Rod Stewart leaves Alan Brazil baffled with surprise Rangers prediction
Rangers may have a chance of overtaking Celtic in the William Hill Premiership, Rod Stewart says.
Wilfried Nancy is reminding many of Russell Martin, with the former Columbus Crew boss seemingly hell-bent on his philosophy despite a dip in form at Parkhead.
The Gers are currently just three points behind their Old Firm rivals, albeit they’ve played one more game, as Hearts sit comfortably at the top of the table for now.
Danny Rohl has continued his unbeaten run at Ibrox, winning six and drawing two of his eight league games in charge of the Light Blues, and reigniting hopes of a title charge in G51.
Alan Brazil can’t believe Rod Stewart claim about Rangers and Celtic
Stewart, who is a Celtic fan, believes the Gers have a chance of going ahead of their Old Firm rivals due to the crisis at Parkhead.
Nancy has lost his first three games in charge of the Hoops, leaving the door open for Rohl to take advantage at Ibrox.
The rock legend’s statement didn’t go down well with Alan Brazil, who couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
Speaking on talkSPORT, when Ally McCoist asked whether Hearts could go all the way, Stewart said, “Of course, they could. If we carry on like we carry on, I think you could actually overtake us,” and Brazil responded, “No, Rod.”
Nancy risks getting sacked at Parkhead sooner rather than later, but fans in G51 will certainly love for the Frenchman to stay as long as he can.
The Light Blues have a crunch tie against Derek McInnes’ team next at Tynecastle Park on 21 December, and a win for the visitors could potentially have huge implications in the title race.
Danny Rohl can get Wilfried Nancy the sack after one development
Comparisons with Martin aren’t flattering for Nancy, with the former Southampton boss sacked after just 123 days in charge of the Gers.
Rangers may be able to drive the final nail in the coffin at Parkhead on 3 January as they face Celtic in the William Hill Premiership.
| Team | Matches played | Points |
| 1. Hearts | 17 | 38 |
| 2. Celtic | 15 | 32 |
| 3. Rangers | 16 | 29 |
| 4. Motherwell | 17 | 27 |
If the French manager remains in charge of the Hoops until then and subsequently loses the Old Firm Derby, Dermot Desmond will surely be in for a reckoning from supporters.
While the Light Blues started the season as the laughing stock in Scotland, Celtic are making sure they overtake the Ibrox outfit in that regard.
