Celtic on the Brink of Glory as SPFL Season Nears Climactic End
As we enter the final stretch of the SPFL season, all eyes are on Celtic, who are just two wins away from sealing yet another Scottish Premiership title. With Rangers stumbling at home yet again, the path is now clearer than ever for Brendan Rodgers and his side to claim their 13th top-flight crown in the last 14 seasons. It’s a staggering run of dominance, and the Hoops could officially lift the trophy as soon as next weekend.
Here’s how it could all unfold: Celtic travel to face bottom-side St Johnstone this Sunday. A win there would stretch their lead at the top to a commanding 16 points, with only six matches remaining. Then comes the potential title-clincher — a home clash against Kilmarnock next Saturday. If Celtic secure victories in both of those fixtures, they’ll be crowned champions in front of their own fans on April 12. That’s a dream scenario for the Green and White faithful — a title party at home, wrapping up a remarkable season with weeks to spare.
Meanwhile, the rest of the league remains a battleground of uncertainty. Rangers, despite slipping in the title race, are still comfortably in position to clinch the second Champions League spot, needing just four points from their final six games. The race for European football is heating up too — third, fourth, and even fifth place could all end up in European competition, depending on the outcome of the Scottish Cup.

Further down the table, the relegation battle is intense. St Johnstone, currently anchored at the bottom, are eight points adrift of Dundee and nine behind Kilmarnock — and that’s before facing Celtic. Ross County are hovering just above the danger zone, while Motherwell and St Mirren aren’t quite out of trouble yet. With the post-split fixtures looming, and teams set to clash directly once more, anything can still happen.
In the Championship, Falkirk look almost certain to clinch back-to-back titles. They’re eight points clear of Livingston with just 12 left to play for, and even Livingston’s manager has admitted the race is run. The promotion play-off picture is still taking shape though, with Ayr, Livingston, Partick Thistle, and Raith Rovers all in the mix. Down at the bottom, Airdrieonians are mounting a late charge, now just three points behind Dunfermline in ninth.
In League 1, Arbroath are on the verge of promotion — they need just one more result to secure it. Dumbarton, on the other hand, have already been relegated following a crushing 15-point deduction. League 2 sees Peterhead with a narrow lead in the title fight, while Bonnyrigg Rose are clinging to survival after a six-point penalty due to licensing issues.
And let’s not forget the Highland and Lowland Leagues — Brora Rangers and Brechin City are neck and neck heading into the final day, with Brora holding a slight edge on goal difference. The winner will face East Kilbride, who already secured their Lowland crown, in the pyramid play-offs.
So, whether you’re tracking the title race, eyeing a European spot, or nervously watching the drop zone, the SPFL is serving up a thrilling finale. If Celtic get it right over the next two matches, we could be witnessing another memorable chapter in the club’s illustrious history — and it might just come with a home celebration.
