Andrei Kanchelskis is backing his old club to topple Celtic

But ex-Hoops manager Brendan Rodgers departure to Leicester last month will boost Rangers title chances, according to Kanchelskis, who played at Ibrox between 1998 and 2002.He told bwin: Rangers have a great chance to apply some late pressure to Celtic with the departure of Brendan Rodgers.The players will start to be a little complacent as theyre a few points ahead of Rangers, while theyll be more relaxed with Neil Lennon coming in.

I wouldnt be surprised if we saw a few shock results against Celtic in the coming weeks and that might play nicely into the hands of Steven Gerrard at Rangers.Steven Gerrard’s side drew at Hibernian on Friday as Celtic missed an opportunity to extend the gap at the top to ten points after Lennon’s men were held to a stalemate against Aberdeen a day later.The two clubs meet at Celtic Park at the end of the month in the Scottish Premiership and will both be in the draw for the Scottish Cup semi-finals if Rangers beat Aberdeen in a last-eight replay on Tuesday.2

Neil Lennon is a Celtic legend

Kanchelskis, who had spells with Manchester United, Everton and Fiorentina, revealed the Old Firm was the best derby he ever played in.The 50-year-old added: Rangers wont need any firing up if they pull Celtic in the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup.They live for the derby games and they remain to be by far the biggest and most fierce games across Scotland.The more I look back on my career, I can safely say that the Old Firm was the best derby I played in. Ive played in games against rivals across England and Russia, but the Old Firm has everything you could ever look for in a derby.No matter how new you were to the club, as soon as you walked on to the pitch you knew you were part of something big.The fans from both sides were outstanding and its one of my best memories to date.
