    Naw. League was won weeks ago. Done. Over. Finished. Focus now is transfer windows and how we reach the next level.

    If we beat them in our next clash, that's the league done.

    Usually quite reluctant to say things like this myself but I reckon that you're right.

    The refs are their only chance Jeannie and even they can't stop us. With impartial officials in Scotland we are probably 20 pts clear due to the extra points our challengers would have dropped.

    While I don't want us to get complacent I think this will be another January window treated with importance. Ideas of who is going, in the summer and pre-preparing for that. So I think our squad will likely be stronger than 1 it is and we will go on and win.

    Unreal consistency over the last year - genuinely frightening. What's it been, one domestic loss in over a calendar year, is that right? Doesn't get spoken about enough. The huns are a mess but their inconsistent form shows how difficult this period can be with the overload of matches.

    Think so, obviously the cup game too but that came in extra time. Insane consistency.

    Thing is potential targets will know we will have the champions league qualification for certain now we are so far ahead in the league. That should make January transfers easier. Although ange said its done anyway :56: what a guy.

    I'm not going to lie, I thought it was always a possibility win all games before the break but I'd have accepted 14/15 before the season started. Sure some games have been a tough watch but overall I'd say we've got so many points playing well. Whenever we go down I'm confident we will get another.

    Aye I thought it was a possibility too. St Mirren was a disappointment but a good wake up call. 14 out of 15 is sensational and I do think we'll get better.

    Defo too early to take the title as a given but I am curious about how Ange would handle an early title win.

    Last season the players were not allowed to properly celebrate until the last fixture despite winning it beforehand.

    But can Ange do the same this season if we win it with weeks to go?

    And then there's the question of how we would approach dead rubbers in the league if there are lots of them. I suppose it's safe to assume Ange would continue fielding his strongest XI throughout the campaign

    I could see him bringing some youth in. However he respects the fact the crowd have paid good money to see celtics best team winning games. So he won't change much. Will be the same in Australia. Those fans can finally see the celtic players and he'll let it happen not some Z team even we've not heard of.

    Was thinking the same.
    Top prospects from the b team (might get to see another Vata in the first team).

    But you're right. Ange really does try respect the fans as much as possible.

    Some domestic record, as usual remains humble and dignified, even in the face of cheating officials, he knows how to handle the Media, gives them what he want's to give them, not what they want to hear.

    If we believe what ange is saying, this window could be interesting. Just hope we can get a few upgrades to an already decent squad. Let's keep this train rolling!

    Won’t ever say league is done especially with the run of games in December.

    tricky away trips to pittodrie, Easter road and ibrox.

    sandwich in 2 games at home vs Livingston and st Johnstone who will pull a Ross county.

    Out those 15 points take maximum and go into the transfer window and it’s done.

    I think once we mathematically win the league he will give them pancake Tuesdy off.
