Alan Stubbs says Ally McCoist was wrong to say Rangers have closed the gap on Celtic - and predicted the Hoops will soon leave them in the dust.
Ange Postecoglou is chasing a domestic clean sweep with the Hoops currently nine points in front of their fierce rivals in their bid for two-in-a-row and the sides due to meet in the league at Parkhead in the second Scottish Premiership fixture after the International break. They will also clash in the Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden where Celtic came out on top in the Viaplay Cup final. Ibrox strike legend McCoist said the gap is closing, though, under Michael Beale.
But Stubbs disagrees and he told Grosvenor Sport : “The score in the League Cup Final was 2-1 but the game wasn’t as tight as that. Celtic were pretty much in control of that game. I see Coisty was saying that the gap isn’t that big but I’m not so sure. There’s a nine-point in the League and it’s been that way for a while. The teams meet on April 8 and if, as I expect, Celtic win that game it becomes 12.
