Every word of Steven Gerrard's Rangers press conference as he sends 'reality and truth' message to Celtic
| Published date | 16 April 2021 |
Last week, John Kennedy claimed Celtic are still the best team in Scotland but Steven Gerrard wasn't having it and insisted the reality and truth is Rangers are champions.
With the Ibrox side 20 points clear of their rivals, he's focused on getting into the next round of the tournament, but has spoken about being the 'proudest man' in the world when they lift the Premiership trophy.
Gerrard also discussed Ryan Jack's injury, Arsenal's stance against Slavia Prague and much more.
