More... It's not an advantage in the sense that we play the same number of games. However in 3 of the next 4 fixtures we play first and can keep putting pressure on them to win that wasn't there when we trailed by 7 points. We've never really found out how Strachan's Celtic cope with pressure at the business end of the season. Hopefully that will change this year. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite my dislike for all things Celtic I have never really understood this particular argument. Celtic were miles behind last season and, whether we like it or not, they actually proved their credentials to handle the pressure at the business end of the season, regardless of bad officiating and assistance from the SPL. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you are right, but it will be interesting to see how they cope on a level playing field in terms of fixture congestion, if not officiating. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
