I was in the Rangers dugout on Helicopter Sunday and here's the truth before Celtic collapse spread like wildfire
dailyrecord.co.ukAndy Watson has been a winner and a loser in three of Scottish football's closest-run title fights - and is convinced Celtic and Rangers will go the distance this season.However, he doubts that this conclusion will match the drama he experienced with Hearts in 1986 then Rangers in 2003 and 2005.
