It's gearing up to be one of the tightest Premiership title races in a long time. But of course, with my blue tinted specs on, I have to fancy Rangers to nick it. Even if I take the emotion out of it, there are reasons why I believe Gio van Bronckhorst ’s side can be champions.
When one of the Old Firm clubs loses the league flag the year before, there’s a feeling of intense pressure to win it back. Just like Celtic felt last season. I know they weren’t fancied at the start of the campaign when Ange Postecoglou had just arrived in Glasgow.
At that point, no-one could see them finishing top. But for the fans and the players there was such a hunger and desire to get their hands on that trophy again. That pressure of not wanting Rangers to make it two, then maybe three titles in a row - that’s what drove them on.
