Ally McCoist says Liverpool's title win should be viewed differently to Celtic's as the Anfield club's season is being played to completion.
Celtic won their ninth successive title last season, but the final league game was played in March due to the shutdown. At that point, Neil Lennon's side were 13 points ahead with eight games remaining.
Liverpool, meanwhile, secured their first title in 30 years last week thanks to Chelsea beating Manchester City 2-1. The English Premier League season resumed earlier this month.
Speaking on talkSPORT, McCoist said: "The season has been finished and it is getting finished so that takes away a lot of the mystery of it, if you like.

“Getting back to the point I make up here about an asterisk, the only reason you have an asterisk is to tell people it’s different.
“It might be slightly different but at least you’re finishing it. You can’t get more different than up here where we’re not finishing it, that’s totally different.
“So if you’re minimising the difference, yeah okay it is slightly different.
“I know Manchester United fans will be at the wind-up but the fact of the matter is yeah, in fact they should stick two asterisks against Liverpool’s title.
“One because it’s different and another one because they’ve been absolutely sensational just to remind everybody, ‘in case you forgot, here’s a big asterisk to let you know how good Liverpool have been this year’.
“So there, stick two asterisks next to it!”
McCoist, who made 581 appearances for Rangers as a player, had previously told BeIN Sports that "if Liverpool are given the title, and Celtic are given the title, and Dundee United are given the title no matter what happens, through no fault of their own, there will be an asterisk against it".
