We are through the looking glass now folks.

We have an ex-player who took under the counter illegal bungs along with the rest of his teammates to win titles in Scotland telling us that there would be an asterisk next to our title if the league was to be called eight games shy of the finish.

EBT recipient Alex Rae will tell anybody who wants to listen (which isn’t many) that due to a worldwide and deadly crisis, Celtic’s title would not mean as much. The former player showing a lack of class and sportsmanship in his opinion.

We all know what side of the fence Alex would be on if The Rangers were thirteen points clear at the top – his comments come out of hate for Celtic and fear of the ten.

They can’t stop it on the pitch but to discredit it off the pitch makes them feel better.

For me, it’s simple, every title that The Rangers won during the EBT years is tainted and as an asterisk next to it. However, does Alex or any of the Ibrox support bother with that assertion? Not one jot.

Before this shutdown came into play we were already hearing the usual suspects trying to discredit our nine in a row because of their club had to cease trading back in 2012 – again, no fault of Celtic’s. It’s all rather pathetic.

Rangers football club died overspending to keep up with Celtic, their whole club has an asterisk attached to it. Flippantly starting again and pretending that nothing happened, stiffing hundred of creditors is just par for the course for Alex and his club.

The sort of gymnastics one must do in their head to continue an anti-Celtic narrative while the Ibrox club put satirists out of business is quite impressive.

So Alex, if it makes you feel better, get your crayon out and draw an asterisk. Ten in a row will probably end you, but if it’s any consolation, celebrating the ten will probably end me.

Here we go ten in a row!
