Possible Singapore buyer eyes Rangers as Celtic look to clinch SPL title with Old Firm victory at Ibrox "I do, I firmly do," he said. Circumstances have dictated that we have had a weakened side and obviously the points deduction ensured we are not in as strong a position as I would have hoped. I believe in my players - that goes without saying. And the loss of one or two - Nikica Jelavic being one of the key ones - would dictate that we have been weaker, so in answer to your question, I do believe we would certainly have been putting pressure on Celtic to retain our championship, yes. Neil Lennon, meanwhile, is mindful of the fact that while Celtic are favourites, they come into this game off the back of defeat by Kilmarnock in last Sunday's Scottish League Cup final. I thought we played well in the final and, having watched the game again, I haven't changed my opinion, so there was no ranting and raving this week. The players know what's wanted and if they make the number of chances they got against Kilmarnock I'd be pretty pleased, especially if they take them. Off the field, it is understood that a new expression of interest in Rangers emerged from Singapore late on Friday afternoon, although it has yet to be established that this will become a substantial bid. On Saturday night Paul Clark, one of the two administrators employed by Duff & Phelps to unscramble the financial mess left by Craig Whyte, who bought the club from Sir David Murray last May, clarified his belief that a decision by Lord Hodge, in the Court of Session in Edinburgh on Friday, means that there could be circumstances in which Ticketus - the London agency which has rights over most of Rangers" season tickets until 2014-15 - might have its contract annulled. Ticketus is part of the Blue Knights consortium, assembled by Paul Murray, the former Rangers director. "We're pleased with the decision," said Clark. "Let's be clear on what the decision means - it gives us the power, if we think it is necessary and in the best interests of the creditors, to cancel Ticketus" rights to the season-tickets. It doesn't rule out a deal with the Blue Knights but what it does mean is we may not be able to do a deal right away because of the other competitive bids - we now need to take a proper look at them all. Really, the decision is a bit of a game-changer for the other bidders because with Ticketus in place few - if any - of them would have put forward a sensible bid because of the loss of the season-ticket revenue. We haven't cancelled the arrangement at the moment - Ticketus still have their rights - but it gives us the ability to cancel and then, yes, I think they would be a creditor. I would suggest we will be moving to a shortlist of maybe two or three bidders at some point next week, now that we can go back to them and determine what Ticketus means to each of them.
