Chris Sutton believes it will be too big an ask for his former team to clinch their 14th league title since 2011.

It has been a Scottish Premiership title race like no other and there is no margin for error with just five games left in the most dramatic of seasons.

All three won on the same weekend for the first time since January, meaning Hearts remain top of the table, one point ahead of Rangers with Celtic a further two behind.

Celtic were far from their best in a 1-0 win at home to St Mirren, Hearts came from behind to beat Motherwell 3-1 and Rangers provided the drama with an incredible comeback to win 6-3 at Falkirk.

All three will play each other again but Sutton doubts whether Celtic can retain their crown.

"The next game is always the most important but of course Rangers look at where they think they can win and have belief at where they can win," he said on Sky Sports.

"When you get to this stage, you need to find a way. Hearts will feel the same, Celtic will feel the exact same, there's no room for error. Absolutely zero room for error.

"Rangers had to win today, they had to find a way. And like Hearts and Celtic did over the weekend, they have found a way and this title race is going to go right down to the wire."
