The Rangers circus continued this week after interim Rangers chairman, John Gilligan, spoke about Celtic this week.
Taking in his first press conference, on top of clamping Dave King, Gilligan said that the balance of power in Scotland always sways between Celtic and Rangers at some point as he suggests that the Ibrox club will eventually become champions.
Well, I don’t know what Gilligan was drinking from The Loving Cup to make him say that but one look at Celtic’s trophy history will tell you that that statement is simply not true.
And it didn’t wash with the BBC’s Tom English either.
Celtic pose a ‘huge, huge, problem’ for Rangers
English said (The Scottish Football Podcast), “It’s the way it used to be. That’s old-school thinking, right? Celtic have won 12 of the last 13 league titles.
“They’re going to win 13 out of 14 this season by pretty much everyone’s estimation. I don’t know how many in a row they’re going to win in this block of league titles.
“But it could be getting up towards nine. I don’t know. I don’t want to be fatalistic from a Rangers perspective, but it could. Celtic are holding all the aces here.
“So that kind of thing, ‘Oh, well, Celtic are ahead for a while, and then Rangers….’, it’s not true anymore. And Rangers have to face up to that and do something about it.
“I don’t want to use the word crisis because Dave King used it, but there is something existential going on here with Rangers. It’s a huge, huge problem for them.”
It really was a bizarre statement to come away with and it was one I am pretty sure even the Rangers fans don’t believe.
But let Gilligan think that because the more he waits for something to happen instead of actually doing anything, Celtic will continue to hoover up trophies and dominate his basket-case of a club.
