Yesterday’s win for Celtic against St Mirren was a pivotal moment, putting them four points ahead at the top of the Scottish Premiership. The victory provided them with a comfortable lead over Rangers, who lagged behind with two games in hand. However, their hopes of closing the gap were dashed as they suffered a surprising 3-2 defeat at Dingwall at the hands of Philippe Clement’s Staggies.
An incredible second-half performance from Ross County saw Simon Murray, George Harmon, and Josh Sims scoring to cancel out Jack Baldwin’s first-half own goal. James Tavernier’s late penalty for Rangers was not enough to salvage a win, resulting in a historic victory for Ross County over one of Glasgow’s top clubs.
With all eyes now on Rangers for a crucial must-win game at Dens Park, the pressure is mounting. Meanwhile, Celtic can sit back and relax, knowing they are in a commanding position at the top of the league. Chris Sutton took a light-hearted jab at Rangers’ manager, highlighting the stumble in the Highlands.
Looking ahead, Brendan Rodgers and his team have a strategic advantage with three upcoming home games, including the highly anticipated Glasgow Derby. As the final five fixtures of the season approach, Celtic fans can feel confident with their team’s current position. The defeat at Dingwall has undoubtedly shaken Rangers’ confidence as they prepare for their crucial final game in hand.
