Adrian Durham makes bold Rangers title claim as he says Celtic Invincibles couldn't compare to unbeaten season

Shock jock Adrian Durham insists Steven Gerrard would complete the biggest achievement in the history of Scottish football if Rangers avoid defeat to Aberdeen this weekend.

And he includes Celtic's Invincible Treble of 2016-17 in that assessment, delivered ahead of trophy weekend in the Premiership.

James Tavernier will hoist the club's first league crown in 10 years at Ibrox on Saturday regardless of the result but to complete 38 games without losing would be a momentous accomplishment.

However, in keeping with the back-and-forth bickering Glasgow's big rivalry is often characterised by, some Hoops fans insist the Ibrox side should not be referred to as 'Invincibles' given their own team also cleaned up in both domestic cups when they earned the same tag.

Rangers on the other hand were put out of the Betfred Cup and the Scottish Cup before the semi-final stage but Durham believes the context of having to work their way back from the fourth tier puts this season ahead of what Brendan Rodgers accomplished four years ago.

He told talkSPORT's Drive show: "For Rangers to go unbeaten, if it happens...

“Less than a decade of being in the fourth tier of Scottish football, where they lost to Stirling Albion, where they lost to Peterhead, where they lost to Annan athletic, is the biggest ever achievement in Scottish domestic football bar none.

“You can have your Celtic invincible season, treble-winning season, you can have what you want.

"Did they do it less than a decade after being in the fourth tier? No."
