Lee McCulloch: I would have fancied our chances of 4-in-a-row

Lee McCulloch has claimed that Rangers were on course for 4-in-a-row until they went into administration.

Next Sunday Celtic can put the title beyond Rangers by winning at Ibrox but the utility man believes that Ally McCoist’s men could have won the championship if it hadn’t been for going into administration and losing 10 points.

Despite Celtic turning a 15 point deficit into a 4 point lead the former Motherwell and Wigan man is convinced that Ally McCoist’s side would have retained the title.

“The fact we have missed out on the chance to win Four-in-a-Row has been overlooked,” McCulloch told the Sunday Mail.

“Before we went into administration Celtic were just four points ahead but we were then deducted 10 points. Had we not suffered that penalty I would have fancied our chances of winning the league.

“We still had to play Celtic twice with the first clash taking place at Ibrox. And I’d fancy us at home.

“However, that opportunity to win the league again has been taken away from us. Mismanagement on so many different levels, for such a long time, has cost us. It makes me angry.

“A lot of people think Celtic would have won the league anyway but we’ll never know. I would have fancied us going into the final 10 games.

“It bugs me that we have been deprived of this through no fault of our own. Purely from a footballing point of view, that’s the biggest crime of all.”
