He knew that he had been short-changed by the board and was probably pretty sure that the players he had left were unlikely to win the league. His "Honda Civic" comments were spot on.

No way this is now a 2 horse race , they are still very much in the thick of this I was at Dens Park in 1986. And yes I am writing off Celtic’s chances of winning the league. Their team is shite(by Celtic standards) and the whole atmosphere around that club is bad. Martin O’Neill is not the Messiah he is made out to be either. Great manager in his day but he’s an old, tired looking man now. It will be either be us or Rangers that win the league and I am not saying that off the back of this weekend’s results. I’ve been saying it for a couple of months now.

Yeah Rodger’s was/is a good manager. Same with O’Neil. The Celtic team are the problem along with their board. Long may it continue.

That said, Celtic are not out of it yet. Because Hearts and Rangers aren't sides that can be guaranteed to score near to maximum points. It wouldn't take too much of a twist or two for Celtic to come right back into the mix.

Mathematically, Celtic are not out of this title race. Obviously. But when you take a step back and analyse the situation that they are in, I am not buying that they are winning it. There is way too much strife within that club at the moment. The board and the fans are engaged in full blown open warfare. The team is not very good and even ‘the greatest fans in the world’ are having difficulty not getting on the team’s back because of how poorly they are playing. They’ve brought in a bunch of loan signings, all of whom know they will not be at Celtic come the end of May. How committed are they really? They also have players who’s contracts are running out and they won’t be getting renewed. Where are their heads at? The Japanese boys want out of there. So much gets said about Hearts not being able to handle a title run in because we’ve never been there before. Rangers bottle also gets called into question at times. The same is never said about Celtic. Well…..let’s just stop for a moment and take a closer look. Outside of Kieran Tierney, Callum McGregor, and James Forrest(who is now just a bit part player), how many players in that Celtic team are experts at winning leagues? Not many. Kieran Tierney and Callum McGregor are the only first team players Celtic have who they can hang their hat on as far as ‘bottle’ goes, and both of them are carrying injuries. I’d be surprised if Callum McGregor can see this season out with the injury he has. The upshot of it all is that CELTIC ARE AS LIKELY TO BOTTLE IT AS EITHER HEARTS OR RANGERS. And that’s the truth as I see it. Nah. That is a football team and a club that is at the end of a cycle. The whole thing is tired and it will be blown up in the summer. They are not winning the league this year. Put it this way. If they somehow DID manage to win the league then ourselves and especially Rangers should be taking a long, hard look in the mirror and asking ourselves why we haven’t won it. Celtic are like a boxer who is on the ropes and can no longer keep their hands up. Somebody just needs to deliver the knockout blow. It might just be Dundee who do it. Edited March 23 by No Idle Talk

And good enough to challenge for the title. But again you're right. They weren't the best side. There were 4 excellent sides in a very, very close race. When you have so many well matched sides then there is a chance the best one might not win. I'm not even all that sure which was the best side that year.

Rodgers didn’t just suddenly fall out with the board for no reason after a pretty successful season last year (cup final gaffe aside). I don’t know if he really thought they were going to lose the title but he sure as hell knew they were miles off the standard he was used to with his Celtic teams & had no chance of making a meaningful splash in Europe. Every single problem they’ve had this season was self inflicted by their board - Nancy was extremely damaging to their season but the problems go way deeper than his tenure.

Hearts, Rangers and Celtic still all have it 'in their own hands' - if any of us wins all games we take the title. How can fans of two clubs with significantly bigger budgets than us, who still mathematically have it 'in their own hands' claim we can only 'bottle it'? Embarrassing stuff. Celtic do not at this time have it in their own hands. Edited March 24 by Penrices left boot

Seems to be basically Maloney that coaches the team, and looking at his record it’s no wonder they are looking lost at times.

Indeed, as above, from the chat Saturday (pre the Arabs game for them) if they had won all games they would take it, but post that, absolutely things changed. Tight at the top, but great to be there.
BIG ECK Posted March 24 Posted March 24 At this time there is still definitely a 3 horse race to win the SPFL title. Hearts slight favourites with Rangers ready in the wings hoping to catch us and Celtic appearing to stagnate as if they were a wooden horse. Wouldn’t totally rule any team out just now but I honestly fancy our chances against both uglies over the next couple of months and especially so as we are regaining so much strength in depth to our squad again. Will need some luck as well as bottle but I have a feeling Hearts fans will have a brilliant summer this year🇱🇻

Charlie doesn't seem very intelligent. Or good with humour. The following statement, confirms this, possibly: Speaking on The Breakdown, he said: "Somebody messaged me, and I had a few wines in me, and I wrote back and said, 'you'll be eight points behind in March, don't worry about that’. "I was completely wrong. Then I worked the Edinburgh derby not long after, Hearts had scored in the last minute. It came to me and I said 'nah, in my lifetime I've not seen anyone challenge Celtic or Rangers, so there is now way they'll be anywhere near it. Basically saying I don't fancy them, I keep getting that brought up to me again." Despite his beef with the Jambos, Mulgrew admits he would prefer for McInnes and Co to lift the title because he reckons the danger is greater for Celtic if Rangers pull off Mission Impossible over the final three games. But Mulgrew couldn't resist turning the dial one more time as he got stuck into Chisholm and his energetic performance of a Hearts terrace classic. He said: "Who was that guy singing? I thought it was Jimmy Tarbuck. Is it Jimmy Tarbuck or Noel Edmonds? I thought it was Noel Edmonds, who was he? What was that? I think that is why Hearts had that start to the game. Nobody could believe that guy was on the pitch, he sapped every bit of their energy. Who was that? Do you think they got rid of him at half time? They dragged him in for the half time team talk 'explain yourself'." I mean...
