3 Celtic stars lead Player of the Year race and trio could hammer final nail in Philippe Clement's coffin - Saturday Jury

ANDY NEWPORT: It’s looking increasingly like it. Some fans were willing to cut him some slack after his team’s recent upturn. But others have already made their minds up. If he goes seven games without success against Celtic, there will be no convincing the big Belgian’s detractors.
