Scott Brown feels Celtic are still in control of the Scottish Premiership title battle, despite Rangers closing the gap to five points this weekend.
Kilmarnock stunned Brendan Rodgers’ team with a late goal on Sunday.Rangers overcame Dundee 3-1 on Saturday and have a game in hand, giving them the opportunity to narrow the gap on the current leaders.
Former Celtic player Brown claims that despite the gap, he expects Rodgers and his players to revive their form soon.
“There’s always going to be a little [blip] but good teams bounce back,” Brown told Sky Sports Football on Sunday (10 December, 02:30pm). “That’s what Brenden’s got and he’ll have them fired up for Hearts, I’m sure.
“It’ll be a huge game for him and he’ll make sure they get out of the traps, score goals and show that they are a top-quality team.“There are five points in it and I know there’s a game in hand for Rangers but Celtic are still in a good position.”
It’s in Rangers’ hands now.
If they can win this game in hand and then win the Old Firm derby at the end of December, they’ll be top of the table provided they don’t drop any points elsewhere.
Rangers are admittedly not playing amazingly well right now.
However, they are still picking up wins in the Scottish Premiership and grinding out results, such as the one against Dundee when they went down to 10 men.
Celtic are dropping points against the likes of Killie and Motherwell yet they have tougher games coming up against Hearts and Rangers.
It was nice to see Brown so upset after that defeat on Sunday with Kris Boyd smirking beside him.
We need to see some more of that please, Sky!
