Celtic's Title Hopes Fading: Sutton Slams Creativity
24 Mar
Summary
- Celtic trail league leaders by five points with seven games remaining.
- The team has scored 60 goals fewer than last season.
- Sutton criticizes a lack of creativity and inconsistent loan signings.
Chris Sutton has stated that Celtic requires perfection in their upcoming league matches to secure the Premiership title. However, the former striker expressed skepticism about his old team's capability to achieve this.
Sunday's defeat to Dundee United marked Celtic's eighth league loss this season, placing them five points behind leaders Hearts with only seven rounds of fixtures left. Sutton believes Martin O'Neill's squad cannot afford further dropped points.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club, Sutton lamented the team's lack of creativity, noting a stark difference of 60 goals compared to the previous season. He questioned the team's ability to score, pointing to fitness issues with Kelechi Iheanacho and inconsistent availability of January signing Tomas Cvancara.
Sutton also mentioned Junior Adamu as a low-priority loan signing, describing the attacking options as unpredictable. He concluded that Celtic is underperforming in all areas and that their current league position is unsurprising, consistent with his long-held belief that they would not win the league.
