Rangers’ temporary move to Hampden has been approved, and the Celtic fans are already getting ready for some banter. Last season, Brendan Rodgers’ squad triumphed over Philippe Clement’s team in the Scottish Cup Final at their ‘new home,’ with Callum McGregor and his teammates finding success at Mount Florida in the past. Despite Rangers clinching the League Cup with a victory over Aberdeen in the south side, one bold Celtic supporter is already predicting another win against their rivals at Hampden. Scott McAdam from Glasgow questioned if Rangers would blame the size of the pitch if Celtic emerged victorious again in the league.
The lack of clarity surrounding the Hampden move has left fans frustrated, with no return date set for Ibrox. While the agreement is in place until September, there is uncertainty around when Rangers will return. One Celtic supporter pointed out that their team had once used Hampden for an entire season due to rebuilding at Celtic Park, highlighting the lack of planning from the Rangers board. Fans are expressing disappointment over the situation and calling for strong leadership at the club.
On the transfer front, Philippe Clement has indicated that signing Abdallah Sima to Rangers is unlikely due to the hefty price tag. Rangers may need to sell players before they can make any new signings, with callers discussing potential targets and financial constraints.
Hibs boss David Gray has started well with wins in the Premier Sports Cup, but fans are being cautioned not to get ahead of themselves when facing tougher competition. There is a reminder of the ‘natural order’ awaiting when facing the ‘big boys.’
Lastly, the astonishing feat of Cavan Sullivan becoming the youngest player in the MLS at just 14 years old has caught attention. However, one observer noted the differences in how young teenagers in Scotland spend their time, contrasting Sullivan’s achievement with the behavior of some Scottish youth at football grounds.
