The League is over? Celtic fans swamp Tweet

Before September is out many Celtic fans are already writing off the prospect of winning the SPFL title.

A home draw against Dundee United confirmed that Ange Postecoglou’s side are looking like a mid-table outfit with mitigating circumstances for earlier fixtures no longer valid.

Last week at Livingston there was a plastic pitch and a Europa League hangover. Celtic were without several influential players today but United were missing Charlie Mulgrew and Marc McNulty as well as playing in front of no away fans.

Celtic struck the woodwork three times but those watching the match know what a title winning side looks like. Seven matches is a reasonable sample to judge on, with October including trips to Aberdeen, Motherwell and Hibs things could soon be much worse as Postecoglou comes to terms with the extent of the rebuild he has taken on.

With a lengthy injury list the last thing that Celtic needed today was more knocks and disruptions, James McCarthy and Josip Juranovic were unable to start the second half today and look doubtful for Thursday’s match at home to Bayer Leverkusen.

The new manager has been dealt a tough hand but the SPFL Premiership table shows Celtic six off the pace with Motherwell and Dundee United on more points. After last season’s miseries the last thing that Celtic need is a second winter of discontent.
