Former Celtic hero Chris Sutton has delivered a brutal verdict on the Hoops’ title chances this season, declaring that Brendan Rodgers’ side simply don’t have what it takes to win the Scottish Premiership. The outspoken pundit pulled no punches in his assessment of Celtic’s recent form, suggesting the team has been far too generous to opposition sides.
Sutton, who knows a thing or two about winning titles in the green and white, pointed to Celtic’s defensive frailties as a key concern, claiming the Hoops have made opponents ‘look like Brazil’ at times this season. It’s a stinging critique from a man who remains deeply passionate about the club he represented with such distinction.
While Sutton’s comments will sting supporters, there’s no denying that inconsistency has plagued Celtic at crucial moments. The former striker’s criticism reflects a growing frustration among sections of the Celtic faithful who expect higher standards from a squad assembled to compete on multiple fronts.
Of course, writing off Celtic is a dangerous game – and Sutton himself would know better than most how quickly fortunes can turn at Parkhead. The Hoops have historically thrived when their backs are against the wall, and the squad will be determined to prove the doubters wrong as the campaign progresses.
Whether Sutton’s stark warning serves as a wake-up call or proves to be premature remains to be seen, but one thing is certain – Celtic supporters will demand a response on the pitch in the matches ahead.
