Chris Sutton expressed his newfound excitement following Rangers’ surprising 3-2 loss to Ross County on April 14, believing that the defeat has dealt a significant blow to the Ibrox club. The former footballer turned BBC pundit highlighted the impact of the result on the upcoming Old Firm derby, emphasizing that Celtic now hold a vital advantage in the title race.

Sutton underlined the importance of Rangers’ upcoming game against Dundee as a crucial opportunity to narrow the gap to just one point. Despite acknowledging that the title is still within Philippe Clement’s grasp, he emphasized the pivotal nature of the midweek clash for Rangers.

During his appearance on the BBC Sport Monday Night Club, Sutton remarked: “The unexpected 3-1 lead by Ross County has sparked my excitement. This setback has put pressure on Rangers, especially ahead of their match against Celtic at Parkhead without fans. While the situation looks unfavorable for Rangers, the title race is far from over, creating a real shockwave in the competition.”

The landscape of the title race has shifted dramatically, as a potential win for Rangers in their rescheduled game against Dundee becomes crucial for their championship hopes. Should they falter, Celtic would be poised to extend their lead, leaving Rangers with a daunting task to reclaim their position at the top.

With the upcoming Old Firm clash looming large, both teams face a defining moment in their quest for the title. Sutton’s observations and the recent turn of events have intensified the anticipation and uncertainty surrounding the race for the championship.
