Celtic fans react to claims from Rangers chief.
Celtic fans are not taking comments from Rangers chairman Dave King seriously.
The Rangers supremo spoke to BBC Sport about his hopes for the upcoming season, after two successive years of failure in the top flight.
Rangers finished in third place, also behind Aberdeen, and 12 points behind Celtic – but it felt like a lot more after they were hammered by their rivals in the Scottish Cup semi-final.
King said he was disappointed that Rangers did not even mount a challenge, and hopes that new manager Steven Gerrard can address that.
He said: “Winning is what the club is really about. But you’ve got to be able to compete for the league. Rangers, very often, in prior years were maybe the best team in Scotland but didn’t always win the league.
“I think with some of the changes we’ve made we could be competitive this season.”
Rangers have made 10 signings already as new boss Steven Gerrard overhauls the squad and they have shipped out unwanted players, either on loan or permanently.
Celtic are hoping to win their eighth league title in a row after triumphing at a canter last season, and are confident of a repeat this year despite Rangers’ efforts to catch them up.
