Rangers: Alan Brazil and Gabby Agbonlahor argue over Old Firm title verdict in fresh Celtic admission.
Rangers hold the advantage over Celtic in the Scottish Premiership title race but the upcoming Old Firm derby meetings will be important, according to Alan Brazil.
Philippe Clement’s team presently sit two points clear of the Hoops at the top of the Premiership table but squandered the opportunity to increase their lead to five points when they were thrashed by Motherwell at Ibrox.
While Brazil has criticized officials for the Hoops’ recent bad form, Gabby Agbonlahor has revealed he has been astonished by both Old Firm teams’ recent form and believes Celtic fans should be becoming anxious.
Speaking on talkSPORT on Thursday (7 March, 7:26) he said: “I keep looking at the scores and I’m like Rangers will win that and Celtic will win that and they keep losing. What’s going on? You used to switch on the scores and Celtic would have won 6-0, 5-0, 4-0.
“Now, those teams are catching up, the Kilmarnocks, the Motherwells. You’re nervous aren’t you about this season?”
Brazil soon answered saying: “It’s called referees and officials that’s what it’s called. There are two more Old Firm games to come and that’s what will settle it. But it is advantage Rangers.”
Will Rangers have enough to overcome Celtic to the Scottish Premiership title?
The title battle in Celtic hangs in the balance today, with Rangers and Celtic practically neck and neck after 29 games of the season and it means that it will only take one or two big performances for the entire league to flip on its head.
Clement’s team may have the edge today, but they might have lost that following their defeat to Motherwell had Celtic managed to capture all three points at Tynecastle as Hearts went out 2-0 winners.
This race will go right down to the wire as both teams will almost likely drop points between now and the conclusion of the season, Rangers simply have to try and guarantee that they better Brendan Rodgers’ side’s results week in and week out.
Hopefully, Clement’s team can go back to winning ways in their Europa League duel with Benfica on Thursday (7 March) before they make the travel to Easter Road to face Hibernian in the Scottish Cup on Sunday (10 March).
