Celtic remains at the pinnacle of the Scottish Premiership, maintaining their league leadership even as Rangers secured a 3-1 victory over Ross County in their game in hand on Wednesday night.
This result sets the stage for an intriguing weekend of football, with Celtic looking to extend their lead and Rangers aiming to keep the pressure on their city rivals.
The match against Kilmarnock on Saturday presents Celtic with a prime opportunity to underline their title credentials and demonstrate their superiority. The last encounter between these two teams in October ended in a 3-1 victory for Celtic, a game that saw the Hoops dominate with 27 shots. A repeat performance would not only secure crucial points but also send a strong message to their rivals.
Celtic’s recent 2-0 Scottish Cup win over St Mirren showcased a team that appears to be finding its rhythm, especially in the attacking third. Tactical adjustments and a formation change have breathed new life into their offensive play, making them look more dangerous and cohesive as a unit.
As Rangers prepare for their Sunday match against St Johnstone, the pressure is on both teams to secure victories and keep the title race as competitive as ever. Celtic, however, has the advantage of playing first, giving them the chance to extend their lead and add psychological pressure on Rangers.
