Following the Celtic draw, Michael Stewart delivers the latest Rangers judgment live on BBC Scotland tonight

Rangers are currently seen as the “favourites” to win the Scottish Premiership, according to Michael Stewart, although the season ought to have ended by now.

When Michael Beale was in charge, Celtic appeared to be winning the league handily, but since Philippe Clement took over in October, the difference between the Old Firm rivals has narrowed.

Rangers will have a chance to unseat their rivals from the top place on Sunday, February 18, if they defeat St Johnstone, following the Hoops’ stalemate with Kilmarnock on Saturday, February 17.

“The league ought to have ended when it did. Rangers are now the favorites, therefore it’s obvious that it wasn’t over, Stewart stated in a live broadcast on BBC Radio Scotland on February 17, at 5:46 p.m.

“I believe I stated that Rangers were the favorites at that point because you could sense the change in momentum last week or the week before. Even though Celtic are still missing some of their best players, Carter-Vickers and Hatate’s returns are becoming more likely.

“When will they return, and will they be able to jump right in, give Celtic a huge boost in confidence, and deliver an adrenaline rush that will propel them back into the game?” I’m not sure.
Rangers defeat Celtic with the upper hand

It seems sense that Rangers supporters would be licking their lips at the chance to unseat their rivals for the top place. The supporters will undoubtedly be paying close attention to the table, even though Clement is unlikely to be.

Celtic has dominated the Scottish Premiership with nine league titles in the previous ten seasons, but the handoff may be coming.

As Rangers manager, Philippe Clement has only lost one competitive game.
Since Clement moved at Ibrox in October, the Gers have only dropped one game: 2-1 in the December Old Firm rivalry. But after seeing the game, the Belgian will know better and be able to handle the weaker opponents.

Rangers’ only genuine threat to prevent themselves from winning the title is Celtic, and they are unlikely to fall short of any of the forthcoming obstacles. Plus, there’s still a potential for Clement’s team to win the Europa League, so more salt in their wounds.
