Some of us Always Kept the Faith. Did You?

League was always a marathon and not a sprint.

I was confident Celtic would win the Marathon because the extra games Sevco have played this season, although I wasn’t expecting such a collapse from them.

I admit I was worried when they went top of the league for the 1st time in 2 years.

At that stage,
Sevco had kept 10 clean sheets in their first 12 away matches which is Championship material.
Their only exceptions was 1-0 away to Killie on the opening day and a 1-1 draw at Aberdeen.

Celtic were struggling to keep clean sheets and we knew we had to score at least 2 goals to win games.
I suppose that has always been the Celtic Way.

I did however feel that Celtic had still to hit top form and we’ve done that at the right time.

Brian,
I know you were never worried and always had faith in Brendan and his players ?.

Equally some of us could have looked very sheepish if we didn't win league.

I'm now even more confident than ever that BR will be substantially backed in upcoming transfer windows.

Like many of us I was worried about our terrible recruitment, the long term injuries to key players and the difficult transition and aftermath of one manager to another. Then we had the early cup exit and disappointing CL group because of our inconsistency.

It wasn't until key players came back and others found their form that I felt confident, even with controversial VAR decisions.
Even after the winter break our form was up and down but our results against TRIFC 2012 always reminded me that we were the better team.

I will be honest and thought once we lost the 8 point lead and they were 5 in front that it was over.
Nothing to do with Brendan as a manager but because of our very poor recruitment and the injuries we had this seas.
I'm delighted I was wrong.

I was confident most of the time because I knew even at our worse crippled with injuries we were better than Rangers2012 The Rangers2012 were too reliant on having penalties awarded to them and stonewall penalties not given against .
For some reason I was confident there would come two / three games over a short period that the referees and VAR official couldn’t rescue Sevco with their penalty cheat . That happened against Ross County and Dundee. We were always a better team, results against them last season and this proved that . We played them in Ibrox in the first Derby game with absolutely the worse possible back four we could imagine. By winning that it looked as if they couldn’t beat us in a game that mattered . We won 3 and drew 1 against them and if honest we were a bit disappointed that we hadn’t won by more each time.
