There’s been a lot of Rangers, Celtic and Aberdeen fall-out since the weekend’s action
We talk you through some of the main football stories in the wake of the weekend’s action across Scotland
Rangers hero Ally McCoist thinks Celtic supporters are becoming agitated following their team’s 2-0 loss to Hearts over the weekend and Rangers’ Viaplay Cup victory. McCoist claims he has spoken with Celtics fans and has noticed trepidation. He remarked, “The natives are getting pretty restless.” “You are aware of the atmosphere at Celtic and Rangers.” A crisis or disaster could strike in as little as 45 or 90 minutes. They weren’t that good (against Hearts), in my opinion. I saw the second half of Kilmarnock, and they were not good. Kilmarnock were outstanding; you must clarify that. They defeated Feyenoord in the middle of the week, but they appeared to be thoroughly defeated over the weekend. I was conversing with several of the boys, friends who
While covering Rangers’ 1-0 victory over Aberdeen in the cup final for Viaplay, McCoist questioned Gers manager Philippe Clement about the team’s January transfer plans. In response, the Belgian said, “We have ambition to do things, but I won’t put an amount on it. We are aware that January can be challenging, and the team doesn’t want to let go of players who are playing well. It makes sense and applies to us as well. Given how tough it is, perhaps players with less experience will compete. However, our goal is to improve the club. However, it is also my responsibility to improve the players. Saying that we require five or six players as well as this, this, and this is acceptable. I’m not
James Tavernier scored his 115th goal for the Rangers to win the Viaplay Cup, and Connor Goldson showered the captain with praise. The Gers right-back ended Sunday’s Hampden match against Aberdeen in the 76th minute with a masterfully executed strike off a cross from Borna Barisic. Since joining Rangers from Wigan eight and a half years ago, Tavernier has made it a habit to score huge goals, and fellow defender Goldson believes his teammate has grown to be an enormous force at Ibrox. Goldson declared, “Until James Tavernier is not here, this football club won’t appreciate James Tavernier.” “For a right-back to put up the stats that he does… It’s not limited to a single season, but rather occurs annually. He had a slow start to the season and I doubt he scored many goals.
In Sunday’s Viaplay Cup final loss to Rangers, Stefan Gartenmann acknowledged that Aberdeen lacked the ruthlessness necessary to pose a threat. Although defender Gartenmann thought his team made the necessary effort, he regretted not being able to make Ibrox custodian Jack Butland make a save. The Dane remarked, “We didn’t have what it took today.” “We needed to put their defence and keeper to a little more test.” Every time we approached their box, we had the impression that something needed to be picked up. However, it’s clear that we didn’t give them the necessary stress and opportunities in their box. On a couple of our counterattacks, the pass just needed a bit more finishing touch. That was most likely the thing that separated us.
