Dean Perretta: Irrespective of Celtic triumphantly winning the Scottish Premiership for an unprecedented eighth consecutive season in a row, Rangers recently sealed the Old Firm double against Celtic this term. Can you talk about the current gulf between the two Glasgow giants and whether Steven Gerrard’s Rangers can pose a legitimate contendership for the Scottish Premiership next season?
David Potter: I am worried. The trend in Old Firm games now seems that you win your home games and lose your away games. It is also true that Rangers will spend a great deal to stop “Nine in a Row”, and I think next year’s (Scottish Premiership) league campaign might be tricky. But Celtic must rise to this. I am tempted to say that they must buy big. To a certain extent this is true, but one must be wary for we have spent a huge amount on duds in the past and we can all, without trying too hard, come up with a list of all those who came to Celtic Park and never made it. To play for Celtic, you must be prepared to die for them. Celtic must at all costs avoid the “Rangers are good, so we must lie down to them” sort of attitude that was so prevalent in the 1960s. We must always want to win more than they do, and be first to every ball.
