Rangers have trailed behind Celtic in the Scottish Premiership this season, with 15 points separating the two teams. Although Rangers prevented Celtic from clinching the title on Sunday with a late equalizer against Aberdeen, it’s only a matter of time before the championship is officially confirmed.
Despite their domestic struggles, Rangers have excelled in the Europa League, reaching the quarterfinals against Athletic Bilbao. After a goalless draw at home, they’ll face a tough task in Spain on Thursday. The match will be a significant test for Rangers, and their performance will be closely watched.
TalkSPORT’s Jim White believes Celtic would thrive in the Championship, saying they would “definitely be in amongst it.” However, he doubts Rangers’ current team would be competitive. “The top two in Scotland would struggle to win the Championship,” a listener wrote, prompting White to respond, “I don’t think so somehow. I think Celtic would definitely be in amongst it. Maybe not Rangers at this particular time, but Celtic would have a different say on that.”
White’s comments may be bookmarked by Rangers fans, especially with the 49ers Enterprises potentially taking over the club. New ownership could bring increased spending and investment, potentially allowing Rangers to compete with Celtic again and change the dynamics between the two teams.
If the takeover is successful, Rangers could look to strengthen their squad and become more competitive domestically and in Europe. The prospect of new investment has generated excitement among Rangers supporters, who are eager to see their team challenge for major honors again.
