Graeme Murty’s Glasgow Rangers are second, while Aberdeen are third in the Scottish Premiership table.
Rangers are second in the Scottish Premiership table at the moment with 55 points from 28 matches.
The Ibrox club are nine points behind leaders and bitter Old Firm rivals Celtic, and three clear of Aberdeen, who are currently third in the standings.
Mackay-Steven, who was on the books of Celtic from 2015 until 2017, has admitted that Rangers have an advantage over Aberdeen in the race for the runners-up spot.
The 27-year-old Scotland international winger, though, believes that the race for the second spot will go down to the wire.
“Rangers have a slight advantage over us, but the fight for second spot will go to the wire, with Hibs pressing as well,” Mackay-Steven told The Scottish Sun.
Down to the wire
Rangers are in good form at the moment and have a better squad than Aberdeen, and Murty’s side should end up second.
Aberdeen, as well as Hibernian, will fancy their chances of ending in the runners-up spot.
