Tam McManus makes brand new Rangers prediction after Celtic stinker today
According to Tam McManus, Rangers are now the favourites to win the SPFL for the “first time all season”
after Celtic let up more points against Kilmarnock.
On February 17, after David Watson’s equaliser in the 92nd minute kept the Hoops in a 1-1 draw at home,
the former Hibs forward responded on Twitter.
It leaves the door open for Rangers to go clear at the top with a win at St Johnstone a day later,
and McManus believes the “resurgent” Light Blues have too much for Brendan Rodgers’ stuttering side on current
evidence while questioning the Parkhead boss.
“I wonder if the manager will now point to 8 wins and 2 draws in the last 10 in his next press conference,
” McManus said. “Celtic can’t say that hadn’t been coming.”
“That won’t be good enough against a Rangers team that is, for the first time this season,
the overwhelming favourite to win the league.”
Rangers can go clear at top of SPFL vs St Johnstone
Even before Celtic stumbled again the momentum was already said to be firmly behind the Light Blues now,
and having come into the weekend level on both points and goal difference the door is now wide open to seize the initiative.
The opportunity existed prior to the midweek match against Ross County, with considerable attention focused on the mere
three goals scored from an enormous amount of attempts, despite George Wickens playing brilliantly in goal.
In the few seasons that Ange Postecoglou’s team has lost, the Rangers from the Giovanni van Bronckhorst
and Michael Beale eras have not always been able to capitalise.
However, under Philippe Clement, there appears to be more to the present setup, even though the team is obviously not flawless.
It is imperative that Rangers follow through since a loss in the early Sunday kickoff (18 February) would now erode the
momentum that has been built up behind them.
