Neil Lennon believes the title race is OVER if Celtic win the Old Firm.
Ange Postecoglou's men can move 12 points clear of Rangers at the Premiership summit if they leave Ibrox with all three points next week. The Light Blues have picked up four wins on the trot since Michael Beale's arrival - but have been unable to make a dent in the Hoops' nine point advantage due to their relentless form.
The champions have won 18 and lost just one of their 19 games to date and go into the derby off the back of a thumping 4-0 win over Hibs in their own backyard. Rangers defeated Motherwell 3-0 on their own turf to build confidence in their own camp ahead of the blockbuster. Former Celtic boss and favourite Lennon believes victory for the league leaders will spell the end of any title hopes at Rangers this season while he also believes Beale will become more 'media savvy' as he picks up more experience following his previous comments relating to 'integrity and loyalty' at QPR before making the return north of the border.
