Philippe Clement says there is “zero challenge” for him with regard to motivating his players sufficiently well to win Rangers a domestic Treble.
Should they accomplish that feat there will be zero tolerance among the Celtic support for the side who started the season as Treble holders and finished it trophyless.
Tolerance is an optional extra within Scottish football, mainly conspicuous by its absence on a historical basis. How embarrassing would it be for Celtic to lose everything they once had to a club who sacked their manager Michael Beale seven league games into the season and had at one point trailed Brendan Rodgers’ side by eight points in the league?
And lost the first two Old Firm games of the season to their greatest rivals into the bargain. That’s why the end to this season will be able to be described in one of two ways for Celtic.
