Of course it would be. It's that corrupt that I'm almost losing interest in it all. I'll never recognize 9* in a row as long as I live. How to win 9* in a row, the celtic way: Wait till your rivals are overtaken by crooks and put into administration to get a 10-point head start for league number 1*. Pick up 4 freebie titles while your only rivals are not even in the same league to wrap up 5* in a row. When said rivals are finally back in the same league, practice financial doping, for example spending £9 million on one player to win the Scottish league, while your rivals continue to be financially hamstrung by crooks. Thus ease the way to 8* in a row. Season 9, your rivals finally have a decent side and it's neck and neck at the halfway point of the season. Not to worry, because by this time you practically run the game in Scotland, so can handpick the referees for the remainder of the season. Thus celtic's mascot in black Kevin Clancy gets 75% of celtic's post-Christmas home league fixtures, while your rivals get on the wrong side of honest mistake after honest mistake, game after game after game, until a gap opens up at the top of the table. Top of the league but with the hallowed 9* still not secured, a global pandemic sees the season suspended in March until further notice. On day one of said suspension, screech to the media in a press conference that you should simply, in an unprecedented gesture, be given the title. Then simply make up the rules as you go along through the SPFL, which your chief executive effectively runs, to have yourselves awarded the league through unabashed administrative corruption rather than proving yourselves the best team on the park over 38 games. Voila. 9* in a row. And they are going to call this an achievement, presumably. Be clear, they have no interest in sport. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corrupt to the core. Playing Devils advocate.... In an ideal world, we play out the season, overturn the 10/13 point deficit and are crowned champions. In reality, we will almost certainly finish 2nd. So would you want celtic to claim 9IAR over the remaining season with games played whenever OR would you prefer them to forever tarnish their 2nd 9IAR legacy given the 9th SPFL title was awarded with only 75% of games played, and having only played Rangers twice? Its already a tainted 9IAR given we weren’t even in the league for 4 years. A 9th title, should it arrive without concluding the season, would be an unquestionably hollow fucking achievement would it not? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh they’ll celebrate it alright. It’s not about the sport for them. They won’t be happy until they’re being presented with the trophy before the first game of each season is played. Everyone else should simply laugh at the mention of any 9* in a row. Just when you think it can’t get any more tainted, they invent ways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
