In the world of Scottish football, it is quite an achievement to come up with the daftest question of the season.
After winning eight consecutive titles, in any other country in the world it would be natural to ask how the challenger will react to the prospect of making the breakthrough but in Scotland Sky Sports have asked if Celtic have the bottle for a title race!
As well as winning eight titles Celtic have won the last six cup competitions on offer, racking up a run of 30 straight wins in the process.
For an expert opinion Sky Sports turned to Craig Beattie, fresh from his appearance on Radio Clyde on Saturday and yesterday with Radio Scotland.
?? Do Celtic have the bottle for a title race?
That’s the question asked by Craig Beattie with his former club ahead of Rangers on goal difference in the Scottish Premiership.

Going into the November international break Celtic are in top place in the SPFL Premiership and also in the Europa League with qualification to the February knock out stage assured.
With around £40m in the bank Celtic will be able to add to their squad in January, Steven Gerrard has already stated that he will have to trim his squad with funding to be found for the missing £10m highlighted in the company’s Annual Report.
