BBC Scotland journalist Tom English believes Celtic will pip Rangers to the title, even if he’s been effusive in his praise of Philippe Clement.
Rangers have cut their Old Firm rival’s lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership to five points, with Clement’s men also boasting a game in hand on their rivals.
This comes after an impressively routine 3-0 win over Hibs at Easter Road with the Rangers squad improving by the game under the Belgian manager.
But according to English, he doesn’t believe it will be enough for Rangers to beat Celtic to the Premiership title when all is said and done in May.
Speaking on BBC Sportsound’s coverage of the match at Easter Road, Tom English praised the early success of Philippe Clement as Rangers manager.
But despite this the outspoken journalist has tipped Celtic to “pull away” in the title race although he isn’t predicting a comfortable Premiership victory.
“I think Celtic will pull away,” said English. “I don’t think they’ll win the league very, very comfortably but I think they’ll win the league but Clement has done an excellent job so far.
“Way better than I thought he would and he hasn’t really put his own imprint on it yet and I’m very interested to see when he does what types of players he goes for.
