As the Scottish Premiership season heats up, Celtic maintain their lead at the top of the table, with Aberdeen and Rangers close behind, eager to close the gap. Aberdeen, currently tied on points with Celtic, will face Rangers at Pittodrie in a match that could prove pivotal in the title race. Both teams remain unbeaten, setting the stage for a defining moment in the season as Aberdeen aim to intensify the pressure on Brendan Rodgers’ side.
While the Dons prepare for their clash with Rangers, Celtic will aim to extend their own unbeaten domestic streak against Dundee at Celtic Park. Rodgers will be keen to secure another three points, while Tony Docherty’s Dundee side arrive ready to test the defending champions.
Chris Sutton Weighs In on Aberdeen vs Rangers
Ahead of Wednesday’s doubleheader, Celtic fans and pundits are speculating on what result best suits Celtic’s title ambitions. On It’s All Kicking Off, club legend Chris Sutton responded to a fan question about which outcome would ideally favour Celtic in the showdown at Pittodrie.
In his characteristically cheeky style, Sutton remarked: “Oh, it’s big. Are we talking about supporters or Brendan Rodgers? Brendan Rodgers would probably prefer a draw. The supporters would probably… so what result would Celtic prefer? They’d probably prefer Aberdeen eight, Rangers nil.”
Sutton’s response, though humorous, highlights a genuine divide: many Celtic fans would relish a decisive Aberdeen victory over Rangers. At the same time, Rodgers may prefer a draw, which would keep Celtic’s lead intact over both sides.
If the Hoops win against Dundee, a win for Aberdeen would not only keep them level with Celtic but could also increase the pressure on Rangers. Meanwhile, a draw might be ideal for Celtic, allowing them to focus on extending their lead. All eyes will be on Pittodrie tomorrow night as the Scottish Premiership title race looks set for another thrilling twist.
