Former Celtic favorite Stylian Petrov is confident that Celtic will secure their fourth consecutive Scottish Premiership title this season, despite the impressive challenge from Aberdeen. Currently tied on points with Aberdeen, Celtic remains undefeated in their first 11 league games. Petrov believes that Celtic’s dominant performance against Aberdeen in the Premier Sports Cup is proof that they can step up when needed.
Petrov, who knows the inner workings of Celtic well, points to the team’s ability to elevate their game when faced with stiff competition. He attributes this characteristic to their resilience and determination to maintain their position at the top of Scottish football. Petrov highlights Celtic’s scouting system for continuously seeking out new talent to add strength and depth to the team, ensuring their dominance in the league continues.
However, despite his confidence in Celtic’s capabilities, Petrov expresses doubt about Rangers’ ability to keep pace with both Celtic and Aberdeen this season. He notes that Rangers are facing pressure from multiple teams and may struggle to maintain consistency in their performance. Petrov emphasizes the importance of sustained form and results over an extended period, a challenge that Aberdeen will have to navigate as they continue to push Celtic and Rangers for the top spot.
Acknowledging Aberdeen’s impressive start and consistency, Petrov questions their capacity to maintain their current level of play throughout the season. He believes that while Aberdeen may be a rising force in Scottish football, Celtic and Rangers possess the experience and composure to handle the pressures that come with competing for the title. Petrov sees Aberdeen’s strong performance as a reflection of the fact that Celtic and Rangers cannot afford to become complacent and must continuously push themselves to stay ahead in a fiercely competitive league.
