Roy Keane reacts to Rangers winning the Premiership, sends message to Celtic
Rangers are the Scottish Premiership winners for the 2020-21 season after Celtic were held to a goalless draw by Dundee United today. The Light Blues stopped the Hoops from winning a 10th consecutive title in impressive style, going unbeaten since the start of the campaign and landing the league’s coveted prize with six games to spare. Celtic will hope to bounce back next year, and they have to get the perfect manager to succeed Neil Lennon to have a chance of stopping their Old Firm rivals. Rangers boss Steven Gerrard will also be more than keen to defend his side’s first title in a decade, and plenty of fireworks can be expected next term. Premier League legend Roy Keane was asked for any words of celebration for the Ibrox outfit, and he took the opportunity to send a message to the Park...
Journalist praises Rangers manager, but hyperbole needs reigning in
Hyperbole – saying or writing things that make something sound much more impressive than it really is. Selected elements of the British media have long been guilty of this, particularly when it comes to their ‘favourite sons’. Former Chelsea manager Frank Lampard falls into this category, as does current Rangers boss Steven Gerrard. That point was perfectly highlighted by Telegraph journalist Henry Winter on Saturday, with this little nugget on Twitter. Those who doubted Steven Gerrard’s managerial potential ignored a few things. His will to win and work ethic, his motivational qualities and ability to find the right coaches and players plus his desire to prove himself as a manager. As always, Gerrard gives everything #RangersFC — Henry Winter (@henrywinter) March 6, 2021 Winter loves to b...
Predicted Rangers XI vs St Mirren: Gerrard to make one change, 22-yr-old set to return
Rangers host St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership later today and the Ibrox outfit could clinch the title by the end of this week with a win here. Steven Gerrard’s men are currently 18 points clear at the top of the table. If they manage to win today and Celtic lose their game against Dundee United, the title will be wrapped up by the end of the week. The home side are in spectacular form right now and they have won their last 15 home matches in the League. Furthermore, they have an impressive head to head record against today’s opposition as well and Rangers have beaten St Mirren in their last eight home games. The last time these two sides met in the league, Rangers picked up a 2-0 win away from home and they will be hoping for more of the same here. The home side had a few injury doubt...
Rangers worried that PL club’s poor season could end up affecting them in future
Liverpool have had a mediocre season by their standards in the Premier League. The Reds are currently sixth in the table with 43 points and it would be a catastrophe if they missed out on Champions League qualification. According to Football Insider, there are suggestions from within the club that the motivation levels have dropped under Jurgen Klopp and the team is lacking in fight and desire. The whispers have made Rangers chiefs nervous that the Reds could come calling for Steven Gerrard after his superb season in the Scottish Premiership. SL View: Too early to dismiss Klopp The Rangers manager has been linked with a move back to Liverpool for a while now and it will be interesting to see if the Premier League giants decide to appoint him as their manager when Klopp decides to move...
Graham Roberts shares his six word reaction to Rangers’s 1-0 win over Livingston
Rangers picked up a late win over Livingston in the Scottish Premiership earlier tonight. Colombian striker Alfredo Morelos scored the only goal of the game in the 87th minute, and Steven Gerrard’s side are now on the verge of the title. The Ibrox outfit are currently 18 points clear at the top of the table and can win the title on Sunday if they manage to beat St Mirren and Celtic drop points at Dundee United. Gerrard was unhappy with the officiating throughout the game, and he confronted referee John Beaton at half-time. His side could have easily had a penalty tonight. However, he will be relieved to have picked up all three points here. Meanwhile, former Rangers star Graham Roberts has shared his reaction to the win on social media. Get innnnnnn 55 here we come!!! — Graham Roberts...

Popular pundit hails Rangers star’s all-round game, likens him to Premier League ace
Former Premier League striker Kevin Phillips has drawn similarities between the Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos and the Tottenham Hotspur forward Harry Kane. Phillips has claimed that Morelos has improved his all-round game immensely this season, and he is now more than just a goalscorer. Premier League star Harry Kane has also evolved this term and is now one of the best creators in the side, along with his goalscoring ability. The England international has 22 goals and 14 assists this season. Morelos has shown similar growth for the Scottish outfit, and it was evident against Royal Antwerp in the last round of the Europa League. The Colombian created impressive chances for his teammates over the two legs, and he has managed to develop himself as a footballer in recent months. Phillips sa...
Predicted Rangers XI v Livingston: Gerrard to make one change, 28-yr-old set to return
Rangers travel to Livingston in the Scottish Premiership on Wednesday, and they will be hoping to close in on the title with another win. Steven Gerrard’s side are in emphatic form, having won 20 of their last 22 league matches. They have an impressive head-to-head record against Livingston, winning seven of their last eight matches. The last time these two sides met in October, Rangers picked up a comfortable 2-0 win, and the fans will be hoping for more of the same this week. Livingston head into this game on the back of just one win in five league matches, and they are the underdogs here. They will be keen to pull off an upset against the league leaders but it seems highly unlikely to happen. Rangers are unbeaten in 30 league matches this season, and they have conceded just nine goals. ...
Peter Crouch comments on Rangers chances of winning the Europa League
Rangers are potentially a few wins away from winning the Scottish Premiership this term after an unbeaten run in the campaign. Steven Gerrard’s men have won 26 games and drawn four times in 30 league fixtures this term, with 15 points between them and second-placed Celtic – who have played a game more. Rangers are also looking to go far in the Europa League after securing a berth in the last-16 following a 9-5 aggregate win over Royal Antwerp in the round of 32. The Light Blues will face Czech giants Slavia Prague in their bid to make it to the quarter-finals, and former Liverpool striker Peter Crouch has commented on their chances of going far in the competition. “The Europa League looks more winnable for our teams and I wouldn’t discount Steven Gerrard taking Rangers deep into the compet...
Rangers and Celtic want 19-yr-old attacker who is being monitored by Premier League clubs
Wigan Athletic striker Kyle Joseph has been linked with a move to Rangers and Celtic. According to Daily Mirror, Premier League side Arsenal are thought to be keen on the 19-year-old as well. Joseph has scored five goals in 14 appearances at the League One club so far this season and he will be a free agent in the summer. The 19-year-old could prove to be a solid long term signing especially on a free transfer and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. A move to Rangers or Celtic could be ideal for his development and he’s likely to get more first-team action in Scotland as compared to the Premier League. However, Arsenal are a massive club and the youngster could find it difficult to turn them down if their interest is genuine. The youngster has represented Scotland at the youth ...

Predicted Rangers XI v Royal Antwerp: Gerrard to make one change, 32-yr-old to start
Rangers take on Royal Antwerp in the Europa League tomorrow and they will be hoping to book their place in the next round of the competition. The Scottish outfit secured a 4-3 first-leg win over the Belgian side away from home and they are firm favourites to go through. Not only do they have the all-important lead in the tie, but they also have four away goals. Steven Gerrard’s side head into this game on the back of four wins in their last five matches in all competitions and are full of confidence. The Ibrox outfit have managed to step up in European games consistently this season and there is no reason why they cannot do the same once again. Meanwhile, Antwerp have failed to win their last four matches in all competitions and they will need a minor miracle to turn this tie around. Range...
