Celtic are worried about Rangers being back in the top-flight of Scottish football, says John Brown. Rangers won promotion from the Scottish Championship to put them back among the elite after four years, while Celtic appointed former Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers as the successor to Ronny Deila on a 12-month rolling contract despite winning the Scottish Premiership title for a fifth successive season.And Brown, who made 278 appearances for Rangers from 1988 to 1997, says Celtics move for Rodgers shows they are afraid of their fierce rivals. I think you can see by what Celtic are doing, bringing in Brendan Rodgers, they must be really worried about the situation with Rangers back in the Premiership, Brown told Sky Sports News HQ. Rangers won the Scottish Championship, meaning they will return to Scotlands top flight after four years Celtic have downsized over the last couple of seasons, theyve cashed in on the big players, and because Rangers were not in the Premiership, there was only ever going to be one winner and that was Celtic.He added: Celtic fans want to keep winning titles to get to this 10 [titles in a row] that theyre looking for, which I dont think theyll achieve, but theyve brought in Rodgers to keep that momentum going. Brown is looking forward to seeing Rangers take on Celtic again next season I think hes a very good manager. He will improve Celtic, so Rangers will have a big fight on their hands next season.
