Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic are going strong in the Scottish Premiership at the moment.
John Hartson has suggested in The Scottish Sun that Celtic could win the Scottish Premiership title this season by as many as 25 points.
Celtic are going strong in the league at the moment and are the firm favourites to win the title.
The Bhoys are currently at the top of the table with 28 points from 10 matches, seven points clear of second-placed Aberdeen, who have played 12 games.
Former Celtic striker Hartson believes that the Hoops are capable of clinching the Scottish Premiership title by 25 points.
The former Arsenal and West Ham United man, though, does not expect Brendan Rodgers’s side to remain unbeaten this season.
“Last season Celtic won the league by 15 points,” Hartson wrote in The Scottish Sun. “The season before the margin was 17. Is that not massive already?
“The way Brendan Rodgers has the Hoops playing they could be 25 points clear at the end of the season.
“If they keep going the way they are — with the likes of Scott Sinclair and Moussa Dembele terrorising defences every week — it could be a massive margin.
“Celtic need to keep the foot on the pedal to do that, but even if they don’t they could still finish 17 or 18 points clear.”
“Can they go unbeaten over the season?” added Hartson. “I don’t think so. There always tends to be one game where a team slips up. A lot might depend on whether they get knocked out of Europe altogether.
“Then you haven’t got those Thursday night Europa League games, with little time to recover before a Sunday game.”
Celtic have yet to lose in the Scottish Premiership this season, and it is hard to see any other team win the title.
The Bhoys have the best squad in the division and some of the best players in the league.
Winning the league by a margin of 25 points may not be possible, but the Glasgow giants should clinch the title comfortably enough.
Celtic will take on Inverness Caledonian Thistle at Celtic Park in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday afternoon.
