Tam McManus in Celtic and Rangers century prediction as he labels five sub rule 'very unfair'

Tam McManus believes both Celtic and Rangers will score at least 100 goals this season and says the five sub rule is 'very unfair' on smaller clubs.

Ange Postecoglou and Giovanni van Bronckhorst watched on as their sides run out 5-0 and 4-0 winners this weekend against Kilmarnock and St Johnstone. Both clubs have much larger playing squads than the rest of the league and with the new rule in place this season, are able to rotate much easier with plenty of quality in both their XI's and benches.

Ex-Hibs man and pundit McManus is not a fan of the new rule as he questioned whether the gap between Celtic and Rangers with the rest of the Premiership has ever been bigger. The Old Firms rivals are three from three so far this campaign with the Hoops hitting ten goals to date with the Light Blues two back on eight.

He wrote on Twitter: "Has the gap between Celtic/Rangers and the rest ever been bigger? I said before the start of the season both will score 100 goals.

"It looks like that be achieved easily. Five sub rule is also very unfair on the smaller teams or squads.

"Head-to-head games between the two will be more crucial than ever I think."
