Former Rangers manager Ally McCoist fears another title race with bitter rivals Celtic.
The Gers legend believes that the Celtic attackers are “better than ever” this season. Neil Lennon’s men are chasing a ninth consecutive title and are top of the league by three points.
It appears than the player-manager turned pundit is right when it comes to who will be winning this season.
Ally McCoist lays out his Celtic fears for coming season
The former striker usually tells it like it is in punditry even when it goes against his own side.
When it comes to Celtic winning another league title, McCoist is no different. He chatted about the Hoops’ chances on his talk show with former Celt Alan Brazil.
He told TalkSport today: “Celtic are looking good, they’ve started the season really well.
“The worrying thing from my point of view is that I think Celtic are more attack minded than ever.
“They didn’t even play particularly well [in the 2-0 win at Rangers].
“[Ryan] Christie and [Callum] McGregor can play better.”
However, it is still early in the season and the lead is a slender one at best.
There are three other Glasgow Derbies to come this season and a lot of football is to be played.
Hoops will be eyeing greater prize at the end of May next year
If McCoist has his fears about the league, then he must be having nightmares about another treble. The Bhoys are eyeing a quadruple treble this season to carry on the success of the last three years.
Only two games stand between Celtic and 10 consecutive domestic trophies in a row. Only the Scottish cup and a league title stand between the club and destiny.
Nobody could have believed that the club would come so far in Scotland when Rangers knocked Ronny Deila’s men out the cup by penalties.
That was the wake-up call needed and the Bhoys are paying dividends for it now.
