Rangers manager Steven Gerrard

Former Ibrox midfielder Derek Ferguson has suggested on Open Goal that Steven Gerrard’s Rangers will not be able to catch Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic.

The former Rangers star does not think that Celtic will lose three more games in the Scottish Premiership this season.

Rangers are second in the Scottish Premiership table at the moment with 52 points from 26 matches, as many as eight points behind leaders and bitter Old Firm rivals Celtic.

Ferguson believes that Celtic will go on to win the league title this season in Scotland.

Ferguson said on Open Goal when asked if Celtic will lose three matches in the league this season: “To be honest, not, not really.”

Title challenge

Celtic are on a roll in Scotland, and having been knocked out of the Europa League, the Glasgow giants will now have more time and energy to focus on the Scottish Premiership.

Rangers do have a strong team, but Steven Gerrard’s side have been affected by inconsistency and failure to score in some matches.

While it is hard to see Celtic to lose three matches, the Bhoys are bound to drop points, and Rangers should keep on winning their games to pile on the pressure on their Old Firm rivals.
