John Barnes: Rangers must give Steven Gerrard time to catch Celtic

Glasgow Rangers have improved immensely this season but the Ibrox club are still not close enough to catching Celtic, according to former England striker John Barnes.

The Gers have shown great improvement in terms of results under Steven Gerrard who made a wholesome change to the squad in the summer transfer window.

However, Barnes has told BeIN Sports that he believes the Gers are three or four years away from challenging Brendan Rodgers’ side for the title.

Rangers have seen Celtic winning back to back domestic trebles in the past two seasons, and in the last 12 meetings between the two sides, the Ibrox side have failed to win once.
