Gray is talking crap, the race is not close at all. If Celtic win the 1st game back which should be OF game, then they are as good as uncatchable.
However if Rangers were to win the 1st OF game, as well as our game in hand, then the gap is cut to only 7 pts and possibilty of a shock might be on the cards.
To have any chance we would also have to win 2nd OF game at Piggery but the scheduling of that game could make in meaningless. It would have to be no later than the 1st or 2nd game after the split, any later, say 4th or 5th game, Scum could have already secured the title before game played.
Yep, their 1st and 2nd choice goalkeepers will be out of contract by then as well. What are the rules with that?Make no mistake, this septic team are fckn shite,,they can collapse just as easily as we did after the break.. NOTHING is over till its over..
Consider it this way, Rangers win at Ibrox cutting the gap to 10, Celtic then draw at the Hobos allowing Rangers to narrow it to 8 then 5 with the game in hand against St Johnstone. Win at the Piggery after the split and suddenly it's 2 points and arse-clench time. Stranger things...
Maybe a bit trivial but why mention that Andy is a Rangers fan? It's never mentioned that Hartson, Sutton, Keevins, Provan, English etc etc are Septic fans. Am I reading too much into this selective reporting?
Parallels with describing naughtiness by a Mhank as by a "football supporter" whereas a misdemeanor by one of us is always labelled with "Rangers fan", and sometimes with a further caustic description such as thug / hooligan attached.
Maybe Corona fever's kicking in
This is all that needs to be said.The simple response to these mentally challenged journos is. Would Peter Liewell and Celtic concede the title to Rangers in the same circumstances? Followed by "Exactly , so shut the phuck up"
Current form is irrelevant. Dealing in facts is the only way possible.People were posting optimistic hypothetical like this on a weekly basis after we dropped points.
The Coronavirus shut-down has made many forget that the general consensus on here was that there was no way we'd win every game until the end of the season. Too many in our squad's ars.es flap when put under pressure. They'd wilt on a title run in.
I'm still not prepared to just hand over a title though. It's a clusterf.ck however it works out.
If it calms down over the next 8 weeks, I can see the season being finished behind closed doors and next year's being pushed back or the winter break being scrapped.
Too many £s on the line for too many clubs to null and void it in all 4 Scottish Leagues. Clubs would 100% go under in that scenario (they still might)

Rangers CAN catch and overtake Celtc IF we win all our games and they drop points.
Hearts CAN avoid relegation due to the points available.
European and top 6 six places can change from the current due to points available.
Despite "if's" beings used it is entirely possible. 2005 tells us that when they won at Ibrox to go 5 points clear with 4 games left...

Aye, I'm agreeing with you.
I'm not prepared to sign off on any title til it's mathematically impossible to be caught.
I just don't see how the void the season without it condemning several clubs to their grave.
Whatever happens, it's a can of worms.
It's understood SPFL and SFA chiefs are NOT interested in voiding the season and would prefer to ratify final positions in all four divisions as they stand.
Where is it that every media outlet is getting this “understanding” from.
I’ve not seen anything official from the SPFL or the SFA on their preference.
Nice to see someone like Andy speaking sense. We should never give up anything to that disgusting peado harbouring club.
They only need to win 4 games or something.If we collapsed like we did after the winter break, anyone can.
It's that simple.
Andy only talking sense. In saying that, those stupid points we've recently thrown away has been a gift to the crooks at the SPFL not to void the season. They and they media wouldn't be running with this pro Celtc narrative if the gap had been closer.
Our 'collapse' was 3 defeats and a draw, from first dropped points to last was less than 6 weeks.They only need to win 4 games or something.
We collapsed over two and a half months.

"If".
You cannot award a league title, or European places and relegations, on if.
The league title is close"if" we beat them twice and win our game in hand.
This is the kind of post you expect from a ref supporter.

Nice contradictions.
Methinks that the bear from Barrhead is doing what he wrongly accuses Andy of.
Time we had a few on our side putting the counter argument (though still trivial in the grand scheme of things at the moment.)
ANDY GRAY insists Celtic can't be crowned champions early - because the title race is "too close to call".
Football is at a standstill as the world deals with the ongoing coroanvirus crisis which continues to claim thousands of lives each day.
While Uefa have ambitious plans to conclude the 2019/20 season by the end of June, the date is widely believed to be unrealistic.
That could force governing bodies to make a decision on whether the current campaign should be abandoned.
It's understood SPFL and SFA chiefs are NOT interested in voiding the season and would prefer to ratify final positions in all four divisions as they stand.
That would see Celtic, Dundee United, Raith Rovers and Cove Rangers declared title winners.
Yet despite the Hoops topping the Premiership by 13 points with eight games to play, Gray believes the destination of the trophy isn't guaranteed.
Discussing whether leagues should be voided and titles handed out, Liverpool fan Richard Keys told sidekick Gray: "Celtic shouldn't win in Scotland either."
Former Rangers and Scotland striker Gray replied: "No Championship that's unfinished should be declared finished.
"In Scotland, it's even closer [compared to England].
"It's close and it's not close as it might be or should be.
"But it's too close to call still [in regards to handing out the title]."
