"Celtic's chances of winning the title are slim, with the competition now between Hearts and Rangers," according to Chris Sutton. The former Celtic player believes his old team faces an uphill task in securing their 14th league title since 2011. The Scottish Premiership has witnessed an intense title race, with only five games left to play and no room for error. Following a weekend where all three top teams won, Hearts remain at the top of the table, one point ahead of Rangers, and two points ahead of Celtic.
Despite their recent wins, Sutton doubts Celtic can retain their crown. "It's too close to call, but I think it's between Hearts and Rangers," he stated.
"The focus is on the next game, and winning it." Rangers' Scott Arfield agrees that the title race is far from over, saying, "At this stage, you need to find a way to win, and all three teams will feel the same way. There's no margin for error, and this title race will go down to the wire."
