'Wow' - Jim White stunned by what Rangers fan said about Aberdeen on talkSPORT

Alex Crook and Jim White were shocked live on talkSPORT as a Rangers fan admitted he is worried about Aberdeen this season.

The Gers sit third in the Scottish Premiership, five points adrift from leaders Celtic, who are level on points with Aberdeen after five matches.

A Rangers fan appeared on talkSPORT [20 September, 10:23am] to deliver his verdict on the European landscape in Scottish football and the threat of Aberdeen that left co-presenter Crook speechless.

He said: “I personally do [think Aberdeen are a threat], and Rangers need to get their act together. PC (Philippe Clement) needs to get his act together – the history is showing, what are we going to do here? Are we going to throw something away again?

“But we need coefficiency points between Rangers and Celtic with no automatic Champions League position next year and that is embarrassing.”

“Celtic will come in the top 25 in the Champions League, guaranteed 13th to 16th, absolutely 110 per cent.”

Co-host Jim White responded: “Wow, that’s quite a comment from a Rangers fan.”

Aberdeen can pose a serious threat to Rangers this season

If there was one guarantee amidst the chaos at Ibrox this summer facing Rangers heading into the new season, it would be their side and Celtic fighting for the SPFL this year.

That plan has been blown out the window by Jimmy Thelin, who has guided the Dons to a 100 per cent start to the season with Pape Gueye leading the scoring charts with five league goals.

The revival job facing Clement at Rangers is becoming more insurmountable by the day and the stronghold that the two Glaswegian sides have held over the division, albeit mostly Celtic, is threatened.

Hearts are also posing a threat as they are set to receive additional funding for the scouting department from Brighton & Hove Albion owner Tony Bloom, a move which has put the Light Blues on the back foot [Sky Sports].

Aberdeen finished ninth in the SPFL first phase and top of the relegation group last term, their resurgence at the beginning of this season while admirable is likely not to last much longer.

Clement should focus on his side with Europa League football on the horizon for Rangers. We will never know whether the Belgian would have been able to rub shoulders with some of Europe’s elite in the Champions League.

However, a good run in Europe’s second-tier competition will go a long way in helping Scotland claw their way back up the coefficient rankings – and bring some much-needed joy to Gers fans.
