This could actually work in Celtic’s favour Everyone thinks the title is heading to Ibrox, even some of our supporters think the same. That could work in Celtic’s favour... Kelechi Iheanacho of Celtic celebrates victory during the Scottish Premiership between Celtic and St.

It’s still anyone’s title heading into the last run of games as the top best six sides in the country clash with each other, but in the minds of most, including some of our own supporters, the title has Govan firmly stamped as its destination.

According to the Scottish mainstream media and the Ibrox supporters, Danny Rohl’s all conquering Bears will canter to the league title, despite currently occupying second place, with two tough away fixtures to negotiate against Celtic and Hearts in the upcoming run of fixtures. The same Ibrox club who failed to beat Celtic over two games of football at home, one of them being against a much depleted Celtic side. Is that a side we should be concerned about?
