Celtic fans are on cloud nine this week, and it’s no surprise why.

Although no silverware has been lifted just yet, the remarkable turnaround in fortunes during the current title race has put the Bhoys in prime position to clinch another Scottish Premiership trophy.

Under Brendan Rodgers’ guidance, Celtic now find themselves three points ahead at the summit of the table, following Rangers’ misstep with defeats at Ross County and a draw against Dundee.

On the other hand, Philippe Clement and his squad have endured a nightmare week, prompting their fans to question what went awry and causing prominent pundits to retract their bold predictions made prior to the recent 3-3 derby at Ibrox.

One of these pundits, Barry Ferguson, notably conceded his mistake. His earlier claim that Celtic would trail his former club by five points at this juncture now appears far-fetched, with an eight-point swing in the opposite direction. While Ferguson is crestfallen, he candidly acknowledged his misjudgment.

Reflecting on the recent turn of events, Ferguson expressed in The Daily Record, “Admitting you’re wrong isn’t easy. A few weeks back, I erred in this column by recklessly forecasting Rangers would lead by five points now, en route to the title. It’s difficult to defend the indefensible in light of my club’s recent showings. Witnessing them drop more crucial points in Dundee left me disheartened, affecting my sleep.”

As the title race intensifies, it’s essential for Celtic to remain focused on the ultimate goal. While Rangers’ confidence has taken a hit, Celtic cannot afford to relax or underestimate their rivals.

Rodgers has emphasized the importance of maintaining the team’s composure and commitment, reaffirming that external distractions will not hinder their pursuit of victory. With five matches left, Celtic must stay unwavering in their quest for dominance.
