Andy Gray hits back at Richard Keys with new Rangers and Celtic jibe
Andy Gray has hit back at Richard Keys with a fresh Rangers jibe on Saturday 11 November after an Ange Postecoglou debate got heated live on air.
After the Australian made it two Premier League defeats in a row for Tottenham against Wolves, Keys argued that his style worked in Scotland as criticism emerged.
Gray insisted that it would work at Rangers or Celtic in the Scottish Premiership, suggesting you can get away with the high-risk style against the likes of Kilmarnock.
Speaking live on beIN Sports via the Daily Record on Saturday [11 November], Gray hit out at the blue side of Glasgow too for whatever reason.
“Scotland, that’s Celtic or Rangers, you know that. He might have got away with that against Kilmarnock or someone like that but he won’t get away with it in the Premier League.
“I like what he’s done with Tottenham. He won’t get away with defending that high, that loosely, with 11 vs 11 never mind 11 vs nine. They’ll pick their pocket.”
Unnecessary.
Let’s not bring Rangers into this debate as Ange starts to feel the pressure of the Premier League, regardless of what he did during his time in Scotland.
This argument started looking at Tottenham, and the difference in competitions, but there is only one club who actually performs outside of Scotland and that is Rangers.
European football has been a mystery to crack for the other side of Glasgow, no matter who is in charge, but the Bears have been smashing it consistently.
Philippe Clement does not get involved with the media nor does he give much away, with Postecoglou potentially getting drawn into the bright lights and speaking out too much before it comes crumbling down.
Keys and Gray can stick to England and the Premier League, Rangers and Scotland do not need to be mentioned, especially in this context.
With a tricky trip to Livingston coming up, all attention will be on that one.
In other Rangers news, a BBC pundit has claimed that a Gers first-team player will jump at the chance to leave Ibrox as a transfer story has emerged recently.
