On the go, Craig Gordon was an unexpected destination for hotline callers for some of his Hearts Signing Day statements.
The Scottish goalkeeper sealed a return to Tynecastle after not agreeing to an extended contract with Celtic.
Most observers believed that with a two-year option on the table at Hearts and regular offers, Gordon had little choice.
But his conversation about derailing Parkhead Treble’s hopes and feeling unfair about Gorgie about the club’s relegation sparked a lively debate.

Kevin Lord, Drylaw, said, “So Craig Gordon wants to destroy heights? I wonder how many 10-in-a-row functions he’ll be visiting over the next few years to undertake a freebie and ego trip. Celtic has revived his career and he should be grateful. “
Eddie Whoriskey sent an email saying, “Gordon has a cheek and says he insists Hearts should feel hurt about relegating eight games and that this is an injustice to fans and players.
“He is very happy that Celtic won the title with eight games. Double standards. “

However, Frank McFerran, Carrickfergus, had a different view of the Gordon situation and said, “It was a mistake for Celtic to lose Gordon. Her arrogance towards him about his new deal must have really embarrassed the guy. He had no choice but to go. You will regret it. “
Stephen Aitken, Pollok, added: “Gordon was a brilliant servant of Celtic. I am not particularly interested in Hearts, but I hope he does it well and wins his place on the Scottish side. He rarely failed us. “
Obviously it is a Hotline , people still argue about the titles. Robert McEwan sent an email saying, “I’m tired of clowns playing Celtic all the time. Can’t you think that we didn’t finish the league prematurely? The Skint teams in the SPFL did it. And we’re going to win 10 in a row. “
George Wilson, West Sussex, said, “Why are we told by Celtic followers time and time again that Rangers won only 53 titles plus a common title, as if this were comparable to their situation?
“Rangers have won 54 championship titles, including a joint one. Celtic has won 50 titles, including eight in a row, and a championship title was awarded at a zoom conference as he led the table with only 75 percent of the games played at the end of the season. These are two completely different things. “
John Robertson’s call yesterday that Celtic was average went back like a lead balloon among Hoops fans. Bud Hay, Dumfries, said: “If he thinks Celtic is average, what does Rangers do?
“If Celtic does 10 in a row, one thing is certain. Celtic will make history and Steven Gerrard will be released. He said he would stop 10, but he said that about nine and eight. He couldn’t stop a bus. “
Steve McSherry, Uddingston, added: “Doesn’t he know what he’s actually saying? If Celtic, by far the best team in Scotland, is average, where are the rangers? Rank lazy. That’s where.”
The next phase of Scottish football pantomime will take place on the squares on Wednesday. Hearts and Partick Thistle fight against their relegation and Phil Cameron, Dalkeith said, “I’m not a football fan, but I can’t argue with the clubs.
“You have the right to try to fight for what you think is right. After all, self-interest is what drives our game and all previous decisions. What is so different about this scenario? “
