Last year when Celtic played Rangers, Rangers werent ready for that game and Celtic were on top of their game and top of the table and Rangers were struggling a wee bit. But I think after the weekend - Rangers played really well against Dundee - I think a lot of Rangers fans think they can go and match anything that Celtic can offer right now.I think Rangers have been building over the last two or three seasons and now they have a settled side, a young side.They move the ball quickly but I think theyll not be too far away from Celtic this time.I think Celtic have maybe lowered their standards slightly over the past four or five weeks and theyve dropped a lot of points.
