Former Rangers player Ian Murray believes the Gers will finish in the top two of the Scottish Premiership despite their early season struggles. He acknowledges Celtic's dominance and the challenges of rebuilding, but remains confident in Philippe Clement's project.
But he insists there’s no chance of that happening again – even with upheaval in the boardroom and a big rebuild on the pitch. Hearts split the Old Firm in season 2005-06 as Celtic romped home 18 points clear of Alex McLeish’s strugglers. Now it’s Aberdeen who are surging while Rangers have dropped points in the early weeks and taken another Parkhead beating.
“They need to be better. You cannot question that Celtic are streets ahead of them right now. And Clement has been pretty open about the fact that Rangers are on a rebuild. Murray insists Gers will have too much for his other former club Hibs today. He has watched Hibees three times since his shock sacking by Raith last month.
“Barron was excellent last week against Dundee, always looking for the ball and trying to drive the midfield forward. I feel he understands what it means to be a Rangers player and what it meant to the team being back at Ibrox, especially in a cup game. Hibs stunned Rangers 3-0 TWICE in Govan, including a Scottish Cup win, during that campaign 19 years ago. Tony Mowbray’s men finished fourth but Murray fears the top six could be beyond Easter Road boss David Gray this term.
