Are reigning champions Celtic out of SWPL title race?

Advertisements

With Celtic losing to Glasgow City on Friday, the SWPL title charge is starting to look like a three-horse race – with the reigning champions falling behind.

That defeat left Elena Sadiku’s side fourth, nine points off leaders Hibernian and also trailing Rangers by seven and City by six.

So, are Celtic out of the reckoning with eight rounds of fixtures still to play?

The tightness of the top three means the league leaders could change within one match day, but Celtic need at least a couple of weeks of teams dropping points to get back into the mix.

Given Hibs, Rangers and City have lost just seven times between them all season, that is a tall order.

With no fixtures this coming weekend because of the international break, it will be mid-April before reigning champions Celtic can resume the chase.

That round of games on 13 April could be pivotal but, in truth, all games in the post-split period have that potential.

Celtic travel to face Rangers, by which time Hibs will have hosted Hearts and Motherwell will have visited Glasgow City – all three live on the BBC.
