Former Celtic manager Gordon Strachan has warned the Parkhead club to take Rangers seriously this season.
Strachan is thought to be impressed with what he has seen so far and he believes that Rangers can challenge Celtic for the Scottish Premiership this season.
He said: “What Steven Gerrard, with Gary McAllister, is doing at Rangers is exciting. It’s been a great start for Gerrard. He’s got the fans on board straight away. His comments after the Aberdeen game – and since – have clearly been directed at the Rangers fans. He knows how to play the media game, and he’s doing it perfectly.
