Peter Grant Shares Petty Celtic Reason Behind Rangers’ 49ers Takeover
Celtic legend Peter Grant has shared his thoughts on the proposed takeover of Rangers by the San Francisco 49ers. According to Grant, Rangers’ desire to push through the takeover quickly is driven by a petty Celtic reason – to steal the headlines from their Glasgow rivals.
Grant’s Comments
Grant told The Go Radio Football Show, “I think it’s certain to happen. It’s just the timing of it, but I think they’re making sure, of course, Rangers have nothing to play for now, they can’t have Celtic having all the headlines, so they’ll definitely be trying to make something happen.”
Celtic’s Dominance
Celtic are currently dominating Scottish football, with a strong chance of winning another treble this season. The Hoops are going for their sixth treble in nine years, and their success over Rangers has been phenomenal. Grant’s comments suggest that Rangers are motivated to push through the takeover to shift the focus away from Celtic’s on-field success.
Takeover Progress
The proposed takeover of Rangers by the San Francisco 49ers has been making slow progress, but Grant believes it’s a done deal. The timing of the takeover is yet to be confirmed, but it’s expected to happen soon.
Conclusion
Peter Grant’s comments highlight the intense rivalry between Celtic and Rangers, even off the pitch. As Celtic continue to dominate Scottish football, Rangers are looking to make headlines with the 49ers takeover. Whether or not the takeover will have a significant impact on the club’s fortunes remains to be seen, but one thing is certain – the Old Firm rivalry is set to continue.
