Rangers aren’t ‘coming’ because they’re HERE but I’ll tell you why you can’t rule Celtic out – Chris Sutton

Rangers aren’t ‘coming’ because they’re HERE but I’ll tell you why you can’t rule Celtic out – Chris Sutton

According to Brendan Rodgers, he is used to hearing about the Rangers’ arrival at the beginning of the year. They are, after all, formally present. Under Philippe Clement, this time.

Rodgers needs to find a means to counter the Ibrox challenge and guarantee Celtic wins, just like he has in the past. He might do it again, and I wouldn’t rule it out. This is becoming a real war, and as a player in Glasgow, I can tell you from experience that temperament is just as important as skill. It turns over so fast. So quickly.

If Celtic don’t beat Kilmarnock, there will be punters howling and heading for the car park. If they do win and then Rangers mess up at St Johnstone on Sunday, their fans will get angry and outsiders will claim they have no bottle and don’t have the mentality to see this race through. You need to cope with it all. It’s what makes an Old Firm title race so enthralling.

With a strong management track record, the Belgian arrived at Ibrox and immediately placed a trophy on the sideboard. It’s evident that he has mastered an excellent playing technique. It accomplishes the task and is sufficiently direct.

He’s getting a tune out of them, but to be honest, I’m still not persuaded it’s much more than your typical Rangers team. Season veterans like James Tavernier were being ridiculed at the beginning of the campaign, and new recruits were being called out for not being talented enough.
