‘Someone should tell him’: Some Celtic fans hit back at Rangers man’s comments on Hoops
A number of Celtic fans have hit back at Nikola Katic’s claim that Glasgow Rangers would have brought the title to Ibrox last season had they played Neil Lennon’s Hoops every week.
Rangers were much improved in the first half of the 2019-20 campaign following a number of shrewd acquisitions in the summer.
Indeed, Steven Gerrard’s charges went into the winter break having beaten their rivals 2-1 at Parkhead and very much playing the Bhoys off the park on that occasion.
After football resumed in January, however, the Ibrox side’s domestic form collapsed, while Celtic were relentless in seeing off their league opponents.
By the time Scottish football was suspended, the Hoops sat 13 points clear at the top of the table and were eventually crowned champions of Scotland for the ninth year in a row.
“In the league, Celtic have been champions for years, but we matched them very well last season before we fell away after the break,” Katic is quoted by the as saying.
“I feel we are at least on their level… if we had played every game last season against Celtic, we would be champions. Against them, we were always playing at a high standard.
“In the cup final, we were impossibly good against Celtic, but just couldn’t score.”
Some Celtic fans sought to remind Katic that, aside from the fact league football doesn’t work that way, Rangers lost two out of the three encounters between the two last season:
Aw no, now they’ve carried off the ‘hypothetical play Celtic every week’ trophy ?

When will they shut up and just get on with it. Someone should tell him it would help to beat Hamilton at home and the way too win the league is to get more points

Another pointless statement from the rangers clan…. nothing to show for it, this just shows the mentality of the rangers players only try and turn up again Celtic & then when it comes to being consistent throughout a full season beating the smaller teams they can’t do it.Simple

Small teams always raise the bar when playing the champions ????

Except there were 3 Glasgow derbies and Celtic won 2 of them.

Did they not lose 2 out of 3 games against Celtic last season?
