Celtic could move three points clear of Rangers in the Scottish Premiership standings this afternoon.
Ange Postecoglou’s outfit are gearing up for a visit of Dundee at Parkhead.
Their opponents’ rivals, Dundee United, held Rangers to a 1-1 draw at Tannadice earlier on Sunday.
And here’s how Celtic legend John Hartson reacted to that slip-up on Twitter:
Massive opportunity
League titles are won from capitalising on your rivals’ missed opportunities and the Bhoys must make certain that they take full advantage.
Fresh from Europa Conference League disappointment in midweek, Postecoglou’s outfit could resemble a wounded animal against the Dee this afternoon.
Rangers dropping points was a major shock.
After all, they have just beaten Borussia Dortmund 4-2 in Germany on Europa League duty, so to struggle against the Scottish outfit three days later is, as mentioned, an enormous surprise.
Before a ball was kicked this season, the Ibrox outfit were favourites to successfully defend their title.
Having not lost a Premiership encounter under Steven Gerrard last season, and with Celtic hiring a new manager in the form of Postecoglou, Rangers were justifiably favourites.
And although they still could win it under Giovanni van Bronckhorst, it’s very much in Celtic’s hands – and definitely if they win today.
