Chris Sutton expects Hearts or Rangers to win the title over Celtic
Sutton, despite his Celtic partisanship, does not see his former club winning the title.
He has slammed them for being unable to put passes together and has described the squad as a “mess”.
In his view, it is going to be either Hearts or Rangers who end up winning the Scottish Premiership.
He also heard Andrew Cavenagh’s £16m share issue at Ibrox, and believes that is what puts them ahead of their Old Firm rivals in terms of squad planning.
Sutton told the Daily Record: “It’s hard enough to imagine Celtic putting seven passes together on the evidence of last Sunday at Tannadice never mind seven wins.
“The squad’s a mess. Players don’t look as though as they are connected as one unit and the overall standard is pretty miserable.
“That loss to Dundee United was the final nail in the Celtic title coffin for me as I now see Hearts and Rangers having a better chance of lifting the trophy.
“Hearts are organised, Rangers have a jump on them as well if you listen to what Andrew Cavenagh said earlier in the week about more investment for the squad.”

What will Danny Rohl be doing behind the scenes at Rangers?
Danny Rohl knows that Rangers have a better side on paper than Hearts, so in terms of quality, they deserve to win it.
However, this will be a psychological battle and it will be won by the side that can hold their nerve when the chips are down.
The Gers in recent weeks have failed to win games which they should be winning easily, and Rohl needs to work on how he can best help them get over the line in such situations.
This could mean coaching different systems in order to make the team more unpredictable and also to switch things up mid-game to catch the opponents off guard.
