Why are Rangers and Celtic being blamed for Scotland’s defeat in the EURO qualifiers?

Scotland suffered what is arguably the worst defeat in their history when they went down 3-0 to Kazakhstan in the opening match of their Euro 2020 qualifiers.

Scotland put up a dismal show and after the loss, there is not a single person who hasn’t criticised the national team for such a poor show at the Astana Arena.

But perhaps the most scathing attack came from presenter Jim White who oddly enough chose to slam both Celtic and Rangers for the dismal performance of Scotland.

Jim White said on Talksport(as reported): “Celtic and Rangers should be ashamed of themselves in terms of what they’re doing or not doing in the international scene.




“Celtic are too busy, they’re too preoccupied in trying to dominate Rangers, keeping them at arms length… Rangers trying to get back, competing with Celtic.

“Celtic and Rangers are too busy undercutting each other in terms of tickets for away fans at Old Firm games… ‘give them that, that will suit them’.

“It’s pathetic. And then they’re still trapped in sectarian bile. Rangers fans, quite recently again, the finger pointed at them for verbally abusing Steve Clarke.




“Once they come out the dark ages and realise they have a duty to serve Scotland, they might well progress.”




Jim White was actually discussing why Scotland played so poorly vs Kazakhstan but somehow he lost the whole plot and chose to bash the Glasgow clubs.

These comments though have not gone down too well with the supporters who have chosen to hit back at White for his unwanted rant about Celtic and Rangers.

And to top it all, the presenter chose to bash Rangers despite the Gers not having a single player in the Scotland squad which played lost to Kazakhstan.
