**** really hurting big time.

Bennett's obsession with me is getting a bit stalkerish.
 

Again I'm sorry for saying old firm, it's just easier that way.

9 games still to play, a game in hand and 2 old firm (sorry Romeo) games to be played. Could we have regained our earlier form?  Could we have beaten celtic?  Could celtic have had a few bad games, they got through a few previous games by the skin of their teeth....
Could asking for fairness be classed as self interest, possibly...
Did we want celtic to get £30m champions league money?
Did the spfl's cowboy antics piss us off?
I don't think you can single out any one reason.

So let's say rangers win both derbies, and their game in hand. They still needed Celtic to drop 5 points more than Rangers in the remaining 6 games. Celtic had dropped 7 points in their other 28 games to non Rangers opponents. Rangers to win the league would have required Celtic to win less than half of their remaining games when they'd won 26/30 up to it stopping. And for Rangers to win 9/9 when they'd won 21/29.

Is that possible? Sure. Also wildly unrealistic? Aye, that too.

Celtic have dropped 8 points in 30 games. They would need to drop 11 in only 8 games for Rangers to catch up and Rangers to win all 9.

Celtic have dropped 10 points in 30 league games, but 5 of those came against Livingston. Rangers winning all 9 would seem unlikely given they've dropped 7 against the other top 6 clubs (ex. Celtic).

Rookie mistake not getting that right so I stand corrected 😆

Good chance Celtic would've dropped points against us at the Spaghettihad after the split (presuming we remained in the top 6), they've not won a game there since we came up last season. Still don't think The Rangers could put together a run of wins to take advantage of any points Celtic dropped though.

Lets be honest, The Rangers wanted the season voided because that was the only way to stop Celtic getting to 9 IAR, and your fans are quite happy that the season couldn't be completed. 

Finishing the season as is, gives The Rangers the opportunity to throw a question mark on this season's title though, saying it wasn't properly won, but you've won several tainted titles during the EBT seasons so it isn't exactly solid ground you're standing on using that patter.

He's entitled to his opinion,  there's nothing more to add to it. 

Pretty boring if we all parroted the same stuff.

celtic fans do seem to think that because he's Irish he's going to be walking around with a tricolour over his shoulder while wearing a celtic shirt and singing IRA songs, they seem to struggle when he goes against their viewpoint. 

I think that expectation explains, in part, the stance he's adopting here.

He doesn't want to be seen that way, which is to his credit.  Backing the horse he has, however, is not.
