Mark Pirie manned the phone on the eve of the new Premiership season
The Scottish Premiership is back on Saturday - and there is a mood change taking place on the Hotline before the big kick-off.
Joe Graham, Garrowhill said: "Not the best pre-season start this year for Rangers, but it begins for real on Saturday when we take on Hearts away from home. The first of all our away games to be played until Ibrox comes back into play. Philippe Clement always says the league is a marathon and not a sprint, but all supporters like myself are looking for a Usain Bolt flyer on this first game as a must. The pre season games were not inspiring with most of the unwanted faces on show.
Hotline regular Gordon Ashley was in the firing line after taking aim at Rangers and John Bennett over their attempts to jump start a player trading model at Ibrox as he threw doubt on the Light Blues title bid. But Gary Stevenson wasn't having any of it responding: "If Gordon Ashley is really a veteran I am sure he will remember the many, many times Celtic have missed out. He claims That 'every year is the same'. Now, don't be silly Gordon.
It was a tough night for Kilmarnock fans as they watched their side crash of Europe at the hands of Cercle Brugge. And Tom Patterson, Falkirk has major concerns for the new season after the Europa League qualifying exit: "As a Killie fan I am worried about what appears to be a major weakness with our goalkeeper. I was at the Bruges game at Rugby Park and Robby McCrorie's flapping at cross balls was alarming.
