John Higgins believes Celtic can still win the league. There are five games remaining in the title race.
Higgins, a lifelong supporter of Celtic, stated, “If we win the five games, there’s every chance we’re going to be champions and I’m rooting for them.” This statement comes as Celtic trails in the race against rivals Rangers.
Celtic has dominated Scottish football since the Covid year when Rangers won the title. Since then, they have secured every league title under manager Ange Postecoglou.
In addition to his support for Celtic, Higgins commented on Zhao Xintong’s rise in snooker. He noted that Zhao won his first world title just a year ago and has played against Higgins five times this season.
Higgins expressed confidence in Zhao’s talent, saying, “I think he is one special player that would have more of a chance than most to dominate this game.” This highlights Higgins’ recognition of emerging talent in snooker.
Meanwhile, Neil Robertson offered a contrasting view about Zhao’s future dominance, stating simply, “I don’t see that happening.” This disagreement adds tension to discussions about Zhao’s potential.
Higgins has not lost a first-round match at the Crucible since 2014. His consistent performance there solidifies his reputation as a formidable player in snooker.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any specific outcomes from upcoming matches. Observers are keenly watching both Celtic’s league campaign and Zhao Xintong’s progress in snooker.
