It will be ideal to see this competition come to a close with a thrilling finish between these teams, as revealed by Sky Sports. This season has undoubtedly been one of the best in recent years in the Scottish Premiership.

And as Martin O’Neill declared, Celtic are not out of it at all and now have a firm mentality to obtain the championship: “We are not out of this at all. I knew there would be twists and turns this year. It is disappointing to drop points today, but we are still there fighting.”

In addition, Rangers manager Danny Rohl also declared for Sky Sports that they have personality and character to overcome adversities and compete for this championship: “We have personality and character, but we conceded two goals and that makes it very difficult. In the end, it was exactly the match I expected, and in those two or three moments, you have to be there.”

Being, without a doubt, a three-team race not to be missed for the Scottish Premier League, it is expected to see a final stretch that leads us to the excitement of knowing the next champion in the last matchdays of the season.
