Barry Ferguson wins Celtic diehard over for owning up to what every Rangers fan is truly scared of – Hotline

It's Scottish Cup weekend but the upcoming Viaplay Cup Final is very much on the minds of Old Firm fans.

The Glasgow giants will collide at Hampden in two weeks and it’s Rangers fans who reckon their team can expose Ange Postecoglou’s Celtic. Martin MacDonald emailed: “Can anyone tell me ONE game, just one, where Ange has beaten a team that he wasn’t hugely advantaged financially and expected to beat?

“Similar examples to admire would be Rangers vs Dortmund, Leipzig, Porto etc. Is Angeball so limited tactically that any decent team simply outplays them? It looks that way. When an improving Rangers wins the upcoming Viaplay Cup Final, then surely the limitations of Ange’s Celtic against decent teams will be clear to see.” Alan Flett emailed: “Postecoglu is based on the fact that he wipes the floor with SPFL dross on a weekly basis but never beats anyone that he’s not expected to beat. He could muster just two points from a pretty favourable Champions League group, and was outclassed home and away by the same RB Leipzig side who were beaten by Rangers last season.”
