Rangers TV pundit tips Celtic title twist after what he's just heard from Ange Postecoglou

Alan Hutton has tipped both Celtic and Rangers to slip up in the hunt for the Scottish Premiership title this season.

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the Rangers TV pundit admitted he expects both teams to drop points outside of the two remaining Glasgow derbies.

As quoted by BBC Sport after Sunday’s win over Livingston (6 March), Ange Postecoglou claimed Celtic will be a “hard team to stop” as they look to wrestle back the top-flight title.

Hutton admired the Celtic manager’s confidence but insisted Rangers have reason to believe they could also go on a winning run until the end of the season.

However, he admitted both clubs have shown enough frailty to drop points to their other top-flight rivals.

Hutton told Football Insider’s Russell Edge: “There are only eight games left, that is it. It’s not like there are loads to go. There are only eight games to go and two of them are Old Firm games.

“It may come down to that. I’ve still got a feeling both teams could possibly drop points elsewhere, which is obviously a worry.

“What I like about Ange Postecoglou is he’s very open and honest. He doesn’t try and pull the wool over anybody’s eyes. If they get beat, he tells it how it is, if they win, he tells it how it is.

“He feels his team are a winning team, a team that’s capable of probably going eight games unbeaten. He’s confident of that and it’s good to hear that but I think Rangers are very similar at the moment.

“Yes, their form’s been a bit up and down but they’re more than capable of going on a winning run.”

Celtic currently sit three points of Rangers clear at the top of the Premiership table.
