International football may be dominating the talking points but the spats don't stop in Scottish football as Mark Pirie takes your calls.
Some are more concerned with domestic affairs and Gordon Ashley seems to have sparked a debate that Rangers fans just won't let go to focus on Steve Clarke 's men. The Celtic diehard took aim at Rangers for their Champions League record - digging up the humbling at the hands of Liverpool and branded Celtic the real big guns of Euopean football in Scotland.
"Of the last 4 times they reached the group stages they finished bottom 3 times and were only second bottom by virtue of goal difference. They won 3 games, drew 6 and lost 15. Scored 19, conceded 64. When you take into consideration their abject failure to make any progress or impact in the times they dropped down the European competitions that erodes his attempts to champion them as some sort of European giants.
But back on to Euro 2024, and there was some eyebrows raised by the Tartan Army following the late-fight back from Finland. After the 2-2 draw, William Simpson demanded better in the tournament opener against Germany: "What is it about Scotland that they end up with one against one in the goal area, When other teams move in waves pushing forward? Finland played it to perfection. It's hardly rocket science. We will need to tighten up against Germany, that's for sure.
"I want to be positive for the Euro's but these damning stats don't bode well for us. We played better against Finland than we did against 73rd placed Northern Ireland but were still unable to win. Clarke needs to get us out the group or he'll surely be out of a job."
