Motherwell manager Mark McGhee believes it is possibly for his former clubs Aberdeen and Leicester to be crown champions.

Both of the 58-year-old’s old sides are in the midst of a title fight in their respective league, with the Dons just three points off leaders Celtic and Leicester leading the way down south by the same margin going into the last run of games.

Sticking £4 on the pair at the start of the season to finish top of the Premiership and the Premier League would be enough to make you a millionaire if it comes true.

And McGhee, who managed both clubs as well as enjoying a trophy-laden playing career at Pittodrie, reckons Aberdeen and Leicester have it within them to upset the odds.

“This season, I think it’s possible,” said the Motherwell manager.

“I don’t think what Leicester are doing is that different from Aberdeen.

“Celtic have a big advantage over all of us, including Aberdeen, for all the reasons that we know. So anyone who can bridge that gap is doing something right.

“Leicester, and the style they are doing it in, are extraordinary. What you do need to achieve what they are doing is a goalscorer and they have found a goalscorer in Jamie Vardy.

“If you have someone scoring the goals he’s scoring then you have a chance of winning games and the rest of the players behind him seem to be solid.

“They are a model for the rest of us in terms of organisation and determination.

“There’s not a person outside of the clubs at the top of the table who have a chance of winning - Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City, Spurs and even West Ham - who don’t want Leicester to win it.

“Everyone else would love to see it happen. Certainly, I would.”
