Rangers lost the recent Old Firm fixture to Celtic.

Rangers are still going to win the Scottish Premiership despite the loss to Celtic, claims former Ger Nacho Novo.

Novo told Rangers News he believes Rangers showed positive signs in the 1-0 loss and over the course of the season so far.

Rangers are currently four points behind rivals Celtic after the defeat.

Novo says he has seen positive signs so far from Steven Gerrard and the Rangers team.

He said confidently: “I don’t want to put pressure on anybody, but for me we’re going to win it.

“I think we’re going to win it. Forget the Old Firm result, I believe we’re going to win it.

“Celtic are in the Europa League as well, and that’s going to take a lot from them. Only thing is, Celtic have a bigger squad with good players, attacking good players, but that’s what you have to compete with.”

Rangers went into the Celtic game after a long trip to Russia where they competed for a stretch of the game with nine men, while their rivals enjoyed a comfortable home fixture.

Gerrard’s side are off the pace domestically though, they are seven points behind early leaders Hearts.

Rangers need players with Novo’s belief inside their dressing room if they are to overhaul their competitors, and have to start this weekend with a dominant display against bottom side Dundee.
