Celtic foresaw Rangers chaos as journo reveals what he ‘keeps being told’
Rangers fans are loving the chaos at Celtic right now, but it is not all rosy on the blue half of Glasgow.
Dermot Desmond released a ridiculous statement after Brendan Rodgers’ exit, and Martin O’Neill has been placed in charge for now.
The row is ultimately down to spending, Rodgers claimed publicly that the club let him down in terms of transfers, but Desmond has hit back.
While Ibrox supporters may be laughing at the scenes, they will have to face a brutal reality after a new reveal about the Parkhead club.
Rangers chaos was always on the cards, Celtic knew it
Rangers have had a dismal start to the season, and Celtic knew that it would happen, and spent accordingly.
Alex Crook claims that he was told that the Hoops held back on their spending in the summer because they believed the Gers would not be contenders.
Speaking on talkSPORT (10:19 am), he said: “There is plenty of money in the bank [at Celtic]. I keep being told the reason for that is because they foresaw what was going to happen at Rangers.
“They realised they weren’t really going to be much of a threat to their status as champions, but they did not account for what Hearts are doing.

Celtic stance is a damning indictment of the 49ers at Rangers
The fact that Celtic’s decision makers felt like they could reduce their spending and still beat the Light Blues to the league title is worrying.
It is ultimately what has led to Rodgers’ departure, but it is also a damning indictment of the 49ers Enterprises group and Andrew Cavenagh, as they clearly believed that they would not provide any danger.
That has been proven right so far, the new majority ownership in Govan has had a nightmare start to their time in Scottish football.
They hired Russell Martin in their first major move, and he was dismissed just four months in, and they made a mess of the transfer window.
The Bears sit fifth in the Scottish Premiership, five points behind the Hoops and 13 adrift of league leaders Hearts, after a miserable start to the campaign.
Now, they need to prove their arch-rivals wrong, with the appointment of Danny Rohl and turn the situation around.
They can still have the last laugh if they can finish above last season’s champions, then they will make that stance that Crook has heard look silly, and leave their rivals even more embarrassed.
