Celtic are still going to win the Scottish Premiership despite Rangers completing the ‘brilliant’ signing of Jermain Defoe, Sir Kenny Dalglish believes.Writing in the Sunday Post, Hoops hero Dalglish praised Steven Gerrard for capturing the veteran forward, who has been backed to rediscover his scoring touch north of the border.
#RangersFC are today delighted to confirm that Jermain Defoe (@IAmJermainDefoe) has joined the Club on an 18 month loan subject to international clearance: https://t.co/6et0OGyOI7 pic.twitter.com/YEYdtUhzqZ— Rangers Football Club (@RangersFC) January 6, 2019“To have captured Jermain Defoe on loan from Bournemouth is brilliant business,” Dalglish writes.“Jermain may well be 36 and have had a number of clubs during his career, but Im certain there will still be a hunger and burning desire within him to bring silverware to Ibrox.“He will score plenty of goals.”
Lets bring that trophy home, boss… pic.twitter.com/QJ59ayIDlm— Jermain Defoe OBE (@IAmJermainDefoe) January 6, 2019Defoe’s arrival, however, does not change the fact Celtic are favourites to win another Premiership title, which would make it eight in a row for the Parkhead club.Despite losing to Rangers in their final match of 2018, Brendan Rodgers’ side remain top of the league, ahead of their Old Firm rivals on goal difference. Celtic also have a game in hand, which if won would move them three points clear in first.Rodgers’ side also have experience of winning the Premiership title, and while Rangers have won Scotland’s highest league honour more times than any other club, they have not claimed the top flight title since the 2010/11 season.And, on top of this experience, Dalglish believes Celtic will be fired up to go on and win the league as everyone has been doubting their ability to do just that. “They have been the champions for the past seven years and they have a squad of players and a manager used to winning things,” Daglish wrote of Celtic.“Losing to Rangers last Saturday was a setback, but they remain top of the league, level on points, with a game in hand.“Sure, you could say without fear of contradiction that they should have five or six more points on the board from their league games.“Their away form hasnt been great and dropping points at St Mirren, Livingston, Motherwell, Hibs, Hearts and Kilmarnock was fairly unexpected.“I would imagine they couldnt drop the same amount of points on the road in the second half of the campaign and I still expect Celtic to make it eight titles on the trot.“They need to win more games away from Parkhead.
