Former Premier League club chief claims Rangers are bigger than Celtic

Former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan took to Twitter to claim that Rangers are a better club than Celtic.

Rangers and Celtic are traditionally two of the biggest clubs in Scotland. Though Rangers have more titles than Celtic in terms of history with 54, the Bhoys have been dominating the League over recent years – having recently claimed their sixth successive League in succession.

After enduring a fall from grace due to financial problems, the Gers have been unable to compete with their Old firms over the past few years and only regained promotion to the top tier of Scottish football at the end of last season.

The Gers will have to do a lot of planning and sign good players in order to re-establish themselves as a top force in Scottish football. Based on a historical perspective, Jordan’s comments may have validity, however judging from recent history, Celtic have certainly been the better side.
