We’re nearly midway through the season and Celtic nor Rangers can have too many regrets.

Both Old Firm rivals could progress into the knockout stages of the Europa League following excellent European campaigns so far this season.

Domestically, the Hoops sit top of the Scottish Premiership, but could be usurped by Rangers at the summit this afternoon.

All in all it’s been a pretty good season for Celtic and the Gers this season and one with few regrets – but failing to sign Harry Wilson might irk Brendan Rodgers and Steven Gerrard.

The Liverpool-owned attacker is playing out of his skin with Derby County at the moment, scoring six goals in all competitions this season – including four in three games.

Celtic were frontrunners to sign the 21-year-old on loan during the summer, but The Record, who also noted Rangers’ interest, reported that a move to Parkhead fell through after the Reds demanded a ‘hefty fee’ in the event that Wilson didn’t play regularly.

But if he’s tearing up the Championship, you have to imagine that he would’ve done the same in the Scottish Premiership and as the weeks go by it’s clear that Celtic and Rangers missed a gem.
