Celtic fans react to Daniel Candeias’s comment on Rangers’ title-winning chances

Glasgow Rangers winger Daniel Candeias claims that the Gers can challenge arch-rivals Celtic all the way to the wire in the Scottish Premiership this season.

The improved form under Graeme Murty has seen the Ibrox club overtaking Aberdeen at the weekend to go into second place.

The Gers are still nine points behind Brendan Rodgers’ side who drew 0-0 against St Johnstone in their last Premier League game.

Rangers can expect to reduce the gap to six points should they win against Hearts on Saturday before Celtic face Aberdeen on Sunday.

Candeias said that Celtic are favourites to lift the trophy, and although it won’t be easy for Rangers to win, it is not impossible either.
