The reasons Rangers can beat Celtic to the title and it's not just my blue tinted specs talking - Kenny Miller

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.

When Celtic got their act together and gained a bit of momentum, there was no stopping them. They were relentless in pursuit of what they felt was theirs. And I expect the same kind of response from Rangers this term.

Listen, both of these teams now can hardly be split. There’s nothing between them.

Look at the last three Old Firm derbies from last season. A win, a loss and a draw for each of them. Every one of those matches were really evenly matched and were won by the odd goal. So it’s as tight as two coats of paint and almost impossible to predict.

But even with two really good teams, it’s possible that one might not have a great season. When I arrived at Rangers for the first time in 2000, the squad I walked into was a galaxy of international stars.

We had Gio, Arthur Numan, Jorg Albertz, Lorenzo Amoruso, Michael Mols, Ronald de Boer, Claudio Reyna, Tugay, Rod Wallace, Sergio Porrini and Andrei
