As Celtic prepare to wrap up title number six this weekend attention is focusing on another number- ten.
This title looks like being the final one involving Emilio Izaguirre leaving just three players who’ve been involved from the start of the run- Scott Brown, Mikael Lustig and James Forrest.
The squad quickly assembled by Neil Lennon in 2010 formed the backbone of the first five titles but the turnover has been marked with a number of new faces replacing other familiar players who have moved on.
Kris Commons scored the goals that delivered the 13/14 title but has still to surface this year, Leigh Griffiths was the main man last season but has taken a back seat this term as Moussa Dembele scores for fun.
In a perfect world Brendan Rodgers will still be managing Celtic in four years time but that is dependant on a number of issues but if Celtic can deliver on their part of the bargain it’s unlikely that the Irishman will be touting his services elsewhere.
With all of those factors in mind I’m nominating five players who’ll be chasing the ten- assuming that there’s no late collapse from Brendan’s Bhoys over the coming weeks.
