Sutton Rules Out Celtic's Title Chances, Tips Hearts or Rangers for Victory

Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton has expressed his doubts about his old team's ability to secure their 14th league title since 2011, instead backing either Hearts or Rangers to take the top spot. With just five games remaining in the Scottish Premiership season, the competition is fierce, and Sutton believes it will be a two-horse race between Hearts and Rangers. "It's impossible to predict, but I think it's between Hearts and Rangers," Sutton said, citing Celtic's recent performance as a factor in his decision. The title race has been marked by drama and surprise, with all three teams winning on the same weekend for the first time since January. Hearts currently lead the table, one point ahead of Rangers, with Celtic a further two points behind. Despite the uncertainty, Sutton is convinced that Celtic's chances are slim. "You just focus on the next game and try to win it," he said. Meanwhile, Rangers' Scott Arfield believes it's too early to rule out any of the contenders, saying, "The next game is always the most important, but we look at where we think we can win and have belief in our ability to do so." With no room for error, the title race is set to go down to the wire.
