How the SPFL table would look if teams tried against Selik! Billy Conspiracy explains all

Reality is somewhere that Ibrox fans have never been comfortable with.

A 3-0 win at Tynecastle in midweek was exactly what was needed, confirmation of all the theories that have been bouncing around on social media backed up by the impressive media conferences of Micky Beale.

The new manager is a deep thinker on the game, articulate with his thoughts on the game with an in-depth knowledge of every player in the game.

He knows Todd Cantwell, Tom Davies, Morgan Whittaker and Nicolas Raskin better than anyone outwith their family groups.

Even a laboured 2-1 home win over Ross County couldn’t impact on their beliefs, of Mister Beale had been in at the start of the season their side would be top of the table with Ange Postecoglou back in Oz unable to cope with the pressure.

On Sunday morning the gap at the top of the table would be down to six points, win the two ‘Old Firms’ and Mister Beale has ‘delivered the 56’.

Lunchtime in Perth started full of hope before the horrors of reality returned. The dreaded Selik were 3-1 up at half-time, added another before full-time and increased their goal difference advantage by two to 25 after 25 matches.

Every game Celtic win by one more goal than their lot, there can’t be many leagues worldwide where the leaders are plus 25 better off than the side ‘chasing them in second place.

Celtic’s lead in the Premiership table is doing some serious damage to minds that aren’t the most stable at the best of times.

There is now a fortnight for them to wrestle with the reality of a very likely Celtic title party, again. The airwaves will be full of flat-earth exponents sharing their incredible theories ranging from Andy Considine to throw-ins with all shades of madness in-between.
