According to Pat Nevin, Celtic’s odds of winning the Scottish Premiership are marginally better than Rangers’, but Philippe Clement has the power to change the outcome if he makes a significant acquisition before the deadline.
After 23 games, the Hoops lead Rangers by five points, but the Light Blues have a game left to close the gap to their local rivals by two points in what looks to be one of the most exciting title chases in recent memory.
With just over a third of the season remaining, we’re approaching the business end of the campaign. Following Michael Beale’s disastrous start to the season, Brendan Rodgers’ team appeared to be winning hands-down, but a string of mistakes over the Christmas break have thrust Clement back into the race.
Rangers have already signed two players, and there could be two more coming in January when deals for Jefte and Oscar Cortes close. Meanwhile, Celtic is dragging their heels, with no close arrivals and only Nicolas Kuhn entering Lennoxtown. Nevin has advised Clement on how to go win the league so that his name may live on in Ibrox legend, even if he thinks Celtic are now only marginally in the race.
