Celtic’s champagne is on ice until next weekend after the most bizarre events at Ibrox which saw the home side land two penalties to ensure Celtic did not win the league on Sunday.
The Ibrox club landed their 13th and 14th penalty of the SPFL season (doesn’t include cup competitions) to make sure Aberdeen left with nothing.
Scottish football has never seen the likes.
Aberdeen and The Rangers we’re both pretty poor on the day, and it must have rubbed off on the referee who failed to send off Jermain Defoe for assaulting the Aberdeen goalkeeper. The striker ran towards the goalkeeper after he had picked the ball out of the air and cracked him twice on the way down – nothing was given.
The referee had no such problem giving two penalties to The Rangers with the first one soft at best and the other laughable.
Celtic now go into May bank holiday weekend knowing a point at Pittodrie will be enough for a title party on Saturday afternoon.
If we want to make sure we wrap it up on the day, may we suggest pulling on some blue jerseys for the occasion?
Scottish football has been reacting to the latest penalty gate.
