Roma coach Claudio Ranieri has given former side Juventus a salutary soliloquy, telling them to still have faith in the Scudetto, despite the seven point gap with Inter.

The Old Lady are lagging behind the league leaders, but Ranieri, who coached the team for two seasons, believes they can win the Scudetto if they keep holding onto the hand of faith.

"I am sorry that my Roma side are not in the higher part of the league, but I am not thinking about this," Ranieri told the press.

"I am looking at other teams. Inter have a big advantage in the league, but if I was [Juventus]in second place I would carry on believing."

Roma travel to the San Siro on Sunday where they play host to Inter. Juve will be hoping the former 'Tinkerman' can do them a favor.
