Chris Sutton predicts Rangers clash v Braga, issues Celtic treble verdict
Chris Sutton believes that neither Rangers nor Celtic will win all three Old Firm derbies that are set to take place in the coming weeks.
Gers are keeping up the pace on the Hoops in the title race and are also competing for European honours.
They’re set to take on Braga in the Europa League quarterfinals and Sutton expects them to go through to the semis.
He wrote in the Daily Record, “They are in with a chance this year and that’s more than most expected.
“The cup double would still be a success. A league and cup double would be remarkable and the treble would be absolutely sensational.
“I don’t know how the triple-header with Rangers will go but I can’t see either side winning all three games.
“I can predict plenty of drama and that’s great news for Scottish football, as is Rangers progressing in Europe.”
Win all three?
Doing a triple over them is certainly not going to be beyond reach for Rangers.
They’ve got the better players and a superior manager who embodies the club ethos.
Sure, they’ve dropped points along the way but that’s down to complacency and nothing else.
They’ve shown with their wins against big teams in Europe that they’re not a force to be reckoned with.
Beating Celtic in the league would almost certainly mean that they’re in the driver’s seat for the title and will be on course to lift number 56.
In other Rangers news, the club may sign a Dutch international to replace Allan McGregor and the keeper’s contract also expires in the summer.
