Old Firm Fans Cheer Celtic To League Title

There is no more beautiful a sight than the SPL Flag back home where it belongs, fluttering in the wind atop Paradise. The Flag is coming home either tomorrow, if a rudderless Hertz, are beaten by a defenceless Celtic, or shortly thereafter.

No matter, tomorrow's game is where all the Old Firm fans will unite to cheer on the Hooped Heroes to their destiny as we'll hump Hertz and the cheer from every OF fans the length of Scotland will be heard for those who listen and those who don't.

It was Celtic Legend Chris Sutton who said Rangers only "won" their two League titles by a goal and a point. Never have truer words been spoken by a wonderful servant to Celtic, a player who will never be forgotten by those who appreciate him, much to the contempt of those who struggle to understand what it's all about.

On the back of Sutton's words, Celtic's triumph tomorrow should be 6IAR. Celtic's domination of the new century is the benchmark which will only be achieved by the next Celtic team.

So onto the Manager of the Year award. Who are these people who think Strachan, after giving Celtic the two most humiliating defeats of their European and Scottish Cup campaigns, ever, would demand he be named for this fine award?

Why would you reward incompetence, failure, stubborness, and pigheadedness with an award? What's up with that?

No, if Strachan could learn a thing or two about Cup competitions, it isn't getting slapped silly by Hibs 0-3 at home, twice (albeit once in the League), but about how you play on the European stage.

As Sutton has highlighted Celtic's position of supreme greatness in the League, so Europe has shown that Big Eck is the Greatest Scottish Manager since Jim McLean in his European successes this season.

For that, there can be no other worthy winner of Manager of the Year than McLeash. He should get the award and can leave Ibrox with his head held high, his dignity intact, knowing Rangers owe him thanks for the infamous seven trophies he got against all the odds, with help from various intemediaries such as FCM strikers, dodgy referees, and missed penalties, but we won't mention those.

One wonders what Paul Le Guen has that Big Eck hasn't? There are already questionmarks over the appointment of the Frenchman who hasn't exactly made it in one of the major leagues of Europe.

He's no Martin O'Neill for sure. He's probably not even in the Gordon Strachan class...and that's saying a lot.
