Scottish Premier Celtic

Rangers fan in peace,

Just wanted to come on and say well, good luck! Being a Rangers fan I obviously hope you dont get any but what the hell!

Anyway I just wanted to what a year it has been for Scottish Football!

Fantastic league race, swinging one way then the other, capitulating in a final day decider!

Great race for 3rd place in the league!

All the drama in the cups with a penalty shoot-out in one, and a fairytale 1st division story in the other.

The national team doing better than expected, although as usual just falling short, which was no disgrace under the circumstances.

Rangers and Celtic both exceded expectations in the Champions League, Rangers were hardly fancied to get a point and Celtic had a very hard task getting through to the 2nd round.

Then Rangers got all the way through to the Uefa Cup Final which was a fantastic achievment.

Even last night, Alex Ferguson probably cemented his place as the best manager of all time.

Lets hope for as good a season next year!

I said to my Dad last week that whoever wins the league this year deserves it.

Obviously, I want Celtic to win and if we do - we'll deserve it considering how we've battled back and won the last two Old Firm games in style.

If Rangers nick the league tonight - then it'll only be Celtics own fault. They'll have done well to push through their schedule etc and get a result. Hopefully, it won't come to that.

May the best team win.

Celtic it is then goodluckoklaugh

If Celtic do win the league, it has to be one of the BIGGEST comebacks ever. From getting beat from Rangers 1 - nil and losing to motherwell. Celtic had to win every game until now, and they did it.

yo, can someone explain how the Scottish league has only 38 games when there are 12 teams...

i thought they all played each other 4 times? 2 home, 2 away? and 4 times eleven isnt 38.

plus wouldnt the league be unfair because you wouldnt get an equal symmetry etc.

ive never really followed the league so my knowledge on it is very low.

also i think celtic will win as there goal difference is better and i dnt c them losing.

kevd,

Each team plays every other team 3 times. Then the league splits in half and the top six all play each other and the bottom six play each other. So it's
3 x 11 + 5 = 38
if you're looking for an equation!
