Celtic are well clear of Rangers at the moment.
There is a gap. One look at the Premiership table tells you that and the outcome at Hampden on Sunday is not going to change that fact. You only need to go back 12 months for evidence of that. Rangers won the Scottish Cup semi-final against Celtic last season and went on to secure the trophy after reaching a European final into the bargain. At that stage last summer’s talk was all about them becoming top dogs again.
Fast forward a year and the chat remains the same – new manager, same rhetoric. Every time Rangers lose an Old Firm game we’re told we’ll see the real Rangers the next time. And while Ange Postecoglou appears to have a laser vision when it comes to Celtic, there is too much looking over the fence from those at Ibrox. Talk of closing gaps and getting closer to their rivals is all you seem to hear these days from Ibrox.
