Everyone knows the best place to hear a good rumour in Glasgow is in the back of a taxi.
And sure, enough, he's a cracker to kick off the Hotline that would demolish the gloom at Rangers and catch Celtic's attention– in the unlikely event it came true.
Graham Taylor, Airdrie, said: 'I have been told the man who is going to lead Rangers to title number 56 next season.
'It is obviously no coincidence that the same name was mentioned to me by two different people, a passenger in my taxi and then by someone on the golf course on Sunday.
'The 49ers have been busy in the background and will deliver Jurgen Klopp to the Rangers faithful.
'Exciting times ahead and at last natural order is about to be restored in season 25/26.'
Hey, Klopp's on the books of Red Bull, who look set to sponsor Rangers so…
Anyway, big Jurgen will have his work cut out stopping Celtic the race for 56.
Willie Mercer, Dumfries, said: 'It is not difficult to see why Ferguson has had no more success with this Rangers squad than Clement had.
'Even the great man himself, Walter Smith, would struggle with the current squad of misfits.
'Any ambitions to be competing with Celtic in the future must be built on the recruitment of players who are not only capable footballers but possess the stature and robustness to deal with the unique rigours of Scottish football.'
Donald Dundas, Uddingston, said: 'I agree with Kris Boyd regarding a clear out at Ibrox.
'Jefte, totally destroyed by St Mirren winger and out of his depth, Dessers should be the top scorer in the league every year and as for Yilmaz, Propper, Tavernier, Bajrami, Cortez and Danilo – that's eight who are just not good enough.
'It doesn't leave much to get excited about, even with the supposed investment coming in.
'I'm afraid next season could be a write off already as rebuilds don't happen over a close season.'
Not all Gers fans are worried though, or impressed with Arne Engels up for PFA young player of the year.
Chris Lowe, Yoker, said: 'Had to laugh that Pengals is up for an award this season. For what exactly?
'Best penalty taker in green and white? Second best Belgium in the league?
'Most overrated player? Sorry, but Khun wins that hands down.
'Even the Celtic fans think he's nowhere near an £11 million player.'
On toe Sunday's final Old Firm showdown and David Beattie, via email, said: 'Why is the media not asking the question as to why Rangers will not give the champions Glasgow Celtic a guard of honour on Sunday?
They have been asked and it's not happening. Next.
Jimmy Murray, Edinburgh, said: 'Do Celtic players never learn? We've got Callum McGregor and Engels now promising revenge at Ibrox on Sunday. 'McGregor should know better. He's the club captain. Wish he'd try showing a bit of class.
'As for revenge. Rather than talking about it, would it not be better to do it on the pitch.'
Finally, Hearts captain Lawrence Shankland and owner Ann Budge copped it for their less than impressive reactions when asked about Neil Critchley getting the black hack.
Neil Renton, Leith, said: 'The reaction from Shankland and Hearts players and staff when quizzed about Critchley being sacked was a total lack of respect towards the club that employs them.
'If I had the misfortune of being a Jambo I'd be livid at their actions.'
