Celtic manager Neil Lennon dismisses suggestions that the club's last two Scottish league titles have been devalued by the absence of rivals Rangers.

Celtic manager Neil Lennon has dismissed suggestions that the club's last two Scottish league titles have been devalued by the absence of rivals Rangers.

The Hoops picked up Scottish football's main prize for the 45th time when they won the Scottish Premiership on Wednesday.

With fellow Glasgow giants Rangers still working their way back up the divisions following their demotion to the fourth tier in 2012, Aberdeen, who are currently 26 points below Lennon's men in the league table, have been Celtic's main challengers this season.

"I was thinking about this in the car yesterday. Andy Murray won Wimbledon and Rafael Nadal didn't play in it and he's the best player in the world. Does that make his Wimbledon title devalued? No, of course it doesn't," insisted Lennon.

"There's no devaluing of our title success because our main opposition Rangers are not in that division. We have got to stay focused."

Celtic will play their final home game of the season this afternoon, with Ross County travelling to Parkhead.
