James Anderson says there's no reason why a club like Hearts can't lay a serious glove on Celtic and Rangers. The wealthy businessman was revealed to have made another £4m donation to the Tynecastle club in their annual accounts.

He has made big cash-pledges to the Jambos previously and is a benefactor at SWPL side Glasgow City, with a total of more than £40m put into the Scottish game by him.

Aberdeen's title glory in 1985 was the last time anyone in the men's game won the top flight outside of Celtic and Rangers, with such control confusing Anderson.

Pointing to examples of Atalanta in Italy brokering their success into a financial strength comparing with Roma, AZ Alkmaar in the Netherlands and Villarreal in Spain, he tells the Daily Mail more of a challenge can be brought on by some of the nation's bigger club.
