SPL title race heats up as title contenders play each other
February 24th, 2010 by Peter Bevan
Rangers play Celtic this weekend in a game that could go some way to deciding the destination of the winner’s trophy in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League. The Glasgow rivals face off at Ibrox, where Celtic have not won in the league since December 2008. Should Celtic manage to claim victory the title race would again be thrown wide open, and given that Celtic’s remaining fixtures are on paper less taxing than Rangers’, it really could go either way. Rangers have tough games to come against Aberdeen, Dundee Utd and Hearts, while Celtic’s remaining fixtures are predominantly against teams fighting relegation and would be expected to win. With the inspired loan signing of Robbie Keane, a good run against St. Johnstone, Kilmarnock and Motherwell could do wonders for their challenge and by April, we may finally know which side of Glasgow the SPL crown will rest.
