Former Rangers striker Kris Boyd has publicly conceded the title to Celtic following Rangers’ 0-0 draw with Dundee.

This result has positioned Celtic three points clear at the top of the table as the league heads into the split, with a crucial Glasgow Derby at Celtic Park yet to come.

Rangers’ recent form has been a concern for them, securing just one win in their last eight league matches. With upcoming fixtures against St Mirren and Kilmarnock, as well as a Scottish Cup semi-final against Hearts this weekend, the pressure is mounting.

The sentiment of Rangers’ dwindling title hopes was echoed on Sky Sports by pundits Chris Sutton and James McFadden, both of whom expressed belief that the league title is destined for Celtic Park this season. Boyd, faced with the current standings and the challenging path ahead for Rangers, admitted the difficulty of the situation.

“After the Rangers-Celtic game at Ibrox, it was going to be a tough ask, but it’s tougher now. Rangers can go to Celtic Park and win and there are still five goals in it, I can’t see a way back for Rangers now.”
