ALEX MCLEISH reckons failure to win the Premiership title would be a black mark on the CV of Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers.
The Northern Irishman is expected to lead the Hoops to their sixth successive top flight title this term despite facing a renewed challenge from Rangers.
And former Ibrox boss McLeish knows the pressure will be on Celtic to finish in front of the Gers and Aberdeen.
He told Sky Sports: “It is a good, strong league and with Rangers back in the league this season it makes it very exciting.
“Aberdeen against Rangers at Pittodrie is always a pretty tasty game. Rangers are going up there after an absence of three or four years and it will be very interesting.
“I am a Rangers fan, but my experience and education tells me that Celtic are favourites. If Brendan doesn’t win it, I think Brendan will see that as a black mark on his CV.”
