Former Rangers midfielder Joey Barton seems to mock Ibrox club’s bitter rivals Celtic, currently managed by Brendan Rodgers.
Celtic may be creating history in Scotland, but former Rangers and Newcastle United midfielder Joey Barton does not seem to rate them highly.
The Bhoys went unbeaten in Scotland last season, and there is a very good chance that they will repeat their heroics during the 2017-18 campaign.
The Hoops have gone 62 games unbeaten in Scotland, equalling their own record set way back in 1917, as reported by The Scottish Sun.
True, Celtic have the best squad in Scotland and are head and shoulders above the rest of the teams, but it is still a remarkable achievement.
Former Rangers and Newcastle midfielder Barton, though, does not seem to rate the Hoops too highly and appears to have dismissed it.
As quoted by The Scottish Sun, Barton said about Celtic’s 62-game unbeaten run: “I know Sunday League teams that have managed that.”
While Celtic do not face a great level of competition in Scotland, the fact is that it is not easy for any team to go through an entire season unbeaten.
The Glasgow giants look set to win the Scottish Premiership title this season, and one should not be surprised if they claim the Scottish League Cup and the Scottish Cup as well.
