The Hoops’ victory over Young Boys at Celtic Park on Wednesday night guaranteed Celtic a spot in the Champions League playoffs.
After defeating Rangers on Thursday, Man United is now in a strong position to place in the top eight of the Europa League.
Jason Cundy and Jamie O’Hara, two commentators, predicted whether or not Man United will challenge Celtic for the Scottish Premiership title, suggesting that the English Premier League team’s performance has left them unimpressed.
Rangers told there is still ‘a chasm’ to Celtic after Man United defeat
Cundy eviscerated both Man United and Rangers as he predicted whether or not the Premier League club could compete with Celtic for the SPFL title.
Cundy told talkSPORT [4m], “I’m looking at and the bits that I’ve seen from Celtic, I don’t think United would win the SPFL.
O’Hara: “Who? Celtic? Do you think they would finish second?”
Cundy: “Maybe. I mean, when you look at that tonight, right? So Rangers are some distance behind Celtic, right? There’s a chasm between them, and there’s another chasm between them and Aberdeen.
“It’s like you’re looking at snookers already. Rangers can go home and hold their heads up high.”
O’Hara: “Can they?
Cundy: “I think so. United were terrible. I thought Rangers were pretty damn poor as well in all honesty. Two bad teams.”

“I thought looking at that,” continued Cundy, “I wouldn’t put a pound of Cundy money on Man United to go up in the SPFL and win the title. Not one single pound. Celtic will give them a game.
“Those two teams out there, they stunk the game out. That was a terrible spectacle. It was.”
O’Hara: “You’re right. Look, you’re only saying what we are all thinking.
Cundy: “It was a terrible spectacle. Two teams trying to find some form. I don’t know how these two teams, I don’t know what’s in store for them.
O’Hara: “Well they are 13 points below Celtic in the SPFL and you can see why.”
Cundy: “Yeah, I don’t know what the future holds for them this season. Man United are big enough, right? They’ll come out of it. Rangers. they’ve got enough money, they’ll come out of it but I don’t know at what level. That was that was that was a stink fest of a game.”
O’Hara: “Yeah, I agree.”
This kind of conversation always comes up whenever Scottish sides face English clubs in European competition but usually it’s the opposite way around.
Typically, the argument centers on whether Celtic or Rangers could compete in the Premier League, with commentators in the south typically treating both teams with contempt.
Additionally surprising is the fact that Cundy typically takes the lead in Scottish football, so it’s pleasant to hear him say this.
After Brendan Rodgers made it through the group rounds of Europe’s top competition, Celtic supporters are confident that their team can compete with some of the finest in the continent.
Supporters of United will have to accept that, for the time being, they may look forward to the draw in Europe’s second-tier competition in addition to being predicted to finish second in the Scottish League.
