ZeeboiChris Sutton couldn’t help but take a sly jab at Rangers following their defeat to Hibernian on Saturday, a result that edged Celtic nearer to clinching the Scottish Premiership title.
The team managed by Barry Ferguson found themselves trailing 1-0 early at Ibrox, with Jack Butland unable to keep out Dylan Levvitt’s effort from just outside the penalty area.
After the break, Martin Boyle extended Hibs’ lead, latching onto a precise pass from Jordan Obita that split the Rangers defense, before charging forward and slotting home.
Sutton wasted no time after the final whistle, taking to X with a playful taunt: ‘How did Bazball go today?’.
This fifth consecutive home defeat for Rangers means Celtic could seal the championship as early as next Saturday when they face Kilmarnock at Parkhead—provided they secure a win against St Johnstone in Perth this afternoon.
A victory at McDiarmid Park, where they previously thrashed their hosts 6-0 this season, would see Celtic surge 16 points ahead at the summit of the Scottish Premiership.
Simo Valakari’s St Johnstone, meanwhile, are scrapping to avoid relegation, sitting eight points clear of the play-off spot after Dundee’s 2-0 victory over St Mirren on Saturday.
In their last encounter with Celtic, Brendan Rodgers’ side cruised to a 4-0 win, with Nicolas Kuhn, Kyogo Furuhashi, and Daizen Maeda finding the net.
Should Celtic replicate that performance today, they’d be just one victory away from locking down the Scottish Premiership crown once more.
