Clint tips Blues to get over the Hill
CLINT HILL has backed Rangers to make a push for the Premiership title if they can clinch an Old Firm win this weekend.
Victory over Celtic would put Graeme Murty’s side within touching distance at the top of the table and spark fresh talk of a challenge for the silverware this term.
Murty only has a deal as boss until the end of the campaign but former Light Blues defender Hill reckons he has a serious chance of landing the job beyond the summer.
He said: “[Rangers] will go into this game full of confidence, at home, with the crowd behind them.
“If they get a win then they seriously are title contenders. They have to be judged that way.
“The last performance at Celtic was brilliant; they could have possibly nicked a win there.
“They have to get out and get that win first and foremost and then hopefully the consistency will come.
“It’s been very steady, very good progress. Everything looks to be going very well indeed at the moment.
“Obviously the big games are coming up now and these are the games that ultimately you’ll be judged on at the end of the season.
“It’s going in the right way, which is important. The right result on Sunday and then it goes down to three points and it’s a great, great race ahead which everybody wants in Scotland.
“Results and the end-of-the-season table will dictate what the club do.
“They know that they’ve got a great man in charge now who’s found that stability, who has progressed the team to another level.
“There’s a lot of positives for him to take and I’m sure the club will be looking at it as well.”
