Jittery Celtic caller gets title fear as he pleads with partying punters 'for God's sake calm doon' - Hotline

Celtic are so close to the Premiership trophy they can almost smell the Brasso.

But the punters ringing up the Hotline want to see their side polish off the rest of this season’s six remaining fixtures quick sharp so they can avoid a repeat of painful slip-ups of old.

Ange Postecoglou’s men are six clear with six to play but Stefan Lomako, Whithorn , warned: “Rangers and Celtic have both blown titles after being almost over the line. Rangers blew their shot at 10 in a row with a loss to Killie back in 1998, allowing Celtic back in, and we’ve blown the title more than once.

“I'm confident we will see the Bhoys completely focused in the next few weeks because complacency can have a very cruel effect.”

And Duncan Morrison, Woking, is worried some fans are getting carried away, saying: “I’m no pessimist, but for God’s sake Celtic fans, calm doon. The last thing I want is another Helicopter Sunday which was horrible. Rangers fans have understandably given up the title but do we want ridiculed if it goes pear shaped? I'll wait till it's mathematically possible to celebrate, until then there's still a few matches to be played.”
