Alan Brazil swerves cheeky Rangers bait over Europa League surge as Celtic diehard makes semi final snub claim

Celtic fan Alan Brazil claims he won't be watching Rangers as he stopped short of backing the side in their Europa League semi-final.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst 's side face a massive night under the lights at Ibrox as they look to overturn a 1-0 deficit against RB Leipzig and reach a historic final.

Last week, Brazil wasn't willing to say he'd support Rangers with the talkSPORT when called out by fellow host Ally McCoist.

And now Brazil has doubled down claiming he won't even be watching the second leg.

While he admitted he didn't believe the bookies should be writing off the Premiership side at home against Leipzig, he admitted he planned to ignore the game.

He told the talkSPORT Breakfast Show that he would be watching West Ham as they attempt to see Eintracht Frankfurt.

Brazil was put on the spot by Neil Warnock when asked if he'll support Rangers, but Brazil shut him down, stating: "I'm going to watch West Ham."

Warnock continued: "I know what you're going to watch, but would you want Rangers to get through?"

Brazil replied: "If Rangers play West Ham in Seville, you might as well call Nato. Bring them in."

He quickly continued before Warnock could reply by saying: "Oh look at the time, Neil's with us until 10 and it's 8.13."
