Celtic star is happy for the competition.
Celtic midfielder Scott Brown has told the Glasgow Evening Times he is delighted to have a title challenge this season.
Celtic are bidding to win their eighth league title in a row.
Currently they are six points clear and Brown says Celtic are relishing the competition.
Rangers are trying to catch Celtic, with Aberdeen and Kilmarnock close behind.
Brown said: “I’m enjoying it. It’s been good to be fair for us. It shows we need to win games to stay on top. It shows that when the pressure is on the players can deal with it.
“For everyone if you want to be a winner you want to maintain that standard you set season after season.
“You’ve got to have that wee edge that when someone is coming up and think they can take that title away from you, you just push away again.”
Rangers did manage to level Celtic on points at one stage.
Celtic had a game in hand, and a defeat by Rangers has since widened the gap.
Since the winter break, Celtic have a 100 per cent record and are looking to keep that up at home to Hibernian this evening.
Rangers meanwhile travel to Aberdeen, who Steven Gerrard’s side have failed to beat in three matches so far this season.
