Celtic won't give up title - McGeady

Celtic winger Aiden McGeady is convinced they can give Rangers a "run for their money" in the title race after rediscovering their form at Fir Park.

McGeady believes the 4-1 win over Motherwell has revitalised their Clydesdale Bank Premier League push ahead of Wednesday's visit of Rangers.

"Things haven't really been going our way recently but with the result on Sunday we can get back on track," McGeady said. "There is still a lot of football left to be played and I think we can definitely give Rangers a run for their money."

He added: "It's a must-win game for us, the result at Ibrox a couple of weeks ago wasn't great for us, but with the result at Motherwell I think we can push on now.

"We had such a good performance on such a bad pitch against Motherwell, who are a good team. It was a great result for us.

"I think before the game we would be saying to ourselves it was a tough task but that game could give us a big boost going into the game on Wednesday.

"Our set-pieces haven't been great, I'm not saying the deliveries haven't been good, just that we haven't been getting on the end of things.

"On Sunday everyone showed more ambition to get on the end of crosses.

"We hadn't scored since Gretna, everyone was saying we were creating chances so the strikers take the main brunt of criticism.

"That isn't fair because I think everyone should be chipping in with goals but it was good for the strikers to get their first goals for a while."
