Former Rangers chairman Dave King has told STV that Celtic are better than how they are playing at the moment, but he hopes that Steven Gerrard’s win the title.

King has praised Rangers and believes that the Gers have been dominant so far this season.

The former Rangers chairman told STV about Rangers winning the league title this season: “I’m certainly hopeful. I think Celtic are better than they are playing, I think their squad is better.

“It will be interesting to see whether they have any managerial changes and whether a new person, if they did come in, gives them a boost or doesn’t give them a boost.

“I think there’s a lot of uncertainty, let’s say, on the Celtic side, as to how they’re going to be for the rest of the season. But if I look at it purely from a Rangers perspective, they’ve looked dominant.”

Celtic situation

Celtic have failed to progress to the knockout rounds of the Europa League and also been knocked out of the Scottish League Cup this season.

The Hoops are 11 points behind leaders and bitter Old Firm rivals Rangers in second place in the Scottish Premiership table at the moment, although they do have two games in hand.

Manager Neil Lennon has come under pressure, with some Celtic fans protesting against him and want the club to dismiss him.

Title race not over

It is only the start of December, and while Celtic are going through a bad spell, given that they have won the past nine league titles and have some very good players, such as Scott Brown and Odsonne Edouard, they are likely to take the title race down to the final week(s).
