Rangers Looking to Rebuild as Celtic Dominate the Season
Rangers have endured a frustrating campaign, forced to watch from the sidelines as Celtic claimed yet another Scottish Premiership title. A series of poor decisions and mismanagement at Ibrox have left the Light Blues lagging behind where they ought to be.
Celtic’s dominance has gone largely unchallenged this season, as Rangers failed to mount a serious title push. However, change could be on the horizon. The anticipated takeover by 49ers Enterprises has sparked optimism among the Ibrox faithful, offering a glimpse of a more promising future.
Shebahn Aherne Weighs In on Rangers’ Season
While Celtic fans have enjoyed the bragging rights this year, the rivalry between Glasgow’s giants remains fierce. Despite their inconsistent performances, Rangers showed signs of life during Old Firm clashes—reminding fans and critics alike that they still thrive on the big stage.
The banter between the sides continues off the pitch as well. During a recent episode of talkSPORT Breakfast (1 May, 6:34am), co-hosts Gabby Agbonlahor and Shebahn Aherne exchanged jabs. With Tina Turner’s Simply the Best playing in the background, Agbonlahor cheekily said, “Wow. One of my favourite songs.” Aherne responded, “You’re trying to make me bite. Well, get original.”
Despite being a die-hard Celtic fan, Aherne conceded, “It’s a shame that it’s a Rangers song because… it is a banger.” When Agbonlahor asked whether she would turn it off, she admitted, “I’m just out of habit, I’m like ugh, but actually, I’m like banger.”
Rangers Aim to Reclaim Their Position at the Top
Ibrox supporters are eager for the 49ers’ takeover to be finalized, believing it could be the catalyst for a new era of success. The ultimate goal is to reclaim their place atop the Scottish Premiership and once again be serious contenders for the title.
As it stands, Celtic lead the table with 84 points, while Rangers trail behind with 67 and a significantly lower goal difference. It’s clear the gap remains substantial.
Patience will be essential, as rebuilding a competitive squad and structure will take time. Nonetheless, the potential for a brighter future has instilled cautious hope. Key decisions—such as those involving figures like Barry Ferguson—will be pivotal in determining the trajectory of the club in the short term.
For now, Rangers fans will continue to dream of a return to glory and a more balanced rivalry in Glasgow.
