Chris Sutton does not suffer fools gladly and he took no prisoners in his Record Column this week.
The BT pundit absolutely hammered home Celtic’s advantage in the league and believes anyone who doesn’t think they deserve it is not being truthful.
Celtic are thirteen points clear and with the season unable to resume — they will become champions next week in all likelihood.
Sutton has praised Celtic and Neil Lennon for their form after the winter break — pointing out Neil Lennon’s 3-5-2 tactic switch gave them the platform to go on and rack up the points.
While the other side of Glasgow were imploding before the shut down, Chris also believes had roles been reversed, Neil Lennon would be lucky to hang onto his job where it appears his counterpart is untouchable.
Sutton wrote: Neil Lennon and Celtic haven’t been handed the title. They won it themselves on the pitch.
Anyone who argues differently on that score basically doesn’t know that much about football or is choosing to ignore the truth.
Celtic won 26 out of 30 league games. If they had been able to finish the season, the chances are they would have extended their lead to about 20 points never mind being hauled back and caught by a Rangers team who had fallen to bits.
Instead, they were blown away. They fell apart as Celtic got stronger. Anyone suggesting to the contrary is blinded by bias. Celtic were posed a question and they came up with the goods. The big players produced big performances when they were required to put the issue to bed, while their nearest challengers lost their way.
