Aberdeen manager Jimmy Calderwood believes Rangers would have won the Scottish Premier League title if they hadn't been hampered by fixture congestion.
Calderwood's side put the final nail in Rangers' title hopes after defeating the Glasgow club 2-0 at Pittodrie on Thursday night.
But despite effectively handing the league title to Celtic, Calderwood was full of sympathy for Rangers' plight.
He said: "Of course I feel for Walter (Smith) and assistants Ally McCoist and Kenny McDowall.
"Take nothing away from Celtic's title, but I honestly believe that, if Rangers didn't have the programme that they had, they would have won the league."
