Former Celtic player Chris Sutton believes his old team is unlikely to secure their 14th league title since 2011, suggesting the competition is now between Hearts and Rangers. With only five games remaining in the Scottish Premiership, the margin for error is minimal. Sutton's comments come after a dramatic weekend where all three teams won, leaving Hearts at the top of the table, one point ahead of Rangers, and Celtic two points behind.
Despite Celtic's 1-0 win over St Mirren, Sutton thinks it will be challenging for them to catch up. Hearts came from behind to defeat Motherwell 3-1, while Rangers staged an impressive comeback to win 6-3 against Falkirk. Sutton expressed his doubts about Celtic's chances, stating, 'It's impossible to predict.
I don't think Celtic can win it, it's out of Hearts and Rangers.' He advised focusing on the next game, as the title race is highly unpredictable. Rangers player Scott Arfield, however, refuses to rule out any of the contenders, emphasizing the importance of finding a way to win at this stage of the competition.
