Celtic are poised to clinch their dominance in the Scottish Premiership with a decisive blow against Rangers this Saturday.
With only three league matches remaining, they hold a three-point lead and a superior goal difference, positioning them as the clear favorites to secure their 12th title in 13 seasons.
Despite Rangers' resurgence under Philippe Clement after Michael Beale's departure, Celtic managed to reclaim the top spot amidst a rollercoaster season for both clubs. The return of key players from injury, including captain Callum McGregor and US international defender Cameron Carter-Vickers, has provided a significant boost to Celtic's campaign.
Manager Brendan Rodgers acknowledges the challenges they faced earlier in the season but sees his team progressing in the right direction, emphasizing the importance of mentality in the final stretch.
The rivalry between the two clubs intensifies as they gear up for their showdown at Celtic Park, with tensions flaring after Rodgers' remarks about having "fun" in the upcoming match. Clement, angered by the perceived lack of respect, vows that his team is hungry for victory and eager to equalize the standings.
Beyond the title race, both teams eye a triumphant end to the season, with the Scottish Cup final looming ahead. The stakes are high, not only in terms of silverware but also for securing direct entry into the Champions League, which carries significant financial implications.
In the context of Scottish football, where every victory holds immense weight, the outcome of Saturday's clash could shape the landscape of Glasgow for years to come.
