Rangers: Steven Pressley delivers ‘Convincing’ verdict amid Scottish Premiership title race…
Steven Pressley, unconvinced by the Hoops, is certain that Rangers will defeat Celtic to win the Scottish Premiership this year.
After defeating St Johnstone 3-0 on Sunday, February 18, the Gers moved up to the top of the standings, surpassing Brendan Rodgers’ team.
Since taking over as manager at Ibrox in October, Philippe Clement has overseen a dramatic ascent, and the former Rangers and Celtic defender thinks they have what it takes to win the championship.
“I think, at this moment, if you were to ask me to put my neck on the line, I would say that Rangers will win the title this year,” Pressley stated in a statement made on Thursday, February 22, via PLZ Soccer.
Nothing from the other side of the city has persuaded me. They haven’t, in my opinion, been persuasive in any way during this campaign.
“And now I see a Rangers side that are very much united and focused and have great momentum at this moment in time. They’re in pole position and I don’t see them giving it up.”
Will Rangers win the trophy for the Scottish Premiership?
Taking everything into account, Pressley may have been right when he made his prognosis. Furthermore, it is reasonable to believe that he has no favorites because he has represented both teams in the Old Firm rivalry.
However, that could definitely change, with Rangers looking in fine form and Celtic lagging behind in recent weeks after 1-1 draws with Aberdeen and Kilmarnock.
It would take another turn of events for Clement not to raise the Scottish Premiership trophy this season, considering he has only lost one competitive match as manager at Ibrox.
There are few matches that could trip up either team, but that is not to say it is completely impossible, especially after Celtic’s dropped points in February.
