Celtic stretched their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership after Rangers dropped more points at St Mirren.
The Ibrox club’s stuttering start to the season continues after drawing 1-1 with Stephen Robinson’s side in Paisley less than 24 hours after Celtic beat Livingston.
Celtic are currently six points clear of Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership as this weekend finishes in a real positive turn for the Hoops support.
As Celtic fans take aim at the board, all that will be briefly forgotten for a moment after Chris Sutton’s superb tweet hammers home a reality to Rangers that won’t go down well over Ibrox way.
Chris Sutton’s brutal Rangers put-down as Celtic go seven points clear
Sutton has a knack of noising up the Rangers support after a poor result and, this time, the Celtic hero repeated a familiar tweet this week.
Taking to X, Sutton said, “Good point for Rangers in the end…”
That’s now six points dropped for Rangers as Celtic continue their 100% win rate record and take a commanding six-point lead at the top of the league table.
With the Glasgow Derby up next weekend, all the pressure is on Rangers not to drop more points to Celtic in the race for the league title.
Celtic can’t focus on Rangers with Kairat Almaty up next
Brendan Rodgers will undoubtedly be told of the Rangers result when he and the Celtic squad land in Kazakhstan over the next few hours.
However, the Celtic manager will not get himself too bogged down on our rivals. Kairat Almaty will have Rodgers’ undivided attention over the next two days.
And if Celtic can find a way past Kairat and into the Champions League phase this week, then Rodgers can start thinking about the Ibrox Glasgow Derby.
