In a continuation of a hectic schedule, both Rangers and Celtic were in action on Wednesday. Rangers faced off against second-placed Aberdeen, resulting in a 2-1 loss under mounting pressure for boss Philippe Clement. The Ibrox side now find themselves nine points behind the leaders and trailing the Dons by the same margin, even closer to Ross County in eighth place.
Meanwhile, Celtic secured a 2-0 victory over Dundee. Both clubs are now gearing up for Premier Sports Cup semi-final matches, with Celtic taking on Aberdeen and Rangers facing Motherwell. As the two Glasgow giants prepare for their upcoming challenges, headlines continue to swirl around their recent performances.
One such headline involves former Celtic general manager Jock Brown, who has made a controversial return to Scottish football as the chairman of Hamilton Accies. Brown’s rocky history at Celtic, including his involvement in the appointment of a manager who denied Rangers 10 consecutive titles, has drawn attention to his new role with Accies.
Additionally, pundits Chris Sutton and Kris Boyd have criticized Clement’s post-match comments following Rangers’ defeat to Aberdeen. Boyd labeled the remarks as mere excuses, while Sutton accused Clement of delusion in his assessment of the team’s performance. As the pressure mounts on Clement and both clubs seek success in the upcoming cup matches, the scrutiny and headlines surrounding Rangers and Celtic only continue to grow.
