Celtic are one loss from worst winning SPL tally

[ian1964 10,761]

CELTIC are just one defeat away from posting the lowest ever winning tally in the history of the SPL championship.

 

That's a record manager Neil Lennon is not prepared to accept â?? and that's a message he has delivered loud and clear to his players.

 

The last-minute defeat to Ross County at the weekend means the reigning champions have already shipped 28 points in the defence of their title, and the most they can now achieve is 86. The current lowest title-winning total is 84 points, set by the Parkhead club in 2006-07 when, like this season, they qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League.

 

If Lennon's side lose one more game, or draw two of the remaining eight, they will not be able to match even that number.

 

Paradoxically, even having failed to win two thirds of their fixtures this term, the Hoops could still clinch the title before the split if nearest challengers Motherwell, Ross County, Inverness and St Johnstone continue to drop points.
