Scottish football is a joke...

The Scottish Premier League is ridiculous.

Celtic are 21 points clear and they could win the title in a fortnight. The second best team in Scotland are currently 22 points clear in the Third Division.

Last summer the bloodthirsty desire to punish Rangers resulted in the death of Scottish football as sustainable worthy entertainment.

The Rangers-haters got what they wanted, and ended up with a joke league. Good work.

 

Thereâ??s a cryptic message for devolution lovers in there somewhere.

 

Below Celtic, four points separate eight teams. It would be a decent league worth watching if you took Celtic out of it, which is surely the only sensible solution.

 

The 5-0 thrashing of bottom club Dundee at the weekend was a training exercise and Celtic Park was nowhere near full. And why would fans pay to watch their team train?

Celtic have scored 53 more goals than Dundee already this season. It was an embarrassing mis-match.

 

Weâ??re seeing the net result of this in Europe as well. Yes the crowd, the spirit and the whole atmosphere at Celtic when a juggernaut of world football like Barcelona arrive in town can carry Celtic through the odd night or two. But that can only take you so far. And Neil Lennonâ??s side were subsequently swept aside by Juventus.

 

The conclusion is this: the SPL is a joke, and it needs sorting out before the passion of the fans is diluted by the meaningless football north of the border.

Unfortunately I don't think it's correct to say we're the second best team in Scotland.

 

We're the only club that stands a chance of taking the title off them in the next few years though.

given our huge overheads and lavish resources compared to every provincial club in the country that is a disgustingly poor indictment of our manager and his backroom team, if true.
