Three out of four ain’t bad -unless you’re a Saint

Rangers were awarded a club record four penalties against St Mirren. James Tavernier scored two and missed one before

Lorenzo Amoruso reckons Celtic would be English Premier League champions in just two years if they moved south.

And the one-time Rangers captain insists his former club would also be challengin­g.

The Old Firm have eyed a move to English football over the last few decades, although they have both received very little encouragem­ent from down south.

And Amoruso – who won three titles, three Scottish Cups and three League Cups while at Ibrox – insists both should resurrect their attempts to move south of Hadrian’s Wall.

The Italian pointed out: “When I was at Rangers, I was hoping they would allow both us and Celtic to move to the English Premier League. But the teams in England fighting for European places always fought against it. “Everyone knows they would both be incredibly successful because they have an incredible number of fans.

“Celtic would be fighting for the English Premier League title within two or three years because the money they would bring in from merchandis­e would be absolutely crazy. Rangers, too.

“When I was at Rangers, I had a following of thousands and thousands of fans.

“In my opinion, both clubs have an unbelievab­le untapped potential.”
