‘Big, big blow’ – Simon Thomas reacts to Celtic draw in new Rangers verdict live on Sky Sports 

While Celtic stammered to a 1-1 draw at Parkhead against Kilmarnock, Rangers now have the opportunity to seize the crown and deal a severe blow to their Old Firm rivals, according to Simon Thomas.

The Sky Sports host made her statement as Kilmarnock, who had already defeated Brendan Rodgers’ team twice this season, pulled off another victory to give Rangers a chance.
On February 18, Philippe Clement’s team will visit St Johnstone with the knowledge that victory would put them two points ahead of the competition and in the driver’s seat.”Kilmarnock beat Celtic in the League Cup and the Scottish Premiership, and they’ve taken two points off them at Celtic Park today,” Thomas said in a live broadcast on Sky Sports News on February 17 at 16:57.

“Rangers will have the opportunity to lead from the front tomorrow as they go to St Johnstone.

 

“The only thing separating the two clubs was the number of goals scored; they were tied on points and goal differential. That afternoon’s big, big blow to Celtic was that. It ends at Celtic Park 1-1.Rangers now have to win against St Johnstone.
Rangers had to make sure they defeated St Johnstone away from home even before the Celtic outcome, but now that their title rivals are losing ground, it is absolutely necessary.a match that Clement’s squad has to win.

There can be no justification for losing this one, even though Clement will, as he has always insisted, take each game as it comes and not waste the opportunity to go two points clear at the top.

The team’s ability to handle the pressure of leading the title race will then be the deciding factor. They have been the underdogs in the battle up to this point because they have been chasing Celtic, but winning the championship is a different story.

Although the midweek victory over Ross County was noteworthy, some felt that the Gers lost out on a chance to advance to first place with more goals scored. This time, the chance has arisen once more.
