People are forgetting we don't have to beatt celtic in games against them to be top of the league. We need to consistently beat the 10 other diddy teams, the teams we absolutely dwarf in terms of support, wage bill, transfer fees, stadium size, commercial revenue, match day revenue, etc, etc.
There's actually little excuse for not consistently, or at least more consistently, beating them and picking up points. A semi-competent manager and some sensible transfers in and out, is all it would take. Sick of listening to excuses for Gerrard and the utterly average players he's signed or loaned. Hamilton, Livingstone, St Mirren, Dundee, Kilmarnock ,etc are barely better than amateur sides. With the money we've spent we should be picking up 3 points far more regularly than we are. Incompetence throughout the club, from boardroom to dugout to pitch is the reason we are not.
