Rangers are hoping to chase down Celtic and win the title.
Former Rangers ace Lee McCulloch has urged Steven Gerrard’s side to keep the pressure on Celtic until the end of the season.
McCulloch believes that fighting for the title down the stretch is unchartered territory for Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic and there is a possibility that Rangers could make them crack.
Rangers are currently three points behind Celtic, who have a game in hand.
McCulloch told the Evening Times: “Celtic have been in the driving seat for the last few years but they haven’t really had any pressure applied to them in the run-in because the league has been won early doors.
“It will be interesting to see, if Celtic are in that position, if they can handle it. That is a different challenge to what they have had for the last couple of years when they have been winning at a canter.”
Rangers have a job on between now and the final weeks to stay in touch with Celtic.
To do so they will need to avoid defeat away to Celtic on March 31.
Even if they can do so, McCulloch admits that it could be Rangers who falter instead of Celtic.
He added: “Now, Rangers have not been in that position. And they have to prove that they can cope with the pressure of mounting a challenge and having to go out there and win no matter what it takes.”
Brendan Rodgers’ Liverpool side famously cracked under pressure in the Premier League in 2013/14, a team captained by Rangers manager Steven Gerrard.
