Hibernian striker Derek Riordan has promised Rangers he will try just as hard to shoot down Celtic on Sunday after denting the Ibrox club's Clydesdale Bank Premier League title hopes.

Riordan, who spent a miserable two years at Parkhead before returning to Hibs this summer, scored the opener in Wednesday night's 1-1 draw with Rangers at Easter Road. The strike allowed Celtic to stay top of the table on goal difference going into the final two games of the season.

Riordan told his club's official website, www.hibs.co.uk: "It doesn't make a difference to Hibernian if Celtic win the league or not. We will be going out to win the game on Sunday."

He added: "It doesn't interest me about other clubs - I'm happy as long as I'm playing well and scoring goals for my team."

Riordan believes his partnership with Steven Fletcher can be the undoing of Celtic on Sunday after the pair combined for his goal against Rangers.

He said: "Steven and I have a great understanding up front.

"In terms of movement and passing, I read his game well and he reads mine well.

"Obviously, I played with Garry O'Connor in the past and I think our partnership is up there with that one.

"I really enjoy playing alongside Fletch."
