"Celtic's chances of winning the title are slim, with Hearts and Rangers being the top contenders," according to Chris Sutton. The former Celtic player believes it will be a significant challenge for his old team to secure their 14th league title since 2011. With only five games left in the season, the Scottish Premiership title race has become increasingly intense, with no room for error. Recently, all three top teams - Hearts, Rangers, and Celtic - secured wins, with Hearts maintaining their top spot, one point ahead of Rangers and two points ahead of Celtic.
Despite Celtic's 1-0 win over St Mirren, Sutton doubts their ability to retain the title. "It's difficult to predict, but I think it's between Hearts and Rangers," he said. Sutton's comments came after Rangers' remarkable 6-3 comeback win against Falkirk. Meanwhile, Scott Arfield, a Rangers player, thinks it's too early to rule out any of the contenders, stating that every game is crucial at this stage, and all teams must find a way to win.
