Celtic’s recent 2-2 draw with Aberdeen has allowed Rangers a missed opportunity to close the gap in the Scottish Premiership title race. Sitting six points behind Celtic before their away trip to Kilmarnock, Rangers had a chance to cut the deficit to three points. However, a 1-0 defeat at Rugby Park dealt a significant blow to their title hopes.
Chris Sutton, a former Celtic striker, reacted on social media, praising Kilmarnock’s disciplined performance and pointing out that both Celtic and Aberdeen have widened the gap at the top of the table. Sutton’s analysis emphasized how Rangers “blew” the chance to get back into the race and lauded Kilmarnock for their organization and resilience.
Celtic’s upcoming fixtures provide an opportunity for them to extend their lead further. They face Motherwell away next weekend, followed by a home match against Dundee before the international break. Afterward, they host Kilmarnock, a team that just caused Rangers trouble.
Meanwhile, Rangers face a challenging schedule as well, with matches against high-flying St Mirren, Aberdeen at Pittodrie, and Motherwell away. If Rangers drop points in any of these matches, it could solidify Aberdeen as Celtic’s main competitor for the title this season .
