Former Scotland goalkeeper Alan Rough has warned that Celtic’s fate may hinge on the missteps of their rivals, acknowledging that the race for the title is no longer firmly under the Bhoys’ control.

The gap to the summit stretched to five points after Celtic failed to take anything from Dundee United, falling to a 2-0 defeat at Tannadice, their first loss following a five-game unbeaten run across all competitions, leaving them on 61 points despite the manager’s warning against dropping points.
