The ticking time bomb that is Scottish football inches ever closer to its inevitable conclusion

It wasn’t supposed to be like this.

We were supposed to be dead and buried, destined to flounder in mediocrity for seasons to come.

Operation stop the ten was an overwhelming success and domination was a sure-fire certainty for the Ibrox side. There was no coming back from what was surely a devastating blow to the heart of Celtic as a club.

We are not corrupt, we have never cheated, every trophy that is in our trophy cabinet was earned and won through honest, hard graft,
