We’re not trying to snitch or anything like that, but… Valencia’s local media seem pretty confident about swatting Celtic aside in the Europa League.

When it comes to the Spanish club, daily newspaper Super Deporte is always the place to start and they already have several articles on the upcoming matches.

Brendan Rodgers’ side are described as less dangerous than they have been previously, and it’s even stated they’ve been ‘overshadowed’ domestically by Steven Gerrard’s Rangers. The club ‘don’t dominate in Scotland’ and had to ‘suffer’ to qualify from the Europa group, something it’s worth pointing out Rangers failed to do.

It’s not just on the pitch that Super Deporte believe Rangers are reigning, but in the media too. Since the arrival of Gerrard, it’s explained the Ibrox club have ‘eclipsed’ their Glasgow rivals.

Celtic’s game in hand in the Scottish Premiership is referenced, but it’s certainly not deemed enough by Super Deporte to knock them off their stride.

Rangers went top of the league at the weekend, thanks to a Daniel Candeias strike against Hamilton Academical.
