Former Rangers striker Kenny Miller is unsure about Gers manager Danny Rohl insisting everything is wide open in the Premiership title race.

Last weekend's 2-2 draw with Celtic at Ibrox left the Old Firm still trailing leaders Hearts.

The Jambos are five points ahead of Celtic and six ahead of Gers.

Asked about Rohl's claims, Miller told Tribalfootball.com: "If Danny's insisting that, I wouldn't suggest that Hearts, Rangers and Celtic are all going to keep getting the results that they've been getting.

"I must say I wouldn't be saying that. Over the last 20 years, how many times has it gone that way? It's quite rare, but what you've got now you've got three teams that are going for it and even if Rangers and Celtic do finish stronger than Hearts they need to finish a lot stronger than Hearts for it to go to the last day of the season because of the points gap at the moment."

However, Miller also says: "But listen, it might do, and it'll be super exciting for everybody watching maybe not so for the players, the coaches and the fans, but for the neutrals in the game. It would be nice to see all teams being able to win it going into the last round. I mean, that would be exciting.

"I still expect, particularly Celtic, they've got a lot of players on their team that have been over the course and distance. They've won everything there is to win in Scotland domestically. The only question mark I would throw at them is they've never been pushed really like this.

"They've not been chasing, apart from the one year that Rangers won the league and in that year it wasn't even close. There's been no other time that Celtic have been pushed. So the players have got questions to answer. They need to show that they've

got the guts for the fight."
