Neither Hearts nor Ibrox is good enough to “win” this title. But Celtic could lose it.

James Forrest of The Celtic Blog argues that although rivals Hearts and Rangers lack the quality to win the league title outright, Celtic risks losing it due to internal mismanagement and poor form. Forrest criticizes Celtic's reliance on outdated tactics and laments that the club failed to capitalize on Rangers dropping points in a draw with Hearts, leaving Celtic with only a four-point lead.

The writer claims that Hearts demonstrated a clear tactical plan compared to both Glasgow sides, while heavily criticizing Rangers manager Derek McInnes's post-match comments and managerial ability. Forrest expresses concern that Celtic's upcoming European fixture schedule, combined with a lack of modern operational structure, could lead to further dropped points in the Premiership title race.
