Former Rangers player Greg Stewart has tipped his old club to beat Celtic and challenge for the Premiership title.
Speaking on Open Goal, Stewart dismissed the notion that Rangers are only vying for second place.
When questioned on who would end as runners-up, Stewart responded: "For second? Celtic."
This drew laughter from the studio, but the ex-Ibrox forward is confident Rangers can end Celtic's reign, despite a mixed start to the season.

Derek McInnes' side are set for a crucial fortnight with a Premier Sports Cup quarter-final against Celtic, followed by a league visit to Parkhead.
Nevertheless, Stewart is firm in his belief that Rangers are on the right path. He said: "Rangers will win the Old Firm on Sunday. How can they not win the league?
"They are starting to pick up; I don't see, right now, how they can't win it. What is it, five points?"
Stewart also stated he does not anticipate a loss in the league clash at Celtic Park. "I don't think we'll lose; it's only five points, mate," he added.
