The recent turn of events in Celtic’s Scottish Premiership campaign has been nothing short of surprising. The 3-3 draw against Rangers at Ibrox set the stage for an unexpected twist in the title race.
Despite the initial setback, Brendan Rodgers’ side remained a point ahead of their rivals heading into the next round of fixtures. A comfortable 3-0 victory over St Mirren widened the gap to four points, only for Rangers to stumble against Ross County in Dingwall.
As Phillipe Clement’s team failed to secure a win against Dundee, Celtic found themselves three points clear at the top of the table with a superior goal difference as they entered the post-split fixtures.
The momentum shift in the title race was undeniably sparked by the dramatic events at Ibrox, where Rangers missed out on a crucial opportunity to capitalize on home advantage and secure a vital victory.
Looking ahead, Rodgers and his team are well aware of the work that still needs to be done to secure the title and the accompanying benefits, including automatic entry to the Champions League.
In the midst of discussions surrounding Celtic’s draw at Ibrox, Graeme Souness stood by his controversial opinion that the point earned by Rangers was more valuable than Celtic’s on that day. Despite recent slip-ups by Rangers, Souness maintained his stance, emphasizing the significance of that result in the title race.
With the title race heating up, Celtic must remain focused and determined as they aim for another league crown. The upcoming fixture against Dundee presents an opportunity for the Hoops to solidify their position at the top of the table and continue their pursuit of glory.
