Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has dismissed claims from interim Celtic boss John Kennedy that the Parkhead side remain top dogs in Scotland despite the Light Blues winning the title,

Kennedy claimed, as quoted by the Daily Record, that his side were still the best team in Scotland as he looked ahead to this weekend’s Old Firm clash at Ibrox.

Gerrard confessed that he doesn’t really pay much attention to opinion from outside Ibrox and reminded his Parkhead rival that the Light Blues sit four games from an unbeaten season – as well as the trophy presentation after romping to the league title this term.

“Everyone is entitled to their own view and their own opinion,” Gerrard told Rangers TV.

“That’s why there’s so many platforms to give people that chance to give that opinion.

“I don’t really focus on anyone outside Rangers in terms of their views and opinions. I just focus on what is happening in here.

“On May 15, we’ll lift our 55th title as a club and I’ll be one of the proudest men on the planet.

“Where that sits right now, we’re 20 points clear with four games to play with the chance to go unbeaten so I don’t need to listen to anyone outside of Rangers to get a view on that.

“I know the reality is, I know the truth and it’s a day we’re looking forward to as a club.

“Anyone’s view on the outside is not really important.”
