Former Celtic striker and current pundit Chris Sutton has taken to Twitter to suggest that Celtic will win the Scottish Premiership title by 15 points this season.

The Bhoys coasted to a 4-0 win over Ross County on Wednesday evening, with Patrick Roberts, Stuart Armstrong, Scott Sinclair and Moussa Dembele all getting on the scoresheet.

Brendan Rodgers’ side now sit seven points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership, with a game in hand on second placed Aberdeen after a superb start to the season.

With eight wins and one draw from their first nine games, Rodgers remains unbeaten in the Scottish Premiership, meaning the Bhoys are already edging towards a sixth league title in a row.

A win over Aberdeen this weekend would strengthen Celtic’s stranglehold at the top of the table, whilst Old Firm rivals Rangers already sit nine points adrift of Rodgers’ men after a up-and-down start to the season.

Ahead of this weekend’s game against Aberdeen, former Celtic striker and current pundit Chris Sutton has taken to Twitter to respond to questions about Celtic’s title challenge.

One fan asked Sutton how many points he thinks Celtic will win the league by this season, and he made a confident prediction by suggesting the margin will be 15 points come the end of the campaign.

15 points is the exact same margin Celtic won the league by last season, whilst it was 17 points the year before that, and a staggering 29 points in 2014, meaning such a margin would continue Celtic’s overwhelming dominance of Scottish football.
