Steven Gerrard did Rangers a favour by leaving as complacent side could have crumbled to swashbuckling Celtic - Keith Jackson

dailyrecord.co.uk:

It may not have felt like it at the time but, more and more, it’s starting to feel like Steven Gerrard did Rangers a favour when he bolted back over the border in a rush to up sticks for Aston Villa.

Had he hung around for much longer then the momentum swelling behind Ange Postecoglou and Celtic might have swept them a whole lot closer to the top of the table than they found themselves yesterday after dismantling Dundee United at Tannadice.

That they were only 2-0 up at half time was almost inconceivable given the extent of their domination. Had it been four, five or even six then United could have had no complaints.
