Former Celtic player Chris Sutton has expressed his doubts about Celtic's ability to win the title, stating that it is now a two-horse race between Hearts and Rangers. Sutton's comments come after a thrilling weekend in the Scottish Premiership, which saw all three teams secure victories. Despite Celtic's 1-0 win over St Mirren, Sutton believes they are unlikely to clinch their 14th league title since 2011.
Hearts currently top the table, one point ahead of Rangers, with Celtic a further two points behind. Sutton's assessment is that Celtic's chances of winning the title are slim, and it will be a battle between Hearts and Rangers for the top spot.
The former Hoops striker made these comments after watching Rangers' incredible 6-3 comeback win at Falkirk. With just five games left in the season, the margin for error is minimal, and all three teams will be looking to capitalize on any slip-ups.
Rangers player Scott Arfield, however, is more cautious, stating that it is too early to rule out any of the contenders and that the next game is always the most important. The title race is set to go down to the wire, with each team facing intense pressure to perform.
