The Scottish Premiership table reflects a significant gap between Celtic and Rangers, with Celtic holding a 13-point lead over their rivals despite their recent 1-0 defeat to St Johnstone. The financial disparity between the two clubs is also notable, with Celtic’s transfer policies and financial resources far outstripping those of Rangers.
The debate about the gap between the two clubs continues, and now St Mirren star Marcus Fraser has shared his thoughts on the matter. Fraser, who has played against both Celtic and Rangers throughout his career, believes that there is a clear gap between the two teams.
“Celtic are just winners and know how to get over the line at every opportunity,” Fraser said. “That’s one thing I don’t think Rangers have done well enough over the last few seasons.” Fraser attributes Celtic’s success to their mentality and the leadership of manager Brendan Rodgers, who has a proven track record of winning.
Fraser also highlights Celtic’s squad depth as a major advantage, allowing them to bring on fresh players who can make a difference in big games. “It always seems to be 70 minutes and they bring two or three subs on that just freshens up the full team and gives them that extra bit to go and win the game,” Fraser added.
In contrast, Rangers lack a manager with the same level of experience and success as Rodgers. Fraser’s comments suggest that Celtic’s mental toughness and squad depth are key factors in their success, and that Rangers need to address these areas if they want to close the gap.
