Chris Sutton, former Celtic striker, was taken aback by Rangers’ unexpected loss to Ross County last weekend, shaking up the Scottish Premiership title race. The 3-2 defeat has put Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic in a commanding position at the top of the table, four points ahead of Rangers, who still have a game in hand against Dundee.
The loss means that Celtic will lead the pack heading into the split, with Rangers needing to win at Celtic Park to stay in contention. Sutton sees this upcoming match as pivotal in determining the championship, giving Celtic an advantage. However, he warns against complacency, noting the unpredictable nature of football.
“Nobody saw that coming, least of all Philippe Clement. The lack of intensity from Rangers, especially after taking the lead, was surprising. Ross County posed a real threat and took the game away from them. It’s a bad day for Rangers,” Sutton said on the Daily Mail’s podcast.
The defeat to Ross County marks a significant moment in the title race, with both teams having a few games left to play. The race for the title is set to be an exciting and nail-biting finish to the season.
