There's no extra prizes for winning the league by 27 points or 9 points. If we add a second treble in a row, and progress further in Europe that we have done in years, while not being miles out of sight in the league, it's not the worst compromise in football. |

Absolutely agree. But I'd rather win the league through our own ability other than the Huns being a shambles/ Aberdeen being shampooebags. |

Everyone should cut the manager some slack, ffsaxes. Nobody is beyond criticism, but some earn the right to some breathing space! Edited by georgiesleftpeg, 19 Feb 2018, 12:43 PM.

Panic merchants everywhere. League will be won well into double figure. Possible chance at last 16 of EL. A great win at CP in Europe over a strong team. Our priority, until the league is in trouble, is Europe. |

Very few people are moaning about the points gap. Plenty are moaning about the fact our performances, for several months now, have been disjointed on the whole and, in many instances, downright dull. |

Can I ask why? For me, I'd far rather the extra excitement, cash and co-efficient of the EL - there's no real difference between 9 points and 27 points in terms of benefit to Celtic. It could even be argued that a smaller points gap points to a more competitive and exciting league... |

We were tough to watch yesterday. We were even tougher to watch two weeks earlier at Kilmarnock. We toiled in the first half against Partick Thistle (away) and much of the 1-0 home win against Hibs. We never turned up against Sevco just before the winter break and almost blew a two goal lead at home in the cup last weekend. Excellent performances against Zenit and Hearts have shown this team is still capable of brilliance but those type of performances have started to become the minority.

Second this. I just expected a bit more from the teams fringe players when they're called upon after these European ties. |

The smaller points gap is down to us playing pish football....too often. The team put out on the park should have had enough to score against St Johnstone, every other effer can, and the team put out the other week shouldn't be getting beat by Kilmarnock to nil either. |

One has a definite league win and a possible treble. The other has a less secure title ( jeopardising the main aim ) and a chance to get into the last round of a competition we won't win and will continue to harm our long term prospects in the League. I don't care about cash. We've literally got millions of it sitting about doing eff all. It's not a more exciting league because we're playing shampooe though. Just a different mindset I suppose, Edited by Flawless, 19 Feb 2018, 01:03 PM.

You'd expect the fringe players to take their chance at every opening. I also feel that Masonda may be an impact player for us, rather than a 90 min man. The lack of chances we create is a major issue in SPL games, as other teams seem to set up in the correct manner against us. We need to mix it up a little. The 10IAR talk is boring and acts as a motivation to other teams. I prefer the low key, going about our business approach. |

Indeed. You get the old "you can't win every game 4/5-0" comments. We don't many games by these scores. Lucky to create 4 decent chances sometimes. |

9 points would be acceptable if the huns and Aberdeen were unusually consistent. They have been there usual selves, but we have dropped down several levels to close the gap. |

Aye. The money coming in would great if we actually spent most of it on the team. |
