Fashion Sakala has insisted Rangers are the best team in Scotland. The Zambian ace is adamant his side are the country’s top dogs - and would have had the title to prove it last year had Steven Gerrard not quit Ibrox.
The evidence this year suggests otherwise with Gers currently trailing Ange Postecoglou’s rampant Premiership favourites by nine points. But Sakala argued a Hampden victory for his side in Sunday’s Viaplay Cup final will hush the doubters and settle the debate.
In a sensational sit-down interview in which he also claimed Gers were “easy to beat” under former boss Gio van Bronckhorst, the Ibrox frontman said: “When you play against Celtic, it’s a different game. You just want to hurt them! I don’t know what’s the right word to use. We just want to see our fans happier than their fans. We just want to hurt them, to make them angry.
