John Hartson declares Celtic will win 56 BEFORE Rangers as he gets bullish over 'really huge' gap

Confident John Hartson has insisted Celtic are on course to lift 56 league titles before Rangers because of a "really huge" gap between the sides.

Ange Postecoglou will keep the Scottish Premiership title in the Celtic Park trophy cabinet if he can secure one more win before the end of the campaign – with the Hoops holding a 13-point lead over Rangers going into the post-split fixtures. A win on Sunday over Hearts would secure a 53rd league championship for Celtic – but the Ibrox side would remain two ahead in the overall tally having claimed title number 55 under Steven Gerrard back in 2021.

With Postecoglou on the brink of a Treble this term Hartson reckons the gap is so big between the two sides that he can see no reason that Celtic won't keep lifting league titles until the 2025-2026 - which would see Rangers record total surpassed. The Welshman said: “I believe the gap between Celtic and Rangers right now is huge, really huge. For me, Rangers are a long, long way behind.
