JOHN HARTSON has had a cheeky dig at Ibrox boss, Michael Beale, after he referred to Celtic as ‘the other team’ in his pre-match press conference.
Beale all but ruled his side out of the title race, admitting there was very little chance unless there was a significant slip-up from Celtic.
It wasn’t the perfect start to life in Glasgow for the boss, but his side did manage to scrape the three points in the end, coming from behind twice to win 3-2.
John Hartson took aim at Beale, saying: [SunSport]
“It will only make up a nine point gap if we win and something happens to the other team.
“At the moment, all we can take care of is tomorrow.
“I think everyone is clear that every game at this club feels like it’s a must win, every week feels like a big week.
“In the three and a half years I was here before I said ‘this week is a big week, next week is a big week’, so I understand it.
“The players need to perform at their level.
“If they perform at their level, and the level they are capable of, and they are able to show nice aggression they will give themselves a good chance.”
He also took to Twitter while The Rangers were behind, again referencing Mick Beale’s comments.
Stays like this the other team could go 12 clear on Saturday!

The gap at the top of the table now sits at six, but Celtic can restore it to nine if they pick up three points in Aberdeen on Saturday. It’ll be no easy task for the Hoops, with Aberdeen very impressive at home.
