Mark Pirie manned the phones as the title race was thrust back into the limelight after a blockbuster Scottish Cup weekend.
The Scottish Cup semi-finals are behind us with Scottish Premiership action just around the corner - but some punters are reading the tea leaves from the Hampden fallout.
He said: "Rangers were bang average against Hearts. Then we had serial sitter misser Dessers saying his team are the best. Thank goodness for CCV for talking some sense on the back pages. Three points is nothing. A slip up at Celtic Park and its curtains for them. Then Clement will feel the heat when unsettled natives get restless. Ask Michael Beale."
Gary Stevenson of Newtonhill added: "It's time to cut Cyriel Dessers a bit of slack. His workrate, hold up play and attitude is top notch. With Clement's backing, if he sharpens up his conversion rate he would easily be the country's best striker. There is no need for taking a gamble on Shankland or Miovski who have no top level experience. In Cyriel we trust."
But regular caller Tam has his own critics - with the Celtic fan accused of tarnishing the legacy of his own club on the Hotline after playing down Rangers' League Cup victory. Theo Bishopton wrote in: "Tam Williamson and other regulars don’t appear to understand that by branding the League Cup a Mickey Mouse Trophy they have effectively downgraded Celtic’s legacy of trebles to doubles.
