According to Eilidh Barbour it won’t be Celtic that enjoy the bragging rights in Scottish football over the summer months.
Last Sunday Barbour was at Tynecastle to watch Celtic clinch the SPFL Premiership title with a 2-0 win over Hearts, in two weeks time she will almost certainly be fronting Sky Sports’ coverage of the presentation ceremony.
Celtic lost their second match of the campaign today, it made for painful and uncomfortable viewing but after a couple of days the hurt will fade, there won’t be any lasting impact from defeat in a dead rubber.
According to @ScotlandSky the bragging rights will …”Spend the summer at Ibrox”…
Are Celtic not going for the ‘World Record’ 8th domestic treble in 3 weeks time then?
Didn’t Celtic put the Ibrox club out of the two cups?

Barbour is usually one of the most accomplished presenters in the Scottish game, managing to provoke comments from Kris Boyd while also knowing how to ensure that the pundits don’t overstep the mark.
After a few days of reflection Ange Postecoglou will have his squad fully focussed on the three remaining SPFL Premiership matches before the season ends at Hampden against Inverness Caley Thistle in the final of the Scottish Cup.
We deserved that SCUDDING today played like a nickel&dime team and played right into sevco’s hands with with Chantwell the motormouth being the icing on the cake with that goal.
That result today was all down to taking sevco for granted and actually treating them without any respect,punters or chancers on here giving it we just need to show up and not be at our best and the game is ours.
Play like that in the final and supercali will go ballistic and we will be atrocious because after that performance today the TREBLE has gone and now find ourselves in big TREBLE in this summer rebuild.
There is a strong whiff of hun coming from you.
You tell the truth on here and the Celtic blog as a Celtic fan and people shoot you down I flames for a bit of constructive criticism.
Bye bye TREBLE.
Get real Scud. it is a non-competative match for Celtic with the League already decided.
Barbour is just doing what Sky wants her to say.Nothing more and nothing less.
So what?
That’s not the point maister,we should have turned up today,we could have killed their summer of if we had beat them,I fear we have let them off the hook,if we had put in a performance today we could have totally demoralised them ,now they are buying into the season tickets their Ibrox supremacy but if truth be told we are not a better team than them ,we scraped through the last 3 games against them and I think today they showed us up ,which was always on the cards btw.
Jim, the League was finished before today. We are looking to the Scottish Cup Final on 3rd June. Nothing else this season matters.
Their summer is already defined by the fact they have won nothing.
They have nothing to play for. Their season is already a Dead Rubber. They turned up today but it changes nothing. They will win nothing. Nothing changes that.
Beat Billy Dodds and Inverness Caledonian thistle and we have another historic Treble.
Five Trebles in seven years. Now what could be sweeter than that?
Beale now has Ange sussed guess who the pressure is on now.
You sound just like webarryferguson!
And Wow! That would be quite a claim by Barbour, who usually appears to know her stuff!
What about the SS commentator Crocker when the 3rd goal happened ? It’s Fashion Sakallaaaaaaaaa ,was his joyous uttering ! It was dripping down his leg after that .They are at the biased comments from every angle including freelance presenter Barbour .
A meaningless game and they are all in a frenzy.When I saw Bernabei in the tunnel i knew Ange was experimenting.
Also it showed today that we have a few players who are good to come on in the last ten minutes.
Get the treble done
Hail Hail
Gerry, excellent comment.
Some of the hysterical shit above made me want to comment directly but I chose to read all comments first. I also responded (to nonsense) on another thread.
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, and THAT will do for me.
IN ANGE WE TRUST!
