It's not over... Celtic 8 points clear now, admittedly Rangers have 4 games in hand, but 4 of their last 6 are away

COME ON THE HOOPS!

and going by recent weeks, at least 5 of them are probably against Celtic

I'm not quite sure how that would work

I thought there was one more at Parkhead, but checking the fixtures, there isn't.

What a fecked up excuse of a league.

How can one team have four games in hand at this stage?

and why have all the Celtic vs Rangers fixtures been put within a few weeks of each other?

Scholesy · 3rd May 2008, 17:17

Now theres a title race

Rangers have four games in hand for a few reasons. We played today, they play tomorrow. There was a run of really bad weather in March; a couple of cup replays; the SFAs stupid decision to postpone the entire league programme the weekend before the Scotland v Italy game; Rangers decision to cancel a game against Gretna to give them time to prepare for their CL game against Lyon; and ultimately their UEFA Cup run giving them no free midweeks.

The Glasgow derbies were bunched together because the New Year game was postponed following the death of Phil O Donell. But yes, it is a shit league, tbh.

Anyway. Rangers need to win 5 of their last 6 games. Including the UEFA final, they have 7 games in the next 18 days. I think Celtic have a wee chance still.

Sarni · 3rd May 2008, 18:22

What's the point of making them play 38 games a season though? It's not like Scotland have teams good enough for that, nor it is possible that out of any 3 games Gretna or some other team will play against either Rangers or Celtic will have any bearing on title.

That's no excuse. This is Scotland we're talking about; there's a run of really bad weather during every month.

and since when did teams get to just decide they're going to cancel one of their league games?

Brad · 3rd May 2008, 19:24

Scottish football. Now there's an oxymoron

It's like that in Portugal and France too...

Raven_Blade · 3rd May 2008, 20:37

Celtic won last year so I want Rangers to win this year.

klebersomeone · 3rd May 2008, 22:28

I'd sooner have the points in the bag. If Celtic win their remaining league games I think they will win it as Rangers have too many games in that short period, they're bound to fuck up.
I couldn't give a fuck mind..

Well they might have to come to the fortress pitodrie to win the title & we would love nothing less than them losing it at our ground.

I must admit though i'm unlike most dons supporters & would prefer Rangers to win the quad.
I really dislike Strachan & his arrogance, any person that's a Leeds legend doesn't deserve any respect.
For all the Celtic fans, what do you think about Strachan?

He was perhaps the best player that I ever saw in an Aberdeen shirt. Does that not count for anything with you?

They have a strange league system that's for sure.

Anna_Livia · 4th May 2008, 17:49

Huns drop points at Hibs. 8 points ahead, and Rangers have 3 in hand.

Mon the hoops!

not quite sure what you mean...

gretna almost took ppoints off celtic, they were beating them 1-0 with a few mins to go, although celtic got 2 late goals! Theres a few good teams in the spl , hibs, who have beat both old firm and drew today with rangers.... dundee united , have beat rangers and should have beat them a couple more times! Aberdeen had a good run in the uefa and beat celtic in the league i think , also put them out the scottish cup. Motherwell have beat celtic recently ... the league has split into 2 now so gretna or any other bottom 6 sides have no bearing on the title... the games left in the top half are quite competative as the 3rd, 4th, 5th , and even 6th sides are all in with a chance of a uefa spot . Far more interesting than which one of the old filth wins the league anyway!

Wes · 4th May 2008, 18:10

Hibs, you can always rely on them to hold the huns. Love 'em.

Kelvin · 4th May 2008, 18:20

Rangers still 7 points behind but with 3 games in hand.

You obviously know fuck all about your club! Strachan is an Aberdeen legend!
