Neil Doncaster insists only a Vladimir Romanov-style cash injection would see Celtic and Rangers' grip on Scottish football challenged.
The Hoops and soon-to-be crowned Premiership champions have won 11 of the last 12 titles and have proven the side to beat for much of the last decade.

In terms of title wins, it is absolutely true that Celtic and Rangers have dominated the Scottish league in recent decades.
