Rangers boss Steven Gerrard will know all too well about the magnanimity of the task on his hands when football reopens once again and clubs prepare for business as usual if they can put the present season behind them.
With Celtic 13 points ahead and most leagues being called off across Europe, it should not come as a surprise to any Scottish football fan out there when 2019/2020 season gets called off and Celtic are handed the title based on their ‘sporting merits’. It has happened with PSG, it is about to happen with Liverpool and it might most likely be the case here with Celtic as well.
But that’s not the concern Ranger’s fans should be having at the moment. The moment of truth comes after this when clubs start doing business with each other as Steven Gerrard and Ross Wilson start to analyse the glaring loopholes in the squad and work on delicately balancing that with the financial restrictions they will have on hand. Given the impact, Coronavirus has had on football clubs and will continue to have for as long as it exists, its something every club will have to deal with and Ranger’s shouldn’t be any different.
Being able to stop Celtic’s ten in row thing will be Steven Gerrard ‘s second-biggest footballing achievement if it so happens and it’s not hard to see why. For all the Gers out there, it is imperative that Rangers with all their might and hustle, actually end up managing to stop the Celtic bandwagon at all costs before it becomes etched permanently in the history of Scottish football for decades to come.
If the first half of the campaign is anything to go by, Rangers have actually improved by leaps and bounds since Stevie G’s takeover and really seem like the real deal. That’s what a Glasgow Rangers team looks like and December’s 2-1 win over Celtic might just have been the epitome of that.
