The major difference after today is we now need to beat Sevco at Celtic Park which I believe we will.
Before today we had to Hearts at Celtic Park after the split and we could probably afford to draw with Sevco and still had a very good chance of winning the league.
Now I feel Celtic need to win both games and then see where it takes us.
Remember 2008,
Celtic had to beat Rangers twice to give us any chance of winning the title.
We managed both victories at Celtic Park and now this situation is similar.
Both games will be at Celtic Park and that will be a big advantage and then hopefully we will see a 1986 or 2008 scenario.

Buzzbomb,
whilst it's possible, the odds of us doing that and going onto retain the title are as slim as it gets.
The single biggest factor that goes against us is that we are witnessing the poorest Celtic team in 30 years.
The hoops teams of 1986 and 2008 would have battered this current side without breaking sweat.
Time will tell but I think karma is coming back to bite that shower of sh. oite of a board in the arse.
World Farce at everything they do.
22 Mar 2026 19:50:35
I wish I had your confidence. What our best XI? Who will play up front? Can these guys be trusted?
I have massive doubts.
22 Mar 2026 20:19:39
Celtic are currently 5/ 2 which isn’t massive Odds so we still have a chance.
I mentioned earlier Henrik we need to change formation after the break when Johnston is back.
3-4-2-1
Sinisalo
Johnston, Trusty, Scales
Araujo, Engels, Calmac, KT
Nygren, Ox
Any striker.
{Ed007's Note - I'm still 100% confident that we'll win the league, Buzz.}
22 Mar 2026 20:35:08
The difference from then buzz is that the 2008 side made changes and scored goals and had a formation of play that aloud them to do so.
This current side must have one of lowest chance creation status in many a year.
We can go on about the board and injuries and if that's why we are so bad then fair enough. But this team are never winning this league.
The question we should all be asking is, are the club currently in discussions with a new manager and in discussions with new players.
But we all know that they aren't.
There lies the real issue.
I can except losing a title or a cup but can't except us sleeping walking into next seasons disaster.

Ed.
I still don’t think Hearts are a threat.
Their 20 set piece goals which is nearly 40% have kept them top.
We need to beat Dundee definitely and then Celtic have 4 homes in our last 6 matches.
If Celtic don’t manage to win the league then I believe Sevco will win their 1st major title in front of spectators.
{Ed007's Note - No team has put together any real run of form, us and Hearts have lost 2 out their last 5 games, I'm still confident that MON will get us over the line.
What's the score, Buzz, we in all our games and we want Them' Un's to beat Hearts? I got a text saying that...
22 Mar 2026 20:42:07
Haha brilliant ed. when your next gig at the comedy club. Haha 100%.
{Ed007's Note - You can listen to me talking pish on YT. Send me £1, €1 or $1 and I'll do it more often ☺?
22 Mar 2026 21:03:42
Buzz is that not Nancy's formation. ?.
22 Mar 2026 21:04:45
Edd, if you are right and we win the league I will start your Christmas appeal when it comes with 100 quid.
But for now I will revert to your calling card.
Birthday Card Pish. ?.
{Ed007's Note - I'll take that ??
22 Mar 2026 21:08:08
I am too Ed, if we get to the split in the same position or better than we are now i'll be pretty confident. We must win our 2 games before the split, if we can do that then I'd be confident of beating both Hertz and them at home.
{Ed007's Note - Folk are writing off the league - there's 21 points to play for - again and we've been hearing the same Tena patter every time we've dropped points since August.
Every single time for months we've dropped points it's been the "that's it the league is over", absolute panic because there is a fight for the title on from people that should know better.}
22 Mar 2026 21:32:14
A fight that we ain't tooled up to win ed.
{Ed007's Note - We haven't gone away you know...
22 Mar 2026 21:50:44
Yes but our title looks like it will leaving sooner rather than later.
Hope you're right mate. but you're don't lie. we are piss poor. We need to win 7 out of 7 and we still need a snooker.
{Ed007's Note - 5 points behind with 21 to play for....
22 Mar 2026 21:52:04
Joe,
Nancy had a mid CB Trusty playing on the right of a back 3 and it was a disaster.
I previously mentioned I wanted that formation several weeks ago but we didn’t have Johnston to play it.
Massive mistake was allowing Welsh to leave because he could have played on the right of a back 3.
Many might not like that idea but it’s better than playing all those wingers during that period.
Jungle,
2008 is a 100% similar to what were are currently facing.
Scott Brown got suspended and he also had family issues.
Gordon started playing Paul Hartley and Barry Robson in midfield and we Won our last 7 league games to again win the league.
Keep The Faith ?.
23 Mar 2026 12:20:44
Where is the confidence coming from that we will beat Sevco and Hearts at Celtic Park?
Both of them have already beaten us there this season.
We can’t beat SPFL dross just now, but of course it was down to the pitch/ Ref ?.
23 Mar 2026 14:40:20
Stop it North ???.
You forgot the supercomputer as well as the weather.
23 Mar 2026 15:50:11
It’s true though mate.
We have an awful lot of fans displaying the Tim version of staunch points by refusing to believe what their own eyes have been telling them all season.
This is the worst Celtic squad in 35 years.
23 Mar 2026 17:12:19
I agree North 100%
Each to their own though, we all have our own views and I’d happily take a “ I told you so “ if this mob of misfits somehow win this league.
