Rangers and Celtic title prediction shared by Keith Jackson after ‘chaotic’ weekend

Keith Jackson says the Scottish Premiership title battle between Rangers and Celtic will ultimately come down to who can handle the pressure better.

Rangers, who suffered a shocking 2-1 defeat to Motherwell on Saturday, created an opportunity for Celtic to reclaim the top spot this next weekend (2 March).
But the next day, Celtic lost 2-0 on the road at Hearts and are still two points behind in second place.”Maybe they ought to remember the importance of a good plot now that every man and his dog in the SPFL are busy writing their own stories,” Jackson said in his reflections on the weekend’s events in his column for the Daily Record’s print edition [4 March, pages 37 & 38].
And they should make every effort to stay with the one they like once they’ve discovered one. Because there is a significant distinction between a plot and losing one. Rangers and Celtic alternated doing just that during the course of an incredibly turbulent weekend.

“With the finish line in sight for the race for the title, you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to understand what’s at stake.”Although tensions are rising and people’s patience is wearing thin, between now and May, as is usually the case in these high-stress situations, calm heads and a resilient spirit will be needed.
On Saturday, Rangers gave up their composure when all they needed to do to take a five-point lead at the top of the league was a routine victory against Motherwell.

Under Philippe Clement, Rangers had gained a lot of momentum, but they would never be able to sustain the winning streak for the whole of the season.
Although the Gers’ loss to Motherwell shocked everyone, they will still lose points before the season is out. Now that the two-point buffer separates the sides, it’s just a matter of matching Celtic stride for stride. Weekends don’t get much more dramatic than what we’ve witnessed over the last few days. In fact, this is the first time the Old Firm duo has suffered a loss on the same weekend in six years. Both Celtic and Rangers have managers and players who have been in title fights before, and those seasoned leaders must stand up.
For their part, supporters need to make sure they stand by the group no matter what happens, especially if the outcomes are not what was anticipated.
With two months remaining in the season, get ready for a few more surprises.
