"Rohl has won eight of his 11 Premiership matches, losing just once - to Hearts - and all that with a squad that has been widely derided by fans and pundits alike. In stark contrast to Rangers' march up the table, Celtic have gone backwards since Wilfried Nancy replaced Martin O'Neill. "I don't think many people would have seen it coming but they're right in the mix," Sportsound pundit Steven Thompson said of his former side."
"Celtic have now lost five of seven matches under Nancy, the latest of which came on Tuesday as they were played off the park at Fir Park. While Nancy's side were chasing Motherwell shadows, Rangers were seeing off the challenge of St Mirren, who themselves dispatched Celtic at Hampden earlier this month in the League Cup final. Thelo Aasgaard nodded home Jayden Meghoma's cross before half-time and Emmanuel Fernandez converted Youssef Chermiti's excellent ball into the box to make it two in the second half."
Danny Rohl took charge of Rangers on 20 October after a poor start under Russell Martin. Rangers had been eight points behind Celtic and 13 behind Hearts, with only one Premiership win at that stage. Rohl has since won eight of 11 Premiership matches, losing only to Hearts. A Rangers victory at Parkhead would put them level with Celtic on 38 points. Celtic have slipped since Wilfried Nancy replaced Martin O'Neill, losing five of seven matches. Rangers beat St Mirren with goals from Thelo Aasgaard and Emmanuel Fernandez while St Mirren responded through Mikael Mandron.
