Like 10IAR, Celtic’s current title bid ends with a white flag at Tannadice

You can never say never whilst it’s still mathematically possible, but for me our Five in a Row bid crashed and burned in the sandpit of Tannadice Park yesterday afternoon. Folk will point out that we can still achieve the impossible, but can you really see this group of players winning all their seven remaining fixtures?

Martin O’Neill stated that Celtic now need to win all remaining seven games? Does anyone actually think that is possible with this team?

First things first, the home side deserved their win. Jim Goodwin’s side bullied Celtic all afternoon, and were head and shoulders above us in every single department.

The pitch was in a disgraceful state for a top flight club, but we can’t use that as an excuse as the two sets of players had to deal with the same issue. Someone clearly has made a few quid selling sand to the Arabs as was mentioned earlier on The Celtic Star. If you don’t laugh you’d cry.

The Celtic team looked out of sorts and lethargic once again as we crashed to our eighth league loss of the campaign, double the total amount of games we lost last year. Something that is a scathing reminder of how far we have lapsed in the past 12 months, since that late equaliser conceded in Munich.

As much as it pains me to say, we can’t really complain about our current predicament, as we’ve been shockingly poor this entire campaign, and simply don’t deserve to win this league. In some ways it reminds me of the infamous Covid campaign of 20/21, the season that seen our Ten in a Row dream go up in flames, which was ironically was confirmed at Tannadice after a drab 0-0 draw.

Although our fate was confirmed long before that due to a weak side, led by a manager who shouldn’t have been anywhere near the club. Neil Lennon is a legend in my eyes, but there is no way he should have been re-appointed, and that along with the board’s incompetence cost us the bragging rights of ten in a row.

Of course the Board wanted Rodgers gone back then and they really won a watch when he reckoned enough was enough after warning them that the club had to invest in quality signings to be able to compete in Europe. He knew they’d never do that so headed down to Leicester City, taking the entire blame and thus letting the Celtic Board off scot-free with a £7.5m compensation bonus banked to boot.

The board cost us dear with their sheer incompetence due to self interest, and it seems lessons haven’t been learned, as the current lot have cost us yet another title due to their gross negligence of the club.

Will lessons be learned this time? I seriously doubt it, but change is desperately required, more now than ever before.

The Celtic Fans Collective has got to step forward now and represent the Celtic supporters who can see the rapid decline in fortune and standards at  our club and want to see change as a matter of urgency.

There’s one podcast that every Celtic supporter must watch because it explains the situation at our club perfectly and it’s from a business of sport podcast with two well informed podcasters talking about the Scottish title race and the Celtic crisis of the board’s making. Have a listen below…
