Former Celtic player Chris Sutton has cast doubt on his old team's ability to secure their 14th league title since 2011, instead believing the championship will be contested between Hearts and Rangers. With just five games remaining in the Scottish Premiership, the margin for error is minimal. Sutton's comments come after a dramatic weekend that saw all three title contenders emerge victorious, with Hearts maintaining their lead at the top of the table. "It's impossible to predict, but I think it's between Hearts and Rangers," Sutton said.
"Celtic face an uphill task to retain their crown." The intense title race has been marked by a series of thrilling matches, including Rangers' remarkable 6-3 comeback win at Falkirk. As the season enters its final stretch, Sutton emphasized the importance of taking it one game at a time.
"You just focus on the next match and try to win it," he said. Meanwhile, Rangers' Scott Arfield cautioned against ruling out any of the contenders, stressing that the next game is always the most crucial.
"At this stage, you need to find a way to win, and there's no room for error," Arfield said. With the title race poised to go down to the wire, the upcoming matches promise to be electrifying.
