Rangers boss Alex McLeish is prepared to "face the consequences" if he fails to win the league title next season.
The Ibrox side's Scottish Premier League hopes all but ended with a 2-1 Sunday loss to bitter rivals Celtic.
But McLeish believes the new players he plans to sign in the summer will make all the difference next time round.
"If I improve the squad over the next few months with the players I want, I am confident we will get it right," he told the Scottish Daily Express.
"I realise we need to take another step up and win the title again.
"If not, then I will hold my hands up and face the consequences. It's going to be a big season for all of us."
