Alan Brazil has added fuel to speculation that there are problems behind the scenes at Ibrox.

Over the last six weeks Celtic have stretched their lead at the top of the SPFL by 11 points with the challenge from Steven Gerrard’s side falling apart.

Hugh Burns was the first person in the media to go public about problems during the January trip to Dubai.

Gary McAllister denied that there had been an issue but on TalkSPORT this morning the issue was discussed as they reviewed last night’s SPFL results.

Speaking on Alan Brazil’s Sports Breakfast Show on talkSPORT (05/03/2020 at 6:15 am), the former Spurs and Manchester United striker, shared what he has been told about the Dubai trip.

“I was really concerned about what was happening at Ibrox,” Brazil told talkSPORT. “I think he [Gerrard] could be going. I think he could walk away, Steven.

“All I can say is, and Ally [McCoist] is with me tomorrow, so Ally should know a lot more about it than me, but I am told Dubai didn’t go well and there is a split in the camp. But this is remarkable. They played well in the cup final and lost. Then they beat Celtic at Parkhead. They have done well in Europe, but the Premier League has been a disaster for them. 

“I wonder if Steven is going to say, ‘it’s not working and I am not getting the respect’. I am told there is a split, but I don’t know, you hear all these things. 

“Well, Celtic got a late goal to draw, but it’s [the title race] is over now, isn’t it?! It’s over – There’s no chance of him getting sacked, but a big chance of him walking away.” 

In December Gerrard signed a fresh contract keeping him at Ibrox until June 2024.
