Joe Worrall says Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers can still beat Celtic to Scottish Premiership title.
Joe Worrall has insisted to The Scottish Sun that Rangers can still win the Scottish Premiership title this season.
Steven Gerrard’s side are eight points behind leaders Celtic as things stand, with two months left.
Rangers beat the Hoops in their last meeting in December and there are still more Old Firm derbies to come this season.
Worrall was the hero on Sunday as the Gers drew 1-1 at Aberdeen in the quarter-final of the Scottish Cup, forcing a replay at Ibrox.
And the 22-year-old defender is adamant that anything can happen on the league front, if the light Blues can build up a head of steam.
“Let’s not kid ourselves, the league is not over yet,” he told The Scottish Sun.
“There are still games to come. We’ve to play Celtic twice and there are points there to be won and lost. We want to keep that momentum going.”
Celtic fans might not admit it, perhaps in fear of tempting fate or celebrating too early, but the Premiership title race isn’t quite done and dusted yet.
The Hoops still have to weather a potential storm caused by Brendan Rodgers’s shock exit last week.
Okay so they have won both games under Neil Lennon, but they needed a last-minute winner to beat 10-man Hearts on Wednesday.
It’s very plausible that Celtic will stutter and drop points in league games. Rangers just need to make sure that they capitalise on any slip-ups that may come their way.
