Ally McCoist believes Michael Beale has already closed the gap on Celtic with the Rangers boss boasting an 'absolutely excellent' league record so far.
The Light Blues boss is still unbeaten in the Scottish Premiership since taking over from Giovanni van Bronckhorst at Ibrox with his only defeat on his CV coming against Ange Postecoglou's side in the League Cup Final. His only dropped points in the Premiership are against the Hoops with the champions firing a late leveller at Ibrox through Kyogo Furuhashi.
Rangers hero McCoist believes the 42-year-old has already chipped away at the gap and hopes he will get plenty of time to make changes and build his own team and squad. He said: "I definitely think the gap's closed. [The] League Cup Final, there wasn't a lot in it, Celtic probably just the better team. The league game at Ibrox, Celtic started well but Rangers should have won the game.
