After Rangers suffered a disappointing 2-0 loss to St Mirren, Chris Sutton couldn’t resist the opportunity to take a playful jab at his rivals. Despite Celtic’s own setback with a 2-1 defeat to Hibernian earlier in the day, they still maintain a comfortable 13-point lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership, courtesy of their city rivals’ slip-up at Ibrox.
Known for his quick wit and clever humor, Sutton remarked, “Even when the door is left ajar… dear me, time for change.” It was a sly dig at Rangers’ inability to capitalize on Celtic’s rare misstep in the league.
The result today provided Celtic with a timely lifeline as they continue their quest for another title. With just six more league wins needed to secure their fourth consecutive championship, Brendan Rodgers’ men will be looking to maintain their dominance in the Scottish Premiership.
Their next challenge comes in the form of a home game against Aberdeen on Tuesday evening. After a draw with Bayern Munich and a loss to Hibernian this week, Celtic will be eager to bounce back and secure all three points against Jimmy Thelin’s side. A victory would not only extend their lead over Rangers but also serve as a statement of intent as they aim to reclaim their place at the top of the table.
As the race for the Scottish Premiership title heats up, Celtic are determined to stay ahead of the pack and continue their winning streak. With every match bringing them closer to their ultimate goal, they are focused on maintaining their form and securing another championship under their belt.
