RANGERS NOW IN CONTROL.
The headline brought to you by former CELTIC player Charlie Nicholas back in January when the Ibrox club bagged a 36-year-old Jermain Defoe.
A depleted Celtic side had gone to Ibrox in December with no recognised striker and an attacking midfielder, turned defensive midfielder who made a left back for the day. Yes, that happened!
Even though Celtic were missing so many influential players it was only the solitary goal that split the sides on the day, even then, Celtic had the ball in the back of the net, and it was marginally offside. After that result and the signing of Jermain Defoe, Nicholas hit out with this nonsense below.
Forget at the time Celtic had a game in hand against their rivals and forget Celtic were making their own moves to bring in young players who could make an immediate impact.
The fact Gers signed yesterday’s man and he was hailed to the rafters by the Premier League fanboys like Nicholas does Scottish football a disservice.
The notion a guy who could no longer get a game for Bournemouth would be ‘blockbuster’ up in Scotland is so insulting and found to be wide of the mark. Defoe has found the going tough and has been seen falling to the ground more than Jack Jarvis on an icy morning.
Since this headline, Celtic have won every single one of their domestic games AND not conceded a goal in the process. Making their game in hand count and adding another five points between them and the chasing pack.
Celtic are leaving everyone behind Charlie, stay off the glue.
