'Useless' Dessers gets it tight from Rangers diehard as Hotline calls in Ghostbusters to find out who pushed Fabio Silva

Poor old Cyriel Dessers seemingly can’t do right for doing wrong.

Even when he’s the Hampden hero for Rangers scoring two goals to fire his side into the Scottish Cup Final, he gets it in the neck for shooting from the lip afterwards. Dessers claims Rangers can show they are are the best team in the league if they find their rhythm. But Gordon Hendry said: “Dessers needs to keep his mouth shut as he doesn't speak for the majority of Rangers fans. If Lawrence Shankland was our centre forward we would be the best team in the league.”

George McLeish wrote in: “I have followed Rangers for nearly 70 years and to read some useless, so-called striker say we are the best is embarrassing. Who does he think he is, Ronaldo? Then there’s Silva, who trips over his own feet in front of an empty goal, I’ve seen better players in local football than these two. And don’t get me started on Matondo who needs the goals the width of the Broomloan Stand to have any chance of finding the target.”

Speaking of Silva, Robert McEwan, Mount Vernon, said: “Is it true the SFA are looking to hire the Ghostbusters to try and identify the culprit who challenged poor Fabio Silva when he fell over while staring at an empty goal?”

There was support for Dessers though, Alec Morrison, Buckie, said: “Yes, Dessers isn't the best but we have had many a worse striker than him including ones that were proven in the English Premier League. He has currently scored more goals than Celtic’s £20m striker Kyogo.”

Philippe Clement made a big call at Hampden by dropping Connor Goldson for Leon Balogun and Robert Livingstone, Palm Beach, said: “Balogun certainly made the difference in defence, a strong steady presence who took control and never missing a thing. For me he was best on the park with Cantwell. Surely now Goldson's time is up, he's been struggling in the centre half position for a while, nobody can deny he's given Rangers great service over the years but sadly times caught up with him.”

It’s not just Rangers players getting it in the neck off their own fans on the Hotline though. Step forward Celtic defender Liam Scales.

Charles Buchanan emailed: “Liam Scales says Celtic can't defend as badly as they did at the weekend. Well he was the biggest culprit. You couldn't have got Daily Record under his feet when he jumped. And as for Alistair Johnston, if he had been where he was supposed to be out wide Aberdeen would not have got the chance to put it on a plate for two of their goals. Shocking defending.”

William Hutchison, Aberdeen, emailed: “Scales is right, we had to defend better because if we defend like that the rest of campaign we won't have a chance to win anything. But he's got a cheek because he was the worst on Saturday, so before pointing the finger at your team mates should take hard long look at yourself.”

Five games remain in the Premiership title fight and Gordon Ashley, Ayr, said: “The pressure on Philippe Clement in the run-in is going to be immense.

"The Rangers fans have gone from talking about a quadruple to staring down the barrel of Celtic taking over their trophy haul with 118 unshared wins. And if we win the league they will go to Hampden on May 25 in a state of utter terror.”

Joe Hart says he’d be willing to keep working for Celtic in some capacity - outwith coaching - when he hangs up the gloves at the end of the season.

Stephen Mulhern emailed: “I would be delighted if Hart remains at Celtic in some capacity. With his huge experience his remit could be identifying his replacement for next season. Going down the foreign route has proven disastrous in the past and with his knowledge of English football I’m sure he identify someone to replace him.”

Finally, switching to the other side of the country, Neil Renton, Leith, was on the wind-up when he said: “With all Hearts fans claims that they’re the big club in Edinburgh, it’s worthwhile pointing out the following: the last club from the capital to win either the Scottish Cup or the League Cup was Hibs. Throw in the fact that the Jambos play at a stadium nicknamed Tynie and it makes you think.”
