Rangers forward Lafferty: We are still better than Celtic

Kyle Lafferty is adamant that the Rangers team he plays in is much better than that of Celtic.

Despite sitting 18 points behind their Old Firm rivals, (which would still be eight if not for them falling into administration) striker Lafferty suggests that 'Gers have better players and play more attractive football than their Glasgow counterparts who they defeated 3-2 on the weekend.

"There's no doubt about it. Celtic can sign whoever they want - we've still got the best young players and the best old players," he said despite the fact Celtic can clinch the title this weekend.

"As a team, we're the best. We play the best football and when the going gets tough, we're always there and accounted for.

"When we're the underdogs, we come out on top and no matter what people put in front of us, we're always there.

"We've taken massive steps as a team and I think the gaffer has been superb with the way he and the coaching staff have handled things.

"They really showed to everyone on the outside that we're a team.

"Our team spirit is high and we're definitely a family."
