Rangers provided the entertainment on Saturday, as Celtic often does. However, the Glasgow side’s recent struggles have been a far cry from their dominant performances at Celtic Park earlier in the season. After a thrilling win at their arch-rivals’ home, Rangers were quickly brought back down to earth, and their recent loss to Hibernian at Ibrox is a testament to their inconsistent form.
The defeat marked Rangers’ sixth consecutive loss at home in all competitions, while Hibernian extended their unbeaten league run to 16 matches. Chris Sutton, never one to mince words, took to social media to mock Rangers’ struggles, asking, “How did Bazball go today?” – a clear dig at interim manager Barry Ferguson.
Meanwhile, Celtic are on the cusp of winning their record-equaling 55th title, with Ferguson reportedly “raging” at the prospect of his team missing out on the championship. Ferguson expressed his frustration after the loss to Hibernian, saying, “I’m angry, really angry… I want to see more aggression in our play, and I never saw it.” The contrast between the two teams’ fortunes couldn’t be more stark, with Celtic set to celebrate their title win – initially planned for Perth – and Rangers struggling to find their footing under Ferguson.
