Considering the most recent set of outcomes, John Barnes has offered his opinion on the Scottish Premiership title action.
Celtic and Rangers, who are vying for the top spot in the Scottish Premiership, have resumed their regular activities after their thrilling six-goal Old Firm match at Ibrox. The Hoops easily defeated St. Mirren 3-0 on Sunday to make up for their inability to capitalize on their 2-0 advantage in the derby. Unfortunately, Ross County stole all three points from the Gers during their game, leaving them dumbfounded.
Similar to their matchup with Celtic, Rangers’ ordeal began with an early own goal by Ross County opening the score, but the Staggies won 3-1, leaving Rangers down by two goals.
Although the championship contenders managed to score a late penalty from James Tavernier, the outcome remained unfavorable.
After the most recent outcomes, Celtic now lead their bitter rivals by four points. But Rangers will play their crucial match this evening instead of replaying their postponed match against Dundee. With a victory, the two Glasgow teams’ difference would drop to just one point, but Brendan Rodgers will still be in charge. John Barnes, a former manager of the Hoops and icon of Liverpool, thinks Celtic will maintain this edge until the end of the season, although he has compared this title fight to the Premier League.
The former England international told the Daily Record, “I don’t think Celtic will make a mistake because they currently have the advantage.”
The winning team in each of Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal has fluctuated from week to week. Similar circumstances exist in Scotland, where Rangers would undoubtedly be the heavy favorite if they had defeated Motherwell a few weeks prior.
Although Celtic are now leading the way, Rangers have been there before. You truly expect Celtic and Rangers to win the majority of their games.
The title belongs to whoever has the upper hand. Thus, Celtic has the upper hand. The Premiership trophy for this season will be lifted by one of the teams in the final few games.
In addition, the two title rivals have to consider their next Scottish Cup semi-final matches against Aberdeen and Hearts, respectively, with the goal of reaching an all-Glasgow final.
