Alan Hutton has suggested the “tension is rising” at Rangers as Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s men continue to “hunt Celtic down” in the title race.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former Gers defender, speaking exclusively to Football Insider<\/strong>, claimed the Ibrox faithful may be “worried” about the sub-par performances and finishing on show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Van Bronckhorst’s decision to replace talisman Alfredo Morelos<\/a> with Kemar Roofe with Rangers drawing 0-0 against Aberdeen on Saturday (5 March) was met with loud boos from the Rangers fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the former Leeds forward came up with the winner with nine minutes to play to paper over the cracks of another poor display in front of goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rangers registered 20 shots on goal against Aberdeen, but only two managed to find the target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hutton insisted Gers fans are “frustrated” with the “phenomenal” number of chances going to waste as the battle for the Scottish Premiership title continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe fans weren\u2019t happy when Morelos went off<\/em>,” he told Football Insider<\/strong>‘s Russell Edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Nothing to do with Roofe, they just didn\u2019t agree with the substitution because they were desperate for a goal.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe tension is rising at Rangers because they\u2019re hunting Celtic down<\/em>. When the performances aren\u2019t there, it\u2019s always a worry.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019ll be a bit of frustration from the fans, I\u2019m sure. When you look at the amount of chances created in the last three games, it\u2019s phenomenal. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It\u2019s about 80-plus chances. You\u2019d expect a team of this quality to score more goals and be more comfortable.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rangers remain three points adrift of Celtic atop the Scottish Premiership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
