Rangers' impressive 12-match unbeaten run in all competitions has kept the pressure on Premiership leaders Celtic and secured their place in next month's Premier Sports Cup final against Hibernian. However, on the Daily Record Hotline, some callers have dismissed the hype surrounding Derek McInnes' side, pointing to what they describe as a series of contentious decisions.
Hotline callers question Rangers' form
Charles Maxwell called in to say: "I can't believe some of the flannel surrounding Rangers at the moment. Second spot is nowhere in Scotland. We've had to listen to weeks of gas lighting directed toward the league leaders, whilst listening to drivel talking up a team that has emptied its pockets, couldn't make Europe, and are in the losers spot in the league, despite contentious decisions going their way in every game this season. If Celtic were sitting second a third of the way through the season we'd be getting slaughtered."
Gordon Ashley, from Ayr, agreed, adding: "Just see the video doing the rounds on the astonishing run of match changing decisions handed to rangers this season and this needs investigated. It runs into every single game they have played apart from one! Fans of all clubs are calling this out online, not just Celtic. What an utter farce this is turning into."
Remembrance Sunday conduct criticised
Stuart McLeod vented his fury at Celtic fans for their conduct during the minute's silence to mark Remembrance Sunday ahead of last weekend's home clash with Kilmarnock. He stated: "How long before Scottish football addresses the elephant in the room? Shameful scenes at Celtic Park again on Sunday in what should have been the chance for fair-minded fans to honour and remember the brave men and women who sacrificed themselves for our nation. The SPFL must allocate Celtic with an away fixture at this time of year and restrict admission so others can pay their respects."
Scotland return and East Fife appointment
Scotland return to action on Friday night with the visit of North Macedonia in their penultimate Nations League fixture. Stephen Mulhern, from Dumbarton, is looking forward to seeing Scott McTominay back in the squad after he missed the last call-up while undergoing heart surgery.
He commented: "I'm looking forward to attending Hampden to witness our very own six million dollar man (we have the technology we can rebuild him) Scott McTominay back in the fold after his health scare. He's our only truly world class player and along with our very own mini Messi Billy Gilmour, I'm predicting a comfortable three nil victory to put us back in the mix."
Finally, Rangers and Falkirk favourite Scott Arfield has launched his coaching career after being named player/manager of League One side East Fife, replacing veteran boss Dick Campbell. Robert Livingstone, from Palm Beach, recalled the club's glorious period during the 1950s.
He said: "Scott Arfield, one of Rangers best, is now manager at East Fife, where the great Scot Symon started his managerial career in the old second division. He won two league cup finals and took them to Scottish cup final against rangers and also won promotion to the old first division. East Fife were a powerhouse side in 1950s who finished third several times and always in top six which was remarkable for the size of Methill. Can Scotty turn back the clock?"
