Celtic captain Scott Brown says beating Rangers to win the Scottish Premiership on Sunday would be the "sweetest" Old Firm victory of his career.

Hibs delayed Celtic's title celebrations on Saturday after beating Brendan Rodgers' side 2-1 at Easter Road, but they can be crowned champions for a seventh successive time against Rangers on Sunday, live on Sky Sports Football.

Brown is confident of their chances after winning five of the last six Old Firm games, but has warned his team-mates to be on their guard as they battle for an historic second treble in two seasons.

"It's always special to win a title at Celtic Park and to do it against Rangers would be fantastic. I'm sure the fans will be loving it," said Brown, speaking at the launch of the club's new home kit for the 2018/19 campaign.

"If we could win it, it would be the sweetest Rangers-Celtic victory [I've ever experienced].

When asked whether they have a psychological edge over Rangers, he added: "Yeah, that's now 10 games we're undefeated against them so that speaks for itself. Every game is different but we're looking forward to it.

"But we need to make sure we turn up and do our job. We've had a couple of hard games against them at Celtic Park but the lads are looking forward to it.

"Rangers are going to have to come after us a little bit more and try to set their own mark on the game. But we'll do what we always do. We'll turn up, we'll play our own game - and when we do that we know we can beat any team in this country."
