Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers are nowhere near Scottish Premiership rivals Celtic at the moment, and Dave King has amused fans of the Parkhead side.

Celtic fans have mocked Dave King on Twitter after the Rangers chairman’s latest comments.

Quoted by The Record, King suggested that Rangers only need to win one Scottish Premiership title to collapse Celtic’s empire like a “pack of cards.”

When asked about how the Gers can bridge the gap to Brendan Rodgers’s side, he said: “We appoint a manager who can win games, with more resources, and we take one league away from Celtic.

“We only need one league. We don’t need two or three. We need one. Once we take one away, it’s a pack of cards.”

The Hoops, who have won seven Premiership titles in a row, are only 90 minutes away from back-to-back domestic trebles, something that has never been achieved in Scottish football, and suffice to say that fans of the Parkhead club are amused by King’s claim.

Here is their reaction:

The man charged with the task of ending Celtic’s domination is Steven Gerrard, who was appointed as Rangers boss on a four-year deal last week.

Gerrard, 37, has no previous experience in managing a senior football team, having been working as Liverpool youth coach up until last month, and time will tell how the iconic midfielder adapts to life in the dugout at a major club.
