Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton has expressed his doubts about his old team's chances of winning the title, suggesting it's a two-horse race between Hearts and Rangers. With just five games left in the season, the margin for error is minimal. Sutton's comments came after a dramatic weekend that saw all three title contenders secure wins, with Hearts maintaining their one-point lead over Rangers and Celtic trailing by two points. Despite Celtic's 1-0 win over St Mirren, Sutton believes they face an uphill task in retaining their crown.
"It's impossible to predict, but I think it's between Hearts and Rangers," he said. The title race is set to go down to the wire, with each team facing high-pressure matches.
Rangers' focus now shifts to their upcoming game against Motherwell, who have struggled lately but could still pose a significant challenge. Scott Arfield, a member of Rangers' 2021 title-winning squad, cautions against ruling out any of the contenders, emphasizing the importance of finding a way to win in the season's final stretch.
