Robbie Savage provides brutal Rangers title verdict but Chris Sutton issues Celtic warning

Robbie Savage has declared Celtic as the champions in waiting for this year's Premiership - but Chris Sutton isn't writing Rangers off yet.

The former Blackburn player and Hoops hero Chris Sutton have been debating the state of play in Scotland after a dramatic day of action. St Mirren holding the Light Blues to a 1-1 draw and the Hoops beating Ross County 2-1 allows Celtic to hold a nine point advantage heading into World Cup break territory.

Answering calls on BBC 606's Football Phone-In, Savage claimed 'It's over, it's all over' when it comes to the title race, but Sutton wasn't so sure. He offered a rebuttal: "It's not over yet. You can't think like that. If you are Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou you can't think like that." He then posed a question to a hotline caller, querying: "You're saying the league is over, that's still a big call with three more games to go against Rangers isn't it?"

But Savage was again definitive in his title race verdict, saying 'It's over.' Whether Van Bronckhorst goes or not is less clear.

Wen asked by Sutton what should happen to van Bronckhorst, he replied 'No idea,' amid growing calls for the Dutchman to go.

Rangers have drawn with Livingston and St Mirren recently, with a loss to St Johnstone last weekend all adding to the pressure the Light Blues boss is under.
