Brilliant piece by Chris Sutton today on the 'doom and gloom' merchants among the Celtic support. Well worth a read.

Haven't read it but it's true a lot of us are failing to appreciate the most successful period of a Celtic team for many years and letting negativity cloud the true picture of success.
The team have had to put overcome a long string of problems, hurdles, injuries, controversy and change since day one of the season including a horror transfer window and exit from the CL.
However, here we are on the verge of a magnificent achievement and are still the dominant force in this country by far.
The high profile desertion of a selfish manager in February would have crushed many other teams moral, confidence and momentum and -although it's clear we have not been at our best - it's enormous credit to the players that they carried on regardless, showing remarkable strength of character to win the league at Pittodrie.
The media have predictably played their part in filling our minds with doubt and criticism deflecting away from their own teams barren season - and don't get me started on referee controversies.
OK Sevco have moved up a place, but where's the trophies and medals for that? You'd think we had lost the league last week .
All of us hate to lose as we are so used to winning and maybe we should take a wee breath, realize under the circumstances and events stated, it wasn't possible to win every game 4 or 5 zip and although losing at Ibrox again hurt us all, it changes NOTHING.

This is our dominant period I can remember when the old club were barely winning leagues against Aberdeen even when they out spent them 5-1 using all Murray’s financial wizardry. The press would never print a negative about oldco it was all positive spin. But we get negative after negative but they get pleasure from our reaction. The best way to deal with the haters is to not react and do what Broonie and Lustig do. laugh in their faces?

OMC commented in another post how the Scottish media must love us because so many of us just accept the pish that’s written without questioning it. They then give it credence by commenting further on it. On a daily basis, James Traynor lobs a hand grenade in here and sits back to view the ensuing carnage.
