The club's majority shareholder Vladimir Romanov managed to tempt Laszlo from his post as boss of the Uganda national team and now the Romanian-born Hungarian is confident he can upset the Scottish top two.

"Celtic and Rangers are the two biggest clubs in Scotland and have very good international players," he said.

"But we must compete against them and we must work very hard for this.

"This is not a dream - it's possible than we can do everything to be top.

"I don't think Mr Romanov is looking to sack anybody who doesn't reach first place.

"But I don't want to be eighth, seventh or even third place - I want to be first."
