The pressure to win the Scottish Premiership is really ramping up and as both Celtic and Rangers suffered defeats this weekend, it really is a toss of the coin who could end up as champions.
At one point Celtic were in the driving seat as they sat ten points clear at the top of the table but now two points behind, Brendan Rodgers will be looking to reclaim that top spot sooner rather than later.
However, as the Hearts defeat still sinks in with both sets of supporters, former Celtic hero, John Hartson, is unwavering on who he thinks is going to be the victors this season.
But it still didn’t stop him having a pop at Paul Cooney on The Go Radio Football Show after the presenter asked Hartson who he thought was going to in the title.
Cooney: “John who’s gonna win it?”
Hartson: “Well, what do you think? Seriously, what a daft question that is.”
Cooney: “It’s not a daft question, John.”
Hartson: “It’s a completely daft question. 110 goals I’ve scored for Celtic. Come on, Paul.”
Cooney: “John, I’ve asked many daft questions, but that’s not one of them. You said last week it’s 60/40.“
Hartson: “Hold on, can we go back to VAR?”
Cooney: “It’s not a daft question John. You think it’s Celtic and that’s fine. Of course, it is.”
Hartson: ‘Alright, I’ll give you an answer, Celtic!”
It’s a question that is going to be asked from now until either club takes the initiative and grabs the race for the championship by the scruff of the neck.
With four fixtures to go until the split, including a Glasgow Derby next month, there is no way of telling who will come up trumps yet.
But what it will come down to is a question of bottle. Who has the stomach for the fight? With Celtic having multiple title winners in their squad, the smart money would be on the Parkhead club but as always, you can just never tell with football.
