JUST IN: Rangers: Gary McAllister makes brand new Ibrox title admission in fresh Celtic verdict
Rangers’ former assistant manager, Gary McAllister, expressed that Rangers’ success this season will be primarily evaluated based on their performance in the Premiership. Despite securing a spot in the Scottish Cup final and winning the Viaplay Cup earlier in the season, McAllister emphasized that clinching a cup double would not suffice to be deemed successful.
He highlighted that winning the league title holds a special significance for big clubs, indicating that the focus remains on achieving success in the league. McAllister’s perspective underscores the importance of league triumphs as the ultimate measure of success for top clubs.
The outcome of the Scottish Premiership title race hinges on the upcoming match between Rangers and Celtic at Ibrox. Rangers, trailing Celtic by a single point, are eager to secure a victory, having failed to beat their rivals in previous encounters this season134
. Despite winning the Scottish League Cup without facing Celtic, Rangers are yet to triumph over them in the league34
. Celtic, on the other hand, have emerged victorious in both Premiership meetings, including a narrow win at Ibrox and a 2-1 victory at Parkhead34
. While Celtic may feel less pressure playing away from home, Rangers are determined to claim a crucial win, knowing that defeating their city rivals at Ibrox could be essential in their pursuit of the Premiership title
Most pundits are expecting Rangers to draw a blank at Parkhead and therefore hand Celtic the title, but if the Gers can somehow claim all three points, the Premiership will be back in their hands.
Hopefully, Clement will at least be able to lift the Scottish Cup at Hampden to add to his trophy cabinet in Glasgow. Two pieces of silverware in his first full season will be fairly impressive given the state the side was in when he arrived.
