Celtic may be trailing this season but they recently completed a quadruple treble
Celtic fans have responded angrily to Alex Rae’s claims that he’s “never seen a team be so dominant”.
He was referring to his former club Rangers, who maintained their unbeaten record in this season’s Premiership with a 1-0 win against St Johnstone at Ibrox on Wednesday night.
The victory means Steven Gerrard’s men have restored their 23-point advantage at the top of the table, having dropped just six points in 27 games this season.
Rae, who won the title under Alex McLeish at Rangers in 2005, sang the current crop’s praises in an interview with BBC Scotland’s The Nine.
The former Sunderland and Wolves midfielder said: “I think that’s 21 clean sheets in total. It’s only seven goals (conceded) in 27 games, and I think that’s the foundation.
“I think Steven Gerrard’s identified that in the summer. They’ve done a lot of good work and they look so solid, and even when they do breach the backline they’ve got a guy in Allan McGregor who time after time pulls off phenomenal saves.
“But we’re just passed two thirds of the way through and I’ve never seen a team be so dominant.
“I think they’ve dropped six points. So I think in all aspects, all statistics, Rangers are very strong at the moment.
“They’ll be looking to continue. They probably want to go through the season undefeated now, in terms of the league campaign.”
Unsurprisingly, those comments didn’t sit well with Celtic supporters, who have watched their side win the last nine league titles.
The current champions recently sealed a quadruple treble with victory in the Scottish Cup Final against Hearts, and in 2016/17 went through a whole domestic season unbeaten.
