Right now they can get to 91 points (if they beat us twice too). We therefore, technically, need 16 points - 92 presently is the magic number. Realistically it is 91, assuming Celtic win out. I doubt we need 91 but the quicker we get there the better. Still the possibility of winning it at Parkhead too... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tannochsidebear 2,306 Posted February 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2021 10 games left to go, 6 of those at home. Net 15 point lead. Still unbeaten. Yes, we were utter gash today and we now know we can’t play a midfield 3 of Kamara Zungu & Aribo. Lesson learned. It also shows that taking Morelos & Roofe out the team is a big ask. Put the above 2 statements together and we didn’t show up. Tell me a team that would expect to win an away game without the quality of Davis, Jack, Arfield, Morelos, Roofe. Gerrard took a gamble today with his team selection to give important players a break with one eye on our ipcoming schedule, and it didn’t work out. He has earned that gamble with the lead we have established, so to give 2 points away is probably in the big picture worth it for us. 3 of our next 4 games are at home where we are 100% so let’s just put this down to a failed punt and move onwards and upwards. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 743 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 IMO Celtic will struggling to reach 85 points. Do the maths. Only a collapse of about 6-8 defeats would cost us the title and thats not happening at this stage. How can a team who as only lost only to a Quality Bayer Leverkusen side go on such a run - it wont happen. Yesterday can be looked as a reminder - yet still didnt lose. Onto Kilmarnock on the weekend and give them a dooing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 we should rest more players this weekend. If it leads to another performance like this so be it. It really shouldn't though. I would play wright for Kent and Paterson for Tav at least. Celtc have handed us the opportunity to do so. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree. The time to rest players and tinker is when this is done. Say we were to drop points due to a few more draws. That could potentially reduce our lead to 11 pts. We still have to play them twice and who's to say they dont get their tails up and win those 2 games. Just play our best XI in all games until this is done. There is too much riding on this to risk it on trying to prove a point about the depth of our squad. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a dramatic upturn in form will see them drop 10 points in the next 12 games. leaving us 2 wins from the title. We have massive leeway. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
