ZeeboiBoth Celtic and Rangers experienced defeats on the same weekend, a rare occurrence that has happened only five times in the last fifteen years in the Scottish Premiership.
Brendan Rodgers’ side suffered a 2-1 loss to Hibernian at Easter Road, presenting Rangers with a significant opportunity to narrow the gap at the top of the table with a victory over St Mirren at Ibrox.
However, instead of capitalizing on the chance, Philippe Clement’s team faltered, losing 2-0 to Stephen Robinson’s disciplined St Mirren side.
The missed opportunity for Rangers drew a sharp reaction from Chris Sutton on social media. The former Celtic striker took to X, writing:
“Even when the door is left ajar… dear me, time for change.”
Sutton’s pointed comment underscores Rangers’ failure to seize the moment and apply pressure on Celtic, though the pressure would have been minimal regardless.
Despite both teams dropping points, Celtic ended the weekend further ahead of Rangers, with their goal difference even increasing by one over their Glasgow rivals.
The coming week promises to be intriguing, particularly for Rangers. Questions linger over Philippe Clement’s future, as he has been under scrutiny for much of the season. However, there are no immediate indications that a sacking is on the horizon.
Meanwhile, Celtic will aim to return to winning form on Tuesday when Aberdeen visit Glasgow. The Dons, who have won their last three matches, are currently in good form and will pose a challenge.
