Decrying remarkable Celtic is just nonsensical but there are 2 points I won't deny – Chris Sutton

Celtic can put the final seal on their title charge at Tannadice.

I’ve got to say, some of the comments leading into their potentially-clinching contest against Dundee United and some feelings attached to their imminent success has been, quite frankly, ludicrous.

Brendan Rodgers and his players have been excellent for the majority of the season and any bid to decry or undermine their work is just nonsensical.

The run-in has been dull. It has lacked excitement and intrigue and I’m not going to pretend the lack of nerve-shredding games and edge-of-the-seat drama hasn’t been a disappointment.

But no fingers of blame for that can be pointed towards the Celtic players and management who are about to complete their mission.

Winning any title is a huge achievement and, while Rangers failed to make a proper battle of it, Rodgers’ team have been outstanding.

I have nothing but admiration for the relentless nature of this current Celtic squad.

It’s easy to say that it is simple for them and their success is to be expected because Rodgers has the best players because the club has the most money.

I don’t deny those two points are emphatically true, but it takes more than that to do it in the comfortable manner they have.

To really make those advantages count, it takes a mindset, a work-ethic, a mentality and an ability to raise your game in the way that Rodgers’ team has done.

It has been shown in the past couple of months when the pressure has been diluted that a downturn in those levels can be costly. Defeats to Rangers at home and in away matches to Hibs and St Johnstone were examples of Celtic not being at it and slow to start the games.

Whether it is subconscious or not, drop offs will be punished in terms of result on the day
