Celtic’s captain, Callum McGregor, insists the Glasgow club still holds the title edge in the Scottish Premiership, despite trailing Hearts by three points. McGregor’s confidence comes after a turbulent season that saw two managerial changes and a shaky start. He stresses the need for calm, process, and disciplined performance to close the gap today.

At present, Hearts sit three points clear of Celtic, having led the table since late October. The gap shrinks with each round, and Celtic’s recent form—four wins, one draw, one loss in the last six fixtures—shows a resurgence that could overturn the deficit. The pressure mounts for the season end.

McGregor praised interim manager Martin O'Neill for turning a fractured squad into a cohesive unit. O'Neill’s tenure has delivered a run of strong results, restoring confidence among players and fans alike. He plans to stay beyond summer, and McGregor believes that continuity will be key to securing the championship and a potential Scottish Cup double.

With the title race still open, Celtic’s belief in their edge reflects a broader confidence that their recent turnaround can carry them to the top. The club’s focus on disciplined play and managerial stability positions them to challenge Hearts again as the season nears its climax, reinforcing their championship aspirations for the season end soon.
