“It’s not so much about defence, but how many goals you score,” Butcher told Shoot. “It is is okay racking up goals against teams in the bottom six like Rangers have, but they have got to improve their statistics around the clubs that are in and competing around the top five. It is goals that count.
“Rangers seem to win games by the odd goal, they don’t seem to win by two or three goals like Celtic do. I think they sent that signal out right from the first game, that they meant business and to make a positive start and score a load of goals.”
