Scotland are on the brink of World Cup history. But in Hotline land, Derek McInnes remains the only show in town.
Celtic fans have been lapping up the new Rangers manager's appointment and the former Hearts boss has already been handed a new moniker.
Peter Lyons, Blantyre, said: "So, the Rangers fans are happy with the appointment of Derek McWinless. The Celtic fans are ecstatic with the appointment. We go from Slippy G aka 1 in 9 to a manager who is 1 in 18. 57 incoming."
Craig Barnett reckons McInnes will be a goner before next summer: "Who advised the Americans that Derek McInnes was the man to lead Rangers? This is a poor appointment. His title collapse was worse than Danny Rohl's five cup finals. I give him less than a full season."
Bud Hay, Dumfries, is in the same boat: "If they don't win any silverware it will be another Rangers manager for the scrapheap. The champions will get him sacked."
Record Sport's Barry Ferguson insists Bluenose McInnes ticks all the boxes of a Gers manager. But Charles Maxwell said: "I see from his column that wee Barry as per usual can't wait to get on board with the latest managerial appointment at his old stomping ground. He tells us it's taken dyed-in-the-wool Del 19 years to 'make it back to where he always wanted to be.' But conveniently forgot he gave them at least one knock back. He then goes on to mention 22 permanent managers as some sort of comfort blanket to him and his ilk. May I remind him that since The Rangers' inception in 2012, they have had 14 managers. Five of whom were caretakers. Himself included. How long will it be before the wheels come off this bus?"
Hotline regular Alan Flett lit the blue touch paper by branding Martin O'Neill's return to the Celtic Park hotseat unambitious. Scott McAdam, Partick, hit back: "Great to see Alan embarrass himself yet again. Not only does he know nothing about anything other than the champions, he's even contradicting himself now. Rangers finished 10 points behind the 74-year-old who came back and won us a Double. So Frett thinks ambition is taking the manager and captain from the runners-up? Well, knock yourself out son."
Mr Frett has clearly rattled a few cages as Sean Beech, Hampshire, also weighed in: "I see a certain Alan is on his ‘Frettline’ again blasting away like a bairn with a scattergun hoping to score a hit rather than taking aim to secure any points. Bit like his team, really."
One thing that might unite both sides of the Old Firm divide is the scheduling of their Premiership openers. Celtic have blasted their Monday night flag day fixture while Gers supporters face a trip to Tannadice just 72 hours earlier. Stuart McLeod said: "Here we go again the SPFL not giving a toss about the fans. First game of the new season and Rangers fans are asked to travel to Dundee at 8pm on a Friday night. I had to give my season ticket up after getting messed about with kick-off times last season and it looks like my daughter will be following with the trend continuing into this season."
Hearts fan Ian McDonald isn't a happy chappy either: "Another devalued midweek fixture for the first Edinburgh derby. Funny how you never see the Chuckle Brothers playing midweek."
The final word goes to Bernie Carr, who reckons football really is coming home - to Glasgow: "If England can let Croatia score two goals against them, how many are Scotland going to score against them in the final?" Let's just hope we reach the last 32!
