Football finance expert Kieran Maguire believes Celtic blew a chance to secure a stranglehold on Scottish football by failing to take full of advantage of Rangers’ time in the lower leagues.
Maguire reckons the Parkhead side should have done more to put a bigger gap between the and their rivals which would have made the Ibrox side’s historic league title win under Steven Gerrard impossible. The Light Blues were sent to the bottom tier of Scottish football following their financial implosion in 2012 but worked their way back through the leagues and claimed the title in time to stop Celtic’s historic bid for a 10th consecutive title.
Rangers also managed a Scottish Cup semi-final win over Celtic four years after embarking on their journey back from the bottom. And Maguire, speaking as a guest on the The Huddle Breakdown podcast, said they should have put the foot down and pulled away so far that the Ibrox side couldn’t have caught them.
