The Hoops moved four points clear of Rangers after a weekend in the top flight.

Celtic beat Hearts 7-1, while Rangers dropped points in a 2-2 draw away to Dundee. The results followed victories after the international break.

Before the break, Rangers had looked like the team with momentum, having defeated Celtic twice in as many weeks.

Martin O'Neill had questioned his future as Celtic manager after three losses. The figures from Opta Analyst may support his decision to remain manager.

Celtic have a 74.88 per cent chance of lifting the Premiership trophy, according to Opta Analyst.

Rangers, managed by Derek McInnes, are forecast to finish second and have a 22.92 per cent chance of winning the title.

Hearts, who missed out last season, have a 2.14 per cent chance of claiming the championship.

Kilmarnock are forecast to finish bottom, while Hibs, at the foot of the table, are expected to end the campaign in ninth place.

The predictions follow a shift in the title race after Celtic’s win and Rangers’ draw. Celtic’s four-point advantage now gives them the strongest position in the forecast, while Hearts remain outside the leading pair.
