martindale has been outstanding for Livingston, juggling both roles as manager and keeping the club from extinction.
'He deserves the next managerial award as others would have thrown the towel in. Well done Davie, you are a true professional, you hung in there and hope you reap the rewards next season.'

Michael Soroka leads combined two-hitter as Nats beat Rangers
June 7 - Michael Soroka threw six scoreless innings and Alex Call homered to propel the Washington Nationals to a 2-0 victory over the visiting Texas Rangers on Friday. Soroka (3-3) allowed just two hits while striking out seven and walking one for the Nationals, who had dropped three of four games prior to the series opener. The Washington bullpen kept Texas hitless for the final three innings. Closer Kyle Finnegan retired the first two Rangers he faced in the ninth before Marcus Semien reached on CJ Abrams' fielding error. Finnegan got Jake Burger to pop out to end the game, securing his 18th save of the season. Patrick Corbin (3-5) -- a former Nationals pitcher -- threw an eight-inning complete game, allowing two earned runs on five hits, striking out two and walking none. Adolis Garcia and Josh Smith each tallied a hit for the Rangers, who dropped their fourth straight game. Washington struck first in the bottom of the second as Nathaniel Lowe and Call began the inning with singles before Robert Hassell III drove in the game's first run with a groundout. Garcia's two-out single in the top of the fifth marked the Rangers' first hit and only their second baserunner after Kyle Higashioka was hit by a pitch in the third. Corbin cruised through the bottom of the fifth with a five-pitch inning. Smith laced a one-out single in the sixth while Corey Seager worked a two-out walk, but Soroka escaped the jam by inducing Semien's flyout. Brad Lord relieved Soroka in the seventh, retiring Burger and Evan Carter on two pitches before getting Garcia to pop out to end the inning. Jose Ferrer added a perfect eighth. Call doubled Washington's lead in the seventh with a 407-foot solo shot -- his first of the year. --Field Level Media

Rangers linked Davide Ancelotti ‘makes major decision on his future as he lands new job'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RANGERS managerial contender Davide Ancelotti has reportedly joined his legendary father Carlo at Brazil. Ancelotti was one of the front runners to take over from Philippe Clement at Ibrox, but missed out on landing the job to former Southampton boss Russell Martin. Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 2 Davide Ancelotti at Real Madrid Credit: Getty 2 Davide is teaming up with his legendary father Carlo at Brazil Credit: Reuters The 39-year-old was appointed the new manager on Thursday and vowed to win over his doubters. Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano claims on Friday, Davide Ancelotti has made a major decision on his future and is teaming up with his dad Carlo once again. He posted on Twitter: "Davide Ancelotti joins Brazil staff with his father Carlo, decision made and contract signed." Ancelotti has already been his father's number two at Real Madrid, Napoli, Bayern Munich and Everton. But it appeared he was set to go out on his own at Rangers after months of speculation linking him with the top job at Ibrox. He had indicated that Rangers were his preferred choice but had a number of options to consider, with Spanish second division side Deportivo and Swiss outfit Basel reportedly interested. One of those other opportunities also included rejoining his father at Brazil after leaving Real Madrid and that's the decision he has reportedly made. Carlo Ancelotti's first match in charge of Brazil ended in a 0-0 draw with Ecuador on Thursday, which he still described as a "special" occasion. Chances were at a premium, with Brazil only mustering two shots on target. He said after the game: "I think the pitch conditions here made it a bit tricky to play a more intricate game from the back. "It was harder to control the ball. "That said, we had two very good chances, with Vinicius Jr, with Casemiro in the second half. "Yes, we could've done better in attack, but you've also got to take into account the strength of the opponent. "Ecuador played a very good game, just as we did... The journeys here are really long, that takes its toll a bit." Rangers fans react to news Russell Martin is their new manager The draw keeps them fourth in World Cup qualification in South America with an encounter against Paraguay to come. The top six automatically qualify for next year's showpiece. Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

Postecoglou suggested for Scotland job after Iceland defeat
The national team faced a troubling defeat against the side ranked 74th in the world. Andri Gudjohnsen opened the scoring, before John Souttar levelled things up. Read more: An own goal from Lewis Ferguson, just before the break, gave the visitors the lead. Victor Palsson made it 3-1 just after half-time. Iceland, who only had three shots on target throughout the match, then held on for victory. Speaking post-match, Stewart made a surprise suggestion regarding former Celtic boss Postecoglou live on BBC Radio Scotland. He said: "There's a degree of apathy, and you don't want that. "The manager has said it himself: he views it through to the World Cup, then he feels it would be time to make a change. "And then big Ange can come in." The Australian boss was sacked by Tottenham Hotspur after leading them to Europa League glory just over a fortnight ago. Reflecting on his time at the club, Postecoglou expressed his pride. He said: "When I reflect on my time as manager of Tottenham Hotspur, my overriding emotion is one of pride. "The opportunity to lead one of England's historic football clubs and bring back the glory it deserves will live with me for a lifetime. "Sharing that experience with all those who truly love this club and seeing the impact it had on them is something I will never forget." Postecoglou also acknowledged the hard work and dedication that went into achieving success. He said: "That night in Bilbao was the culmination of two years of hard work, dedication and unwavering belief in a dream. "There were many challenges to overcome and plenty of noise that comes with trying to accomplish what many said was not possible. "We have also laid foundations that mean this club should not have to wait 17 more years for their next success." Postecoglou is now left without a club after being sacked by Spurs, with his departure from north London coming just over two weeks after he won the Europa League.
