Steven Pressley concedes that the advantage in the Premiership title race seems to tilt towards Celtic now, despite his recent backing of Rangers.

The seasoned defender has played for three out of the four clubs involved in this weekend’s Scottish Cup semi-final clashes. His former team Celtic will battle Aberdeen on Saturday, while Hearts, a team he once captained, will take on Rangers, his first professional club, on Sunday. Amidst these pivotal games, a fierce competition between the Old Firm rivalry rages on.

Celtic currently hold a four-point lead over Rangers, who have a game in hand against Dundee following a surprising 3-2 defeat to Ross County. This setback has shifted the momentum in favor of Celtic, with Pressley underlining the urgent need for Rangers to avoid dropping any more points.

Amidst a chuckle, Pressley stated, “I did mention about six weeks ago that Rangers were likely to claim the title, but clearly, my predictions have been off! It goes to show that there’s always a twist in the tale, as we saw last weekend.”

The upcoming weeks promise to be incredibly captivating, with Pressley highlighting the critical nature of the Old Firm clash for Rangers. While the title race remains in Rangers’ control if they triumph in the derby, they can ill afford any more slip-ups. On the other hand, Celtic may have a bit more leeway with their margin for error, provided they excel in the Old Firm showdown. The current momentum, Pressley notes, seems to favor Celtic, setting the stage for a thrilling conclusion to the season.
