Kenny Dalglish admits he cannot envisage a Celtic title collapse that would hand new Rangers boss Michael Beale what he wants this season.
The new Light Blues gaffer did not rule out a revived title challenge from his side, who sit nine points behind their rivals going in to a crucial second half of the season at Ibrox. The World Cup break has offered the Englishman the chance to reacquaint himself with surroundings at Rangers and will face a day of judgement on December 15 against Hibernian when league action resumes.
But Postecoglou's mantra remains clear, with the Hoops boss already preparing for the consequences of potential big-name exits in the January window by recruiting the likes of Yuki Kobayashi and Alistair Johnson. And it is this 'cohesion' that Liverpool legend Dalglish believes put Celtic firmly in line to retain their crown.
