Lee Johnson says he would like to believe a club like Hibs can end Celtic and Rangers dominance, but that a sheikh takeover of an SPFL club could disrupt the natural order.
Much has been made of the gap between Ange Postecoglou's men alongside Michael Beale's side and the rest, with some pundits believing the difference has never been bigger. It led to former Hearts boss Craig Levein even calling on the Old Firm to pack their bags and join the English Premier League in a bid to make Scottish football more competitive. There are nearly thirty points between Rangers and the Jambos currently.
Johnson insists the takeover of Manchester City, and latterly clubs like Newcastle United, shows that dominance of the classic top teams can be broken in financial terms. He says he 'dreams' that Hibs could end the reign of terror of the Old Firm but that he has to be realistic.
