Neil McCann in blistering Rangers defence as combined Celtic XI claim receives spiky on air response

Unimpressed Neil McCann has shut down claims that NO Rangers player would make it into a combined XI with Celtic despite a slump in form for Gio van Bronckhorst's side.

It's been a tough period for the Ibrox side having slumped to three consecutive defeats to Celtic, Ajax and Napoli with 11 goals shipped by The Light Blues ahead of their clash with Scottish Premiership strugglers Dundee United. Meanwhile, Ange Postecoglou's men have surged five points clear at the top of the table and claimed their first point of the Champions League group stage in midweek against Shakhtar Donesk.

The contrasting early season fortunes between the two sides sparked a debate on BBC Sportsound if any Rangers player would manage to make it into the Celtic starting line-up. Former Rangers star McCann wouldn't accept any takes that no player from the Ibrox dressing room would make the cut for an Old Firm select team.
