SPL: Is the Title Race Turning in Favour of Neil Lennon's Celtic?

It was another intriguing weekend in the SPL.

Celtic ground out a 1-0 victory over Dundee United whilst Rangers laboured to a 2-1 win over Dunfermline, thanks only to a Jelavic penalty which new signing Sone Aluko had dived to win.

Celtic have now won five games on the bounce and have shortened Rangers' lead at the top from 12 points to just four.

But the question is, can Lennon's men overhaul their biggest rivals?

The Bhoys' revitalisation began after they clawed back from a 3-0 halftime deficit versus Kilmarnock to draw 3-3.

A victory in the Europa League also boosted morale at Parkhead, and the East End side are still in with a chance of making it to the knockout stages of the competition.

Unbelievably, Georgios Samaras has also found some form and has helped Celtic to their last two league victories. It seems that Lennon's strong words from a few weeks' ago have spurred his side on.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Glasgow, Rangers have been on a seemingly downward spiral.

After grinding out some unconvincing wins in recent weeks, the men from Govan lost their first game of the season last Sunday against Kilmarnock and seemed short of ideas against strugglers Dunfermline at the weekend.

Rangers are currently embroiled in the middle of a £50 million tax case with HMRC which could see the club go into administration, and it looks like this is playing on the minds of some of the players.

The likes of Steven Whittaker, Maurice Edu and Gregg Wylde have struggled in the past few games.

So, if things continue the way they're currently going, then Celtic can definitely catch up then overtake Rangers in the race for the SPL title.

But as we've seen time and time again this season, absolutely nothing is certain.
