Chris Sutton has warned Celtic they can't think the league is done and dusted as they extended the gap over Rangers to nine points before the winter shutdown.
Ange Postecoglou's side have been on relentless form domestically winning 14 of their 15 league outings to date. The only defeat came at the hands of St Mirren in Paisley, but on the whole they've looked comfortable at the top while Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side find themselves under increased fan pressure due to repeatedly dropping points. The Dutchman is feeling the heat with his Ibrox job on the line after a run that's included a home draw with Livingston, defeat at St Johnstone and a share of the spoils at the Buddies.
The league title chase this season is being viewed by many as Celtic's to lose after creating such a big gap after just 15 matches. However, former hitman Sutton insists the players and staff can't think that way with plenty of football to be played including three derby clashes with Rangers this season.

His warning came as fellow pundit Robbie Savage suggested on the 606 Football Phone In that the title race is over and it was once again Celtic's.
Savage said: “Celtic. Title’s over, Chris. Nine points, done."
Sutton replied: “If you’re a Celtic player and Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou, [you] cannot think like that.”
After a caller sided with Savage, the Hoops hero warned: “You’re saying the league’s over right now? That’s still a big call.”
