Kris Commons reckons Rangers a result away from 'blowing up' as he thinks Celtic subs would walk into Beale's team

Former Celtic star Kris Commons is convinced Parkhead fringe men would walk into a Rangers team he reckons has grown stagnant.

The pundit believes Ange Postecoglou's ruthless approach to transfers is miles ahead of their rivals who have Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent months away from leaving as free agents. Commons believes the model under sporting director Ross Wilson – who was the target of fan protests alongside Stewart Robertson before the 3-1 win over Kilmarnock -

And Commons reckons something needs to change if they are to truly challenge Postecoglou's side over the long haul. Speaking in his Daily Mail, he said: "Look at Rangers on Saturday, with Connor Goldson, James Tavernier and Fashion Sakala scoring the goals in a 3-1 win over Kilmarnock. These are players signed by Steven Gerrard and, in the case of Tavernier, by Mark Warburton. The squad is still made up of signings from previous managers. It just highlights how stagnant things have become at Ibrox and how their recruitment model has failed with fans now making their feelings on this clear to sporting director Ross Wilson. Even Celtic's subs would walk into this Rangers team at the moment.

"The gulf in quality and depth between the two squads is massive. Postecoglou has built a ruthless machine at Celtic, one which is now relentlessly hunting down another league title. After the demolition in Paisley, Celtic have now scored 250 goals in just 99 games under the Australian."

Commons believes unrest at Ibrox among supporters is an indicator more woe could follow another wonky result. And the former Scotland international thinks much of that ire is rooted in how both teams go about signing and selling.

He added: "Rangers face a difficult trip to Easter Road
