Now if Queen of the South can just add to the misery, it'll be a perfect season!
I disagree. Celtic won the league because they were the better team. Rangers only won one away game against any of the top 6 - that's 10 games and it's just not good enough form to win the league.

The fixtures certainly didn't help Rangers, but the only reason they had so many to play late in the season was because they played hardly any in, for example, December, when Celtic were busy dropping points left right and centre in the terrible weather and on lousy pitches.

It's been a cracking 2 weeks of football for me. Justice was done in both the UEFA and CL finals, and Celtic staged a brilliant fightback when most people (me included) thought we were dead and buried.
