Celtic suffered a loss to Aberdeen on Saturday, but they were able to compensate by gaining points against Rangers. Brendan Rodgers would have been

displeased following the full-time whistle, as his team squandered a 2-0 lead and only managed to accumulate a single point. Rangers were defeated at Kilmarnock 24 hours later, denying Philippe Clement’s team the opportunity to capitalize on the top two missing points. This implies that the champions are currently six points clear of their opponents, a disparity that is expected to continue to grow throughout the season.

Rangers are closer to Motherwell, who are in fifth place, by three points, than they are to Celtic. The weekend’s events were debated on talkSPORT on Monday morning. Martin O’Neill is questioned by Jim White regarding the size of the distance between Celtic and Rangers. Celtic has been declared the clear favorite to win the title by the bookmakers, as you can assume. Therefore, it may be prudent to refrain from placing any wagers. O’Neill was informed of this prior to being questioned about the disparity by host Jim White. He acknowledged that he had never anticipated or observed it to be so substantial, as he stated in an interview with talkSPORT (21/10/24 at 11:40 am). Rangers’ appearance is “unrecognizable,” according to the legendary manager, who also noted that it is a significant departure from his time in the dugout. O’Neill acknowledged that the Aberdeen stalemate would have been a disappointment if they had been 2-0 up at Celtic Park. “Nevertheless, that is the extent of it.” The following day, their nearest adversaries, the Rangers, suffered a loss, rendering the situation nearly identical to a victory. White then inquired, “Have you ever considered that Celtic would be 1-14 to win the title during your time at the club?” O’Neill replied, “No, no.” Absolutely not. Certainly (you had to work extremely hard against the Rangers in order to advance). Despite the fact that we won the league by significant margins, you still believed that the Rangers were exceptionally strong under Alex (McLeish) and under Advocaat. Therefore, it was impossible for you to divert your attention from the task at hand. For several weeks, I have been asserting that they are exceedingly commonplace Rangers. A football team that is exceedingly ordinary. Certainly (a team that is unrecognizable from the one I encountered).
