Rangers will overthrow Celtic as champions and any manager can win in Scotland says former England boss

Sam Allardyce has dismissed the successes of Celtic bosses and claimed all managers can come to Scotland and win silverware.

The comments were made as part of a wider debate about managers having to win titles or cups to be considered for top jobs in the Premier League.

Burnley boss Sean Dyche has been linked with Everton but a talkSPORT caller claimed that without tangible success, top clubs would always look to managers with a track record of success.

Host Alan Brazil suggested that Brendan Rodgers ' reason to go to Celtic was to become a winner and rehabilitate his reputation after coming so close to the title at Liverpool.

But Allardyce, was unimpressed.

He said: "We can all go to Celtic and win trophies.

"It will be Rangers soon the way they are going under Steven Gerrard .

"Fans expect you to win trophies and if you don't do that then you'd get the sack.

"I agree with what Brendan was saying and it was a great move for him because it built his reputation again.

"But I didn't think there was anything wrong with him because he was brilliant at Liverpool, just a bad patch of recruitment cost him his job."
