GOOD News for Celtic as Top flight boss ‘will not accept’ Rangers role if Clement is sacked as Celtic ace says club is in ‘GOOD PLACE’

Celtic and Rangers News: McInnes Ruled Out for Rangers Job, Schmeichel Thriving at Celtic

The Scottish Premiership may be on hiatus due to the international break, but speculation surrounding managerial changes and player performances continues. Former Rangers midfielder Derek Ferguson has expressed doubts about Derek McInnes taking over as Rangers manager if Philippe Clement is sacked.

McInnes Unlikely to Take Rangers Job

Ferguson believes McInnes, currently managing Kilmarnock, will decline the opportunity due to Rangers’ internal issues. “Derek’s had the opportunity before and didn’t think it was the right time,” Ferguson said. “Would he look at the club now and think it’s the right time? Absolutely not, because the club’s in a mess.”

Ferguson cited the club’s structural problems behind the scenes as a major deterrent for McInnes. “He’s a clever guy, so he’s not going to take that.”

Schmeichel Enjoying Life at Celtic

Meanwhile, Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has spoken highly of his experience at the club since joining in the summer. “I am very satisfied,” Schmeichel told Danish outlet Tipsbladet. “I have been playing really well, and I love being part of the team.”

Schmeichel praised Celtic’s style of play under Brendan Rodgers, which suits him well. “We play really good football. The past week has been typical for our team. In pre-season, we beat City and Chelsea, and then we took it further and beat Leipzig in the Champions League.”

Pressure at Celtic

Schmeichel acknowledged the pressure of playing for Celtic, where anything less than a win is considered a failure. “It’s a completely different type of pressure than what I’ve been used to in my career. It is a new experience.”

Celtic’s Strong Start

Celtic currently sits second in the Scottish Premiership table, level on points with leaders Aberdeen. Schmeichel’s performances have been instrumental in the team’s success.

Rangers’ Managerial Uncertainty

Philippe Clement’s future at Rangers remains uncertain, with the team nine points behind Celtic and Aberdeen. Fans are speculating about potential replacements, but McInnes’ potential candidacy has been ruled out by Ferguson.

Celtic and Rangers’ Transfer Miss

Recent reports suggest that both Celtic and Rangers missed an opportunity to sign a £20m+ star, who would now be difficult to land.

Scottish Masters 2024

The Scottish Masters 2024 will feature Rangers and Celtic legends, with fans eagerly anticipating the event.

Conclusion

As the Scottish Premiership resumes after the international break, Celtic and Rangers will look to maintain their momentum. Schmeichel’s positive experience at Celtic and McInnes’ potential unavailability for the Rangers job are key talking points.
