<text>  Kris Commons says he wants Celtics arch-rivals Rangers in the Scottish Premiership as soon as possible despite the Ibrox club suffering a lamentable 2-2 home draw with Alloa on Tuesday night. Championship leaders Hearts could clinch automatic promotion to the top tier if results go their way this weekend. That would leave Rangers embroiled in a grim battle for the second promotion spot under new manager Stuart McCall, although on current form they could even miss the play-offs. Celtic forward Kris Commons, pictured training on Tuesday, wants Rangers back in the top flight . However, in a view unlikely to curry unanimous favour amongst Celtic supporters, Commons who scored in the recent League Cup semi-final between the Glasgow giants admits he wants the Old Firm fixture back next season. Personally, yes, because the games with Rangers are the best games, said the Parkhead forward. They draw the best crowds and a large TV audience for people around the world. It makes people want to get out of bed in the middle of the night in Australia. My mates down south dont know much about Scottish football but they want to see that game. I love playing in them. There are a lot of fans who are on the fence about whether its right or wrong but I love them. The new board still hope the return of Ibrox icon McCall can spark an improvement as they battle Hibernian for second place. The Ibrox side were hot favourites to finish top of the league at the beginning of the season, but Commons remains unsurprised to see them struggle. Rangers suffered a disappointing 2-2 draw against Alloa on Tuesday - their fifth in a row in the league . Ben Gordon centre is congratulated by his team-mates after his goal gave the part-timers a shock lead . I have played in the Championship in England with teams trying to get back up and its not easy, he continued. Some teams go down from the Premier League and they end up in League one, like Blackpool, Sheffield United and Wednesday. Not only does it affect the players, the manager, coaches and fans, its a city thing. Its a massive thing. Its very difficult to have the wind knocked out of your sails. When you are struggling as Rangers are thats when you need to call on experience and thats why they have tried to go with Stuart McCall. Commons scored the opener as Celtic secured the League Cup with a 2-0 win over Dundee United on Sunday. The Parkhead side can take a huge step towards their target of a rare domestic treble by beating the Tannadice side again in Wednesday nights Scottish Cup quarter-final replay at Parkhead. Celtic are bidding to win a domestic treble this season after claiming the Scottish League Cup last Sunday . Jock Stein and Martin ONeill completed domestic clean sweeps when Rangers were strong, but Commons rubbishes any suggestion of a diminished achievement in the absence of their Glasgow rivals. I think the last time it was done was in an era when money and wages were massive, he said. You look at the teams Chris Sutton, Neil Lennon, John Hartson and Henrik Larsson people who were on fortunes and I think that they got a huge amount of credit for what they did. If we can get across the line and achieve this Treble, I dont think it should be looked upon as a lesser achievement. Its the same level. Last seasons Player of the Year, meanwhile, plans to take any penalties against United after admitting the on-field spat between James Forrest and John Guidetti over a missed spot-kick on Sunday was regrettable. James Forrest right celebrates with John Guidetti after scoring in the League Cup final . I dont think that has ever happened before at Celtic, he said. Its the sort of thing you see on The Football Years on TV. It was like a Paolo di Canio-Frank Lampard moment. I can understand from Johns point of view because he has taken a couple of penalties and scored. He has not been on the score sheet a lot of late. Hes a striker and he wants to get goals. But they were not great scenes probably just an eagerness to score and win. It perhaps put a little dampener on the way that we won. The manager bases a lot on team spirit and team bonding. We are meant to have this good unit as a team but, clearly at the end of the game, it looked as though people were doing things on an individual basis. I dont think any player should throw a strop on a football field. You should never do that.
