Hugh Keevins was in trademark mode on Radio Clyde yesterday as he sensed a slip up from Celtic in the title race.
At half time Ange Postecoglou’s side were a goal behind, in the 80th minute the scores were level with the As It Stands SPFL table showing a seven point gap with nine matches still to be played.
Back at the start of the season Keevins had explained that the title would be going to Ibrox as part of a pass the parcel process despite one club winning the SPFL title in 10 of the last 11 seasons.
A year earlier Daily Record readers were greeted with the news that Celtic’s new manager was Absolutely Not Good Enough.
Over the course of 38 matches, 29 now played this season, every team will have testing periods, when they fall behind, are off form or up against it.
Despite over 50 years in the media it seems that the slightest set-back for Celtic is met with doom and gloom forecasts from Keevins, even his colleagues Gordon Dalziel and Gordon Duncan can laugh off his predictions as they demonstrated again yesterday.

Keevins: This could be a strange moment in the title race, Celtic drop two points at home to ten men. But they, they, they have had 26, 27 chances, whatever but they look unconvincing, I can only say unconvincing and misfiring. Celtic really do look like they could go on all day and not score.
GOAL FLASHES……………….
Dalziel: Ha ha ha ha ha
Duncan: And it is the substitution that has worked. It is Oh, it is a terrific header from a corner, he liked it he has the shirt off, he is off celebrating. He has got that ‘Get it right….. Hugh Keevins’ t-shirt on underneath it. It might be ruled out by VAR after all this but Oh has indeed put Celtic in front.
Keevins: Is there a check?
Dalziel: Ha ha ha ha ha ha, he’s got his fingers and everything crossed, ah Hugh.
Celtic now have a 15 day break before they return to action away to Ross County, with that match completed they are likely to face three Glasgow derbies in one month which should settle a few debates.
With 27 wins and one draw from 29 matches Postecoglou’s side look to be in a very strong position to build on the two trophies won last season.
