Former Celtic player Chris Sutton has expressed his doubts about his old team's ability to secure their 14th league title since 2011, stating that it will be a two-horse race between Hearts and Rangers. With only five games left in the season, the margin for error is nonexistent, making every match crucial. Sutton's comments came after a dramatic weekend that saw all three teams 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 believes they are out of the running, saying, 'It's impossible to predict, but I think it's between Hearts and Rangers.' Rangers' focus now shifts to their upcoming game against Motherwell, a team that has struggled lately but is still capable of pulling off an upset.
Meanwhile, Scott Arfield, a member of the last Rangers squad to win a top-flight title in 2021, thinks it's too early to count any team out, emphasizing the importance of finding a way to win in the final stretch of the season.
