Sutton Rules Out Celtic's Title Chances, Tips Hearts or Rangers for Victory

"Celtic's chances of winning the title are slim, with Hearts and Rangers being the likely contenders," according to Chris Sutton. The former Celtic player believes his old team faces an uphill task in securing their 14th league title since 2011. The Scottish Premiership has witnessed an intense title race, with no room for error as only five games remain. Recently, all three top teams - Hearts, Rangers, and Celtic - secured wins, maintaining the suspense. Hearts lead the table with a one-point advantage over Rangers, while Celtic trails by two points. Despite a 1-0 win over St Mirren, Celtic's performance was underwhelming. Meanwhile, Hearts came from behind to defeat Motherwell 3-1, and Rangers staged an incredible comeback to win 6-3 against Falkirk. Sutton expressed his doubts about Celtic's ability to retain their crown, stating, "It's impossible to predict, but I think it's between Hearts and Rangers." He emphasized the importance of focusing on the next game and securing a win. Rangers' player Scott Arfield, who was part of the team that won the top-flight title in 2021, believes it's too early to rule out any of the contenders. Arfield noted, "The next game is always the most important, and every team needs to find a way to win, as there's no room for error." The title race is expected to go down to the wire, with all teams striving to find a way to win.
