5 emphatic Celtic camp roars that Rangers will see as boasts as Philippe Clement looks out the blu tack
The amount of work completed since Tuesday night’s Ibrox visitors were last in Govan can be used to gauge Philippe
over Rangers in September of last year dealt the fatal blow to Michael Beale’s dismal reign. The Light Blues now
behind Celtic by seven points. Even with St Mirren leading by three points, the Ibrox board decided to give up 24 hours after that loss because it was too much.
It would have been difficult for even the most devoted Rangers supporter to argue that their team should win the
league this year, but things have changed in just four months after that setback. Rangers would take the Premiership
lead for the first time in TWO YEARS if they defeated the Dons by three goals or more. Veteran English manager Neil
Warnock is expected to be in the red corner for the Dons when they travel south.
This will be Clement’s 16th league game in charge, and he has transformed the team with an amazing record of 14
victories, 1 draw, and only one loss—against Celtic. He has benefited from a lull in the Hoops offense, as Brendan
Rodgers’ team surrendered 12 points in the same time frame. Many people, including Parkhead residents and former
players who are now pundits, continue to doubt Rangers’ ability in light
of their early-season troubles and two Old Firm derby losses.
making that opinion change. Rangers were criticized for having too much talk and not enough evidence to support it
during Celtics’ supremacy, especially under the Beale period (see Todd Cantwell’s nuanced 56 Instagram post on the

Gers in the Brown stuff?
When Celtic icon Scott Brown leads his Ayr United team to Ibrox on Saturday afternoon for their Scottish Cup fifth
round match, tea time, fans may be reminded of his assertion that his former team was virtually certain to win the
championship. Brown had discussed the title race and knew without a doubt how it would turn out before accepting
the job at Somerset Park. “I’m confident that Celtic will win the league,” he stated. “I believe that Celtic, particularly
the front three, are the superior squad overall. Compared to Rangers, they appear more capable of scoring goals.
They appear to have more legs all over the field, and their midfielders and defenders are undoubtedly superior.”
Mac the Knife
After Celtic won the derby at Parkhead, Callum McGregor took a vicious jab at Rangers. The skipper is measured
when addressing the media, but when he addressed gamblers in a hospitality suite, he let down a little bit, and social
media caught wind of it. He claimed that the Light Blues “hadn’t played anyone” during an earlier unbeaten streak
under Clement and that they “don’t deal with intensity” and “very quickly start to unravel” when pressured. It
revealed a genuine understanding of the Celtics’ true feelings toward
their opponents and was brutally honest.
Lennon says Celts drive Gers mental
The Ibrox team lacks the attitude, according to Neil Lennon, to unseat Celtic’s Premiership dominance. The
Irishman declared: “If they want to win the league, they need to break that hold
that Celtic have over them. They still don’t have that mentality.”
