Celtic are champions again despite doing their level best to give Sevco hope that the football gods were smiling on the seven-year-old club.
In the aftermath of the game at Ibrox in December some thought that 2019 might be Sevco’s year.
Sevco’s year?
Really?
Why?
Firstly, Celtic had totally botched the summer transfer window and only landed one of the four main signing targets.
Then the main centre half kicked the pram and had a walk-off part in a Greek tragedy in Athens.
If all of that wasn’t enough, on the last day of the window Celtic lost their main striker.
This led to a less than convincing first half of the season and the first ever league defeat to Sevco on December 29th.
The klan believed that great things were possible and the Stenography Corps lost their succulent shit.
In the January window, Celtic’s main business was confined loan deals and the acquisition of Davis and Defoe had the local media in raptures.
To add spice to the drama the scriptwriters decided to write Leigh Griffiths out of the latter part of the season.
Then the big reveal…
In the dead of night, the man who claimed on the turf at Hampden that he was “born into Celtic” decided that he was “terminado”.
He then popped up stating that he would “give his life” for Leicester City!
The scene was set for Celtic’s season to go south rather rapidly.
Step up, Neil Francis Lennon…
Lenny inherited an eight-point lead and a shell shocked squad.
He has now delivered 8IAR with a squad of players he had zero time to work with.
As it stands today the Champions Elect are 12 points ahead of the basket of assets.
Moreover, if Celtic win their remaining matches the Hoops would beat the 7IAR year points total.
Given how this campaign commenced that is quite remarkable.
At the start of the season, it was almost as if the folks at Kerrydale Street wanted to even things up a bit.
Of course, they didn’t it was just the chaos of the universe and several elements coming into alignment to diminish a Double Treble winning squad.
Now Celtic are one match away from a Treble Treble.
Yes, quite remarkable.
A cynic might say that the club with the largest football budget has once more won the league.
However, that would imply that having more much money than the opposition confers some sort of sporting advantage.
What a bizarre notion.
Well done Bhoys!

Mourinho for Celtic?
I sincerely hope not.
I also sincerely hope it’s not David Moyes. Christ, I’d rather have The Blessed Cardigan!! They play the same mind-numbingly boring football, but at least Wattie had some success with it. God forbid it’s Moyes!
Frankly, I think Lenny has earned another tilt. He is genuinely Celtic to the core, and there would be a wonderful symmetry to the man who began the run to 10IAR being there to finish it.
Never happen & but if it did would be great
Well here we go. Will we see the class and the righteous behaviour claimed as their own preserve by the Ibrox club and fans next weekend by welcoming the 8 IAR Champions onto the pitch with a guard of honour?
I believe that Gerrard himself would see this as a natural reaction to the newly crowned champions visit to Ibrox next week.
However he’s about to find out the true nature of the nest of vipers he’s walked into as a guard of honour will be viewed by the fans as a betrayal of their beliefs and he will seriously damage his relationship with the support.
Will be 10 times worse if his team fail to win the game and someone posts a photo of him in Seville in 2003 with his Celtic kit on. 😃
See David proven slandered Scott Brown again I dident kno hes a sevco fan
Well done Neil Lennon and the whole squad – 8IAR delivered, despite all the negativity from certain quarters. The Board should now announce Lennon as the new permanent manager and let him get on with planning for next season and beyond. Lenny delivered titles 1, 2 and 3 and has now completed No 8 in very trying circumstanes, after BR suddenly left Celtic to pursue his need to lay down his life for the great Leicester City !!. Now bring home the Treble Treble Neil, in memory of all the lost Lions including Billy and Stevie. Hail.Hail.
The MSSM are happy to fill their column space with Gerrard’s continuing cry that he wants to add quality to the squad.
No offence to those already signed up on pre contracts/Bosmans but in the real football world quality costs real money.
Not one of our bold journalists has pointed out Gerrards ability to say one thing and do another.
He talks about having a small, tight squad, then adds further squad players to what he already has.
Perhaps the disastrous signings of Grezda and Barisic has made Kingco reluctant to open the war chest promised to Stevie G?
With the Sports Direct judgement in the wind and the Sevco v Sevco scrap over the assets also in play it might be wise of Kingco to batten down the hatches in the meantime.
I’ve yet to read ANYTHING official on the Sevco v Sevco scenario. Believe me, I fervently hope there is a live case but I can’t find a trace of it. ANYWHERE!!
Fantastic..

Glad it’s all tied up before the ‘derby’..
I’m sure they’ll show respect to the champions there!
I see they are already ‘going for 55’ again!
Bringing in spl dross freebies and ‘might bes’ Without knowing who will be managing Celtic or who they will bring in …
… yet the iBrokes crystal ball says next season is theirs.
Meanwhile … underperforming players are being given the ‘bum’s rush’..
You’ve got to wonder who it was that signed them!?!
One wee obstacle and the triple treble is ours…
I don’t think the magnitude of that will sink in until afterwards … for us , or for the rest of Scottish football!
It’s going to make a certain ‘faction’ sick with envy.
It will probably never be repeated ,
Interesting take from Stevie G that he will be sitting down with the fringe players and telling them to find a new club.
That in itself will cause ructions in the dressing room but he under estimates the love players have for money and if you are sitting on a good contract at Ibrox which won’t be replicated elsewhere then you won’t be going anywhere, unless of course your contract is paid up!
Hail hail to the Champions, super goal Mikel.
Sorted lads let’s show this shite next week how to play get your bets on serco get a penalty, watch for the hospital tackles Boys that’s y that cunt Gerard wants his fence for practice hospital tackles well done Celtic H H ,
After the poor start and roller coaster events of the season, this title should be cherished as it cements our standing as the dominant force in Scottish football. Roll on number 9. HH
Champions!
First train back from Aberdeen cancelled due to there being “no driver”.
Shall we have a sweepstake to see which team the mysterious missing driver supports?
I do so sincerely hope he’s ok?
I hope you all drank to his return to good health while you waited for the next available train in the nearby hostelries HH
Happy New Title everyone!!!
