Are European games better than Rangers matches?
They always say that it’s not over till the fat lady sings, I think she’s clearing her vocal chords without having started to sing yet.
I think that we will win it, but I have also thought that in the past and I’ve turned out to be wrong. Really, I don’t want to sound negative here but if you can, have a thought about how bad it’s going to look if we didn’t finish the season as league champions.
Ok, if you’re still with me after that thought, then we can move on.
A lot is being made of the fact that we could clinch it at Ibrox, my personal preference would be to have the league clinched at home and to them play Rangers FC (in administration) at home as champions.
I am very sure that since Neil Lennon has experienced heartache in past campaigns that he will not be taking anything for granted so hats off to Neil and the team for the result and performance that they produced v Hibs on Sunday.
Some may argue now that with such a big gap between us and the rest, that it will become even more difficult to keep our focus so here’s hoping that we can have a good spirited performance and that we can enjoy a big party at each of our games between now and the end of the season.

With the amount of, in my opinion, idiots, who tell us a league win would be devalued, I think the best way to shut them up would be win it by a record breaking margin.
Next item on my agenda, or rant if you prefer, is songs of hatred and bigotry. Thankfully, I didn’t have to witness the hatred that spouted from the stands of our cash strapped rivals on Saturday, but I have been hearing that it’s as bad as it was on last years League Cup Final.
The easy thing now is for us to say ‘well they are going unpunished for it so we should be allowed to do it too’. I’d urge our fans not to follow that mindset and to keep up with any of the non offensive songs that we are famous for.
Call me paranoid, but if we were to sing songs and to be found guilty, I wouldn’t put it past the SFA, or relevant powers that be, to introduce the deduction of points that’s been proposed in the past try and close the gap between us and whoever happens to be in second place.
My final point is something that I touched on in my most recent piece for this site. I made it clear that I don’t think that we need a strong Rangers FC (in administration). Well instead of going over that point, does anyone know why we would need them to be strong?
So far, the only people that I’ve heard saying that we do need them are people who are not fans of Celtic.
No more derby games is the only viable argument I have heard yet, maybe some readers can convince me otherwise?
I have to be honest and say that yes, I would miss them but I would also say that I get much more enjoyment out of any European run than I have ever had against Rangers FC (in administration). If it was a straight choice between the two, I’d prefer the European games. Of course, it’s not a choice at all and we have no control over what happens anyway but I guess there’s no harm in discussing it.
Also, I’ve opened up an account on Twitter, so feel free to give me any feedback on this or anything else I’ve written @1888steven.
And if you’re the person who has @steven1888, can I have my name back please?
