Rangers should seek to use Celtic’s current predicament as momentum.
The Gers have made a fantastic start to life under Steven Gerrard and are yet to lose under the Liverpool legend.
The 38-year-old has been busy in the transfer market and has made 11 new signings since taking up the hot seat in May.
He has also placed a great emphasis on getting his crop of players super fit and that has evidently aided the defensive side of things.
By contrast, Celtic are having an iffy time of things at the moment.
Brendan Rodgers has expressed his frustration at the lack of investment from the Hoops board, as quoted by the Belfast Telegraph.
Odsonne Edouard came in permanently for a club-record £9 million, but Scott Bain and Emiliano Izaguirre arrived on free transfers.
There is also supposedly some unhappiness surrounding the behaviour of defender Dedryck Boyata.
The Belgian defender was ‘unavailable’ for the crunch Champions League qualifying match, and teammates are said feel unhappy with him for ‘going on strike’, as reported by the Scottish Sun.
Rangers should capitalise
Surely Rangers have to take real heart from Celtic’s current predicament and seek to use it as momentum.
The Bhoys lost to Hearts in the Scottish Premiership last weekend, and were then dumped out of the Champions League by AEK Athens.
It’s time for Rangers to use their rivals’ difficult period as fuel; head into the next handful of games full of confidence that under Gerrard, there is genuine potential for the tide to turn – especially after getting past Maribor in Europa League qualifying.
