Rangers favourite identifies key title race advantage over Celtic
With an amazing 5-0 victory over Hearts on Sunday, Rangers retained their two-point lead atop the Scottish Premiership. However, they will have a difficult test ahead of them tonight as they attempt to further solidify their hold on the top spot against Kilmarnock.
As the team approaches the last part of the season, Philippe Clement’s team has had an incredible run since the Belgian’s arrival and are now favorites to win the Scottish Premiership championship in May. The race will undoubtedly be fierce and come down to the wire, but former Gers player Andy Halliday has identified the main factor that makes him think they will defeat Celtic in May.
“I believe that the three January recruits Rangers have made could be the difference in where the title is headed. I thought we saw that in full effect on Saturday against Hearts” explained Halliday on Clyde 1’s Superscoreboard.
The Gers January recruits were all impressive in the weekend thrashing of Hearts as Mohamed Diomande, Fabio Silva and Oscar Cortes all got on the scoresheet during the Ibrox victory which kept them two points clear of Celtic heading into this evening’s midweek fixtures. Halliday believes the club’s transfer window was superior to that of their Old Firm counterparts and that will be what sets the side’s apart in the closing throws of the campaign.
“The impact of Diomande and Cortes in the starting eleven has been a revelation added to the squad. Fabio Silva and (Cyriel) Dessers seem to be doing the ham and egg role perfectly well where one comes in and scores a goal, gets rested in the next game and the other one comes in and scores a goal as well” added the current Motherwell star.
