Chris Sutton insists Rangers are mounting a very real title challenge, expresses concerns over Celtic’s lack of striking back-up

Rangers have given Celtic a run for their money in the Scottish Premiership thus far this season, and are currently level on points with the Hoops at the top of the table.

Both sides have picked up 31 points each from their opening 12 games, conceding seven goals apiece, and Celtic are only ahead of Rangers having scored one more goal (36) than the Light Blues (35).

It remains to be seen if Steven Gerrard’s side can keep up their push and eventually stop Neil Lennon’s men from making it nine league titles in a row, but Hoops legend Chris Sutton is concerned about Celtic’s lack of striking depth, insisting there is a very real challenge coming from Rangers this season.
