Barry Ferguson has played down the gap between Celtic and Rangers as he named one crucial factor in making sure the league flag returns to Ibrox next season.
The Light Blues secured title No55 under Steven Gerrard but the Hoops have came back fighting and won the title last year and can secure a second successive league triumph under Ange Postecoglou as early as Sunday against Hearts at Tynecastle. That would put the Hoops onto No53 - just two behind Rangers' haul.
Celtic hero John Hartson believes his old club will win 56 titles before Rangers as he expects the Parkhead side to dominate for years to come. But for Ibrox legendary skipper Ferguson, that is not an option as he branded it 'imperative' that Michael Beale and his troops win the Premiership title back next season.
