The Scottish Premiership title race has become highly competitive with Rangers leading for the first time this season after Celtic drew against Kilmarnock. Rangers under manager Philippe Clement have staged a remarkable comeback closing the gap to just two points with 12 games remaining. The race has been unpredictable with Celtic initially holding a 10 points lead before Rangers’ resurgence.

Both teams have seven games before the league splits including a crucial Old Firm clash on April 7. The title race not only involves pride but also Champions League qualification as the league winner secures a group-stage spot. The battle for a top 10 UEFA coefficient ranking adds further significance potentially impacting automatic qualification in future seasons.

The outcome remains uncertain, with Rangers’ form challenging Celtic’s experience under manager Brendan Rodgers. The race for the title is too close to call.
