Philippe Clement, the manager of Rangers, saw Sunday’s 3-3 draw with Celtic as a significant achievement for his team. Despite this, Chris Sutton cautioned the Belgian coach that there is no such thing as a moral victory in this scenario, especially with Celtic still being a strong contender in the Premiership title race.

Sutton humorously ridiculed Clement’s perspective in his recent Daily Record column, suggesting that while Rangers may have won the “Moral Victory Trophy” in the eyes of some, the actual battle for the Premiership title remains wide open. Both Clement and Celtic’s Brendan Rodgers have expressed confidence in their teams, indicating that the ultimate outcome is far from certain.

While acknowledging the resilience displayed by Rangers in coming back from a 2-0 deficit against Celtic, Sutton emphasized the competitive nature of the title race and the uncertainty surrounding its conclusion. With several crucial matches still to be played, both Rangers and Celtic face challenging fixtures that could ultimately determine the championship’s destiny.

Despite Celtic’s missed opportunities to secure a commanding lead in the match, Clement’s tactical adjustments and his team’s fighting spirit were commendable. Sutton praised Rangers for their determination and ability to push Celtic to the limit, highlighting the significance of key moments like Jack Butland’s crucial save from Matt O’Riley’s header.

Looking ahead to the remainder of the season, Sutton suggested that the race for the Premiership title is far from over, with both Rangers and Celtic having significant challenges ahead. While Clement and Rodgers may have found reasons for optimism in their teams’ performances, Sutton emphasized the unpredictability of the competition and the potential for dramatic twists in the closing stages of the campaign.
