Hello

New member here (Been a reader for a few years) Felt like I had to make an account to bring up a point that no one has seemed to mentioned so far.

All I have heard from my Celtic supporting friends/ colleagues for the past few months is how the league was handed to us on a plate. 'It was the worst performing Celtic team I have ever seen'. While this may be true, It doesn't seem to paint the bigger picture here as to the real reason they lost, is because Rangers could finally hand them a proper challenge. Let me elaborate my point.

Celtic Table Result of 2020/ 2021
W22 D11 L5 GF78 GA29 GD49 PTs77

Celtic Table Result of 2017/ 2018
W24 D10 L4 GF73 GA25 GD48 PTs82

Not so big of a difference with Lennons 'Shambles of a team' and Big Brendas defence after his 'Domestic Invincibles. (We call them Domestic Invincibles Because remember they got pumped in Europe that season) 1 more loss and 1 more draw. That is the difference. Had Celtic actually been able to muster a bit of pride on there last game against hibs then it could of been the difference of 1 loss.

In fact they actually have a better goals for and goal difference this year than in 2017/ 2018 when they had world beater Dembele. But no doubt they would all be calling for Brendas head had Rangers actually been half a team to put up a challenge. Remember this was the team that beat us 5-0 at the end of the season. That is how low we were.

Granted they also won the treble that year I suppose where as Lennon crashed out both cups but this highlights my point I will always make. You can only beat what is put in front of you.

We have struggled for 10 years but now we are back to where we belong I cannot wait for next season. Gerrard has done a fantastic job and you know what, I hope Celtic can actually make it exciting to compete against them instead of being lazy and taking everything for granted again.

Celtic only ever bettered our points tally of 102 this year once and that was there invincible season of 106.they may say it was handed to us but stats don't lie. They would have had to win every1 of there games apart from there 1s that we played each other. they got well and truly pumped is the real answer by the far superior team. fact.55 has well and truly destroyed them 🤣🤣🤣.

No need to finger point or make a fool of anyone, they do a good enough job of doing that to themselves these days lol

It's all banter at the end of the day but stats don't lie about the 'Domestic Invincibles' title defence being just as poor as their performance this season, but it's all 'Lennon fault' lol :)

Welcome big jock and cracking first post. Wouldn't have mattered if they were firing on all cylinders, we were just too good this year, Europe showed us that.
