Jackie McNamara in confident Rangers title write off but Celtic legend warns against 'free hit' mentality

Jackie McNamara reckons Celtic will seal the Scottish Premiership title if they see off Rangers on Saturday - but has warned the Parkhead stars against considering the game a "free hit"

Ange Postecoglou’s league leaders are nine points clear of bitter rivals Rangers heading into the hotly-anticipated clash, having lost just once so far in the league this season. The Hoops have held bragging rights over their Glasgow rivals so far this term, and Michael Beale is searching for his first victory over Celtic after Rangers failed to stop the Parkhead side lifting the Viaplay Cup after their league draw back in January.

Postecoglou is on course for a domestic clean sweep with a Treble firmly in the thoughts of the Parkhead support, and former captain McNamara reckons that even if Rangers claim three points at Celtic Park a league title fightback would be a big ask. However, the confident Scotland cap reckons his old team need to go in with the right attitude to land a knockout title race blow.
