Alan Brazil claims Rangers diehards have been left “raging” by the post-split fixture list.
And the Celtic diehard reckons talkSPORT pal Ally McCoist will be “spitting feathers” after the SPFL announced the crucial games for the three-way Premiership title fight.
The battle between league leaders Hearts, Rangers and Celtic is set to go to the wire with just three points separating the sides.
Before the SPFL revealed the fixture list for the final five games, there were already some guaranteed fixtures for the top three.
Derek McInnes’ side had to play three home games and two away games. They have already played Rangers away twice, Celtic away once, so must face the Light Blues at home and the Hoops away. Martin O’Neill’s men are also owed a home game against Rangers in the final run-in.
But Brazil admitted he has heard grumbles from disgruntled Rangers’ fans after league bosses big reveal.
Looking back on the weekend’s fixtures where the defending champions secured a narrow win at Dens Park, he said: “I nearly kicked in my TV again watching Celtic.
“How Celtic got away with that I will never know, away at Dundee. I will never know. But looking at it now, because they have revamped the fixtures like they do every season, Rangers supporters are going crazy – mental. They are raging.”
Former Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor quizzed: “How did they pick them?”

Brazil went on: “I don’t know. If you talk to a Rangers supporter I picked them. Three points separate the top three, and the SPFL announced Celtic will play Hearts on the final day at Parkhead. Celtic have all the good games at home, Rangers have got games coming thick and fast.”
Agbonlahor added: “We have got to find out how they get picked, Al. It’s got to be a normal draw, surely?”
Brazil guaranteed: “It wasn’t Ally [McCoist], put it that way. He will be spitting feathers.
“A pal of mine was on right away saying ‘this is a disgrace, Celtic have got it easy.’ But I think Hearts have blown it, I’m sad to say. I think it’s between Celtic and Rangers. Celtic supporters should be thanking the lucky stars that they are still in it.”
