Sutton Rules Out Celtic's Title Hopes, Tips Hearts or Rangers for Victory
Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton has cast doubt on his old team's ability to secure their 14th league title since 2011, instead backing either Hearts or Rangers to claim the championship. With just five games remaining in the Scottish Premiership, the title race has intensified, and Sutton believes Celtic's chances of winning are slim. Following a dramatic weekend that saw all three top teams emerge victorious, Hearts remain at the top of the table, one point ahead of Rangers, with Celtic trailing by two points. Despite Celtic's 1-0 win over St Mirren, Sutton thinks they are unlikely to retain their crown, saying 'it's out of Hearts and Rangers.' The former Hoops striker's comments came after witnessing Rangers' remarkable 6-3 comeback victory at Falkirk. Sutton warned that the title race is impossible to predict, with each team needing to focus on their next game to stay in contention. Meanwhile, Rangers' Scott Arfield refuses to rule out any of the contenders, emphasizing the importance of finding a way to win in the high-pressure final stages of the season. With no room for error, the title race is set to go down to the wire, and Arfield believes all three teams will be giving it their all to emerge victorious.
