John Hartson thinks Rangers would receive “an awful lot of credit” were they to concede the title to Celtic amid the ongoing coronavirus crisis.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The health pandemic has put a stop to football in most European countries, including Scotland \u2013 where Rangers currently trail Celtic by 13 points at the top of the SPL table.<\/p>\n

Can Rangers still catch Celtic in the SPL title race? Five things to know…<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • After 29 games Rangers sit second, 13 points behind Celtic \u2013 who have played one more game.<\/li>\n
  • If Rangers were to win their game in hand, they would reduce the gap to 10 points.<\/li>\n
  • And in that scenario, Celtic would need five wins from their final eight matches to win the title.<\/li>\n
  • That’s providing Rangers win all of their games \u2013 Celtic could lift the trophy earlier if Rangers drop points.<\/li>\n
  • Celtic have dropped just 10 points all season, winning 26 of their 30 league fixtures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
