Chris Sutton expected the result of last week’s Glasgow derby to be a one day wonder, possibly stretching to 48 hours.
The BT Sport pundit has witnessed the twists and turns of a season in which Celtic seemed to be in self-destruct mode while the delusions at Ibrox reached epic proportions as they failed every decent test put their way.
No medals are handed out for closing the gap or finishing runners-up but six days on it seems only a matter of time before Steven Gerrard is finally going to be able to call himself a league winner.
Writing in the Daily Record Sutton explained:
Rangers are celebrating like they’ve won the World Cup when the reality is they have won sod all.
Last weekend’s victory against Celtic was the equivalent of a consolation goal yet we’ve seen all this nonsense about Glasgow being blue.
It’s embarrassing. I would be ashamed to hear that guff if I was part of a squad that failed to win the league and got bundled out of both cups.
Celtic clinched the title with a win in their third last match despite the February turmoil of Brendan Rodgers flitting overnight to Leicester.
Neil Lennon was drafted in with an injury time winner away to Hearts in his opening match highly significant.
Nir Bitton and Ewan Henderson were part of the midfield at Tynecastle with injuries ruling out Ryan Christie, Callum McGregor, Tom Rogic and Olivier Ntcham.
Injury problems have dogged Lennon throughout his time as caretaker with Dedryck Boyata, Christie, James Forrest and Kieran Tierney all missing from the defeat at Ibrox.
