Former Celtic player Chris Sutton has expressed his doubts about his old team's ability to secure their 14th league title since 2011, believing it will now be a two-horse race between Hearts and Rangers. With just five games left in the Scottish Premiership season, the margin for error is minimal. Sutton's comments came after a dramatic weekend that saw all three title contenders emerge victorious, with Hearts maintaining their lead at the top of the table, one point ahead of Rangers and two points ahead of Celtic.
Despite Celtic's 1-0 win over St Mirren, Sutton thinks they are unlikely to retain their crown, stating, 'It's impossible to predict. I don't think Celtic can win it, it's out of Hearts and Rangers.' Rangers' focus now shifts to their upcoming match against Motherwell, a team that has struggled lately but could still pose a challenge. Meanwhile, Scott Arfield, a member of the last Rangers squad to win a top-flight title in 2021, cautions against ruling out any of the contenders, emphasizing the importance of finding a way to win in the high-pressure final stages of the season.
