Not for the first time, and probably not the last, Ibrox fans have been guilty of premature celebrations.
Last season away to Ross County and at home to Dundee United the gullible were counting their chickens only for Tony Ralston and Liel Abada to remind them that We Never Stop is more than a catchphrase.
With Euan Anderson and Alastair Mather doing their best at Perth today Celtic were only leading 1-0 going into the last 10 minutes.
With no obvious stoppages in the game Anderson decided to play five minutes of extra time and looked like he had came up with the goods when Alex Mitchell equalised for the home side.
The celebrations among St Johnstone fans was nothing compared to the online excitement of obsessed Ibrox fans as their fantasies went into overdrive.

Within 70 seconds of Mitchell’s goal Giorgos Giakoumakis restored Celtic’s lead, putting the hoops out of reach regardless of what happened in their own match against St Mirren where the Nick Walsh/Tavpen partnership were back in action.
