Simon Jordan, a claims that Philippe Clement, the manager of Rangers, is “an equal” of Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers and that the Belgian has given the Old Firm title competition an extra advantage.With both teams losing their most recent league games—the Gers falling to Motherwell and Celtic losing to Hearts at Tynecastle—the Light Blues are currently two points ahead of the Hoops in the Scottish Premiership.Although Jordan has acknowledged that Brendan Rodgers annoys him, he has also acknowledged that Clement has amazed him since coming to Glasgow, implying that Clement has forced Jordan to support Rangers in this year’s championship game.He stated, “I am quietly, without too much partisan rooting for Rangers to win the SPFL,” in a talkSPORT interview on Tuesday, March 5, at 10:08.I’m not sure why, but Brendan sometimes frustrates me, and some of his attitude at Leicester wasn’t very nice.I like to see Scottish football gain popularity and see two strong Old Firm teams contending head-to-head, turning the competition into a championship match and providing Scottish football a competitive advantage.
“I have to admit, I chuckled to myself when I saw Celtic lose because you have a really good manager in the Rangers dugout now who is on par with Celtic.”Will Rangers be able to defeat Celtic, their Old Firm rivals, in this season’s Premiership title match?
The Scottish championship race is quite well-positioned right now, and although if Rangers are the slight favourites, it would be foolish to write out Rodgers’ team because they have proven themselves on this course many times in the past.Except for Celtic, who they have lost to in both of their Old Firm matches this season—one of those losses came while Michael Beale was manager—Clement’s team has demonstrated that they are capable of defeating everyone they play this season.The remaining two Old Firm matches will probably be critical as this race comes down to the wire, therefore if the Gers want to defeat their Glasgow rivals to the title this season, they must improve their record in those games. There is still plenty of Premiership games to be played before anyone wins the trophy, but maybe Clement’s team can do their fans and Jordan proud by defeating Celtic this season.
