Last season they were the super-fit Euro heroes. A squad of players that could run for two hours on a Thursday night then do it all again on the Sunday as they chased the Europa League dream and domestic glory.
Super fit athletes that could outrun opponents who had enjoyed a free week of training sessions and still have something to spare.
It seemed like a medical miracle which of course no-one in Scotland dared to ask any questions about.

And now they can barely raise a jog in the second half of matches. Big John Lundstram can hardly change direction without resembling an oil tanker, just a few months ago he was charging around believing that he was the Best Midfielder on Earth.
At Motherwell on Sunday Connor Goldson and Ryan Jack will join the walking wounded which includes John Souttar, Filip Helander, Tom Lawrence, Kemar Roofe and Ianis Hagi.
Turkish starlet Ridvan Yilmaz could be in contention to start at left-back, or maybe not.
They keep using this word SIMPLY and the song Simply The Best,now they are Simply The Worst team to ever play in the Champions league.
For the weekend game at Motherwell I’m sue the bias refs will smooth away the 7-1 SKELPING by denying Motherwell a couple of goals,then awarding sevco a couple penalties with a couple of offside goals being allowed to stand.
I’ll answer the question-
Blood doping
Open Secret.
Unfortunately no one in the Scottish Game has the bollox to raise a fuss about it.
Most Chairman in the SPFL go along with the ‘ the Scottish Game needs a strong Rangers (sic)’ mantra.
Either for financial reasons, cultural affiliations ( that does a lot of heavy lifting) or out of fear for the ‘ social unrest’.
They will get away with anything in Scotland unless or until some outside agency steps in.
