It seems that there is little mileage left in singing the praises of Todd Cantwell and Nicolas Raskin.
There is a limit to the polishing that you can do on a 2-1 home win over Ross County.
In despair Keith Jackson has gone all Super Computer and put his name to the suggestion that next season’s SPFL title race could be tied between two clubs on 106 points.
It is the sort of fantasy that a stats geek would come up with, hardly worthy of a multi award winning chief Sports Reporter on a national title.
With 13 rounds of fixtures left to play Celtic retain the nine point advantage they had when Micky Beale replaced Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
Back in those November days Ange Postecoglou’s side had two trips to Ibrox to worry over. That fear has been halved, the gap remains with the goal difference extended to 25 better than their city rivals.
Giving Beale’s side a single goal victory in each of the remaining derbies, they will still need to take four points more than Celtic from the other 11 fixtures or three more and win each match by two more goals than the current champions.
With one SPFL defeat in the last 17 months, covering five Glasgow Derbies, it really is quite a stretch to see Celtic losing three of their next 13 SPFL matches while Beale maintains his 100% record through until the end of May.
If that is achieved a billionaire from Motherwell should be presenting the winners medals at Ibrox at the end of this season.
Michael Beale has Rangers matching Celtic and the numbers show it’s more than a new manager bounce | Keith Jackson https://t.co/bWv1ia6YPX

He is matching Celtic and the numbers do show it, Keith. It’s still -9. Albeit, the goal difference has now gone to +60 and +35. So..

Oi! I fink dat Keef is doin a great job writin all them words dahn on a paper wiff just one finga. Him and me go way back – in fact, I fink I knew Keef when I was managing up here wiff the Scouser.
And even back then I could smell he had a good story in him, wot wiff all his experience and deep finkin an ‘at. Keef finks like me – I’ve looked deep into his eyes and I fink I seen wot you have all missed. He’s like John the Papist to my Jesus.
