Danny Murphy said on talkSPORT (11:28am, January 4, 2021) that Steven Gerrard’s Rangers winning the title ahead of Neil Lennon’s Celtic would be good for Scottish football.
The former Liverpool midfielder, who played with Rangers manager Gerrard at Anfield, believes that Celtic winning the title season after season was getting boring.
Celtic have won the league title in Scotland for the past nine seasons, but Rangers look set to clinch the championship this campaign.
The Gers got the better of the Hoops 1-0 at Ibrox in the Old Firm derby at the weekend and are now as many as 19 points clear at the top.
However, Celtic do have three games in hands, and there are also Old Firm derbies left to be played.
Murphy said on talkSPORT (11:28am, January 4, 2021): “I think he (Gerrard) is quietly confident. I think with Gary Mc alongside him, they will get the job done, and I think they will have learned from last year’s mistakes.
“I think it’s great actually for Scottish football irrelevant of allegiance. It was becoming somewhat boring and tedious, wasn’t it? It’s great for Scottish football.”
Title race over?
Rangers have been very consistent this season, and even without playing well in some matches, they have picked up wins and points.
However, there is still a lot of football to be played, and Celtic’s chances should not be dismissed right now.
True, the Hoops have a huge task ahead, but if the Glasgow giants are able to go on a winning run and Rangers have a bad spell, then they will be right back in the title race.
