Ex-Hoops striker Chris Sutton delivers stunning verdict that Rangers are better positioned than Celtic to claim Premiership crown.
In a bombshell assessment that has sent shockwaves through Scottish football, Celtic legend Chris Sutton has backed his former club's bitter rivals Rangers to lift the Scottish Premiership trophy this season. The ex-striker's bold prediction represents a stunning vote of no confidence in the Parkhead outfit's title credentials.
Sutton's verdict comes as both Glasgow giants battle for domestic supremacy in one of world football's most intense rivalries. The former England international, who scored 86 goals across five seasons in Celtic's famous green and white hoops, believes Philippe Clement's Rangers squad possesses the stronger foundation for a sustained title challenge.
The Scottish Premiership has long been a breeding ground for African talent, with stars like Victor Wanyama and Moussa Dembele using Celtic as a launchpad to Europe's elite leagues. Current Hoops midfielder Reo Hatate continues this tradition, while Rangers have their own continental connections through players who've graced African competitions.
Sutton's assessment will undoubtedly fuel the fire in Glasgow's east end, where Celtic supporters will be determined to prove their former hero wrong. With the season still unfolding, both Old Firm clubs know that actions on the pitch will ultimately determine whether Sutton's controversial prediction proves prophetic or premature.
