Former Celtic striker 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. With just five games left in the season, Sutton believes it will be a challenge too great for his former team to overcome. The Scottish Premiership has seen a thrilling title race, with all three teams winning on the same weekend for the first time since January. Hearts currently top the table, one point ahead of Rangers, with Celtic a further two points behind.
Despite Celtic's 1-0 win over St Mirren, Sutton thinks they will struggle to retain their crown. "It's impossible to predict, but I think it's between Hearts and Rangers," Sutton said. Rangers are now focusing on their upcoming game against Motherwell, who have been struggling lately.
However, Scott Arfield, a member of the last Rangers squad to win a top-flight title in 2021, believes it's too early to rule out any of the contenders. "The next game is always the most important, but Rangers will look at where they can win and have belief in their ability to do so," Arfield said. With no room for error, the title race is expected to go down to the wire.
