Former Celtic player Chris Sutton has expressed his doubts about his old team's ability to win the title, stating that it is now a two-horse race between Hearts and Rangers. With only five games left in the Scottish Premiership season, the margin for error is nonexistent. Sutton's comments came after a dramatic weekend that saw all three title contenders secure wins, with Hearts maintaining their lead at the top of the table.
Celtic struggled to a 1-0 win over St Mirren, while Hearts came from behind to beat Motherwell 3-1, and Rangers staged an incredible comeback to win 6-3 at Falkirk. Despite the intense competition, Sutton believes that Celtic's chances of retaining their crown are slim. "It's impossible to predict, but I think it's between Hearts and Rangers," he said. Meanwhile, Rangers' Scott Arfield refuses to rule out any of the contenders, emphasizing that every game is crucial at this stage.
"The next game is always the most important, but we look at where we think we can win and have belief in where we can win," he said. With the title race set to go down to the wire, all three teams will be fighting for every point in their remaining matches.
