Simply the best: McCoist believes Celtic are worthy title winners

Ally McCoist has rubbished talk of tainted titles by proclaiming Celtic as worthy champions if they take a point at Kilmarnock on Saturday.

Neil Lennon's side will win the championship for the first time in four years if they leave Rugby Park undefeated.

Currently 18 points ahead of Rangers, Celtic's chances of wrapping up the title in early April were helped by the 10 points the Ibrox side had deducted for going into administration in February.

Tribute: McCoist insists the title is not tainted

That led to accusations, most notably from Mark Hateley and Craig Burley, that Celtic's achievement had been diminished.

But while McCoist naturally regrets the rug being pulled from under his men by virtue of the statutory SPL penalty being applied, he believes it would be churlish to argue with the overall composition of the league table.

'I think in everybody's eyes they should be seen as worthy champions if they get a point tomorrow,' he said.

'We've always said that the best team - 99 times out of 100 (this will be the one then :rolleyes:) - will win the championship. That's what normally happens.

'Anybody can win a cup and history has proven that. Generally speaking, the best team wins the league and I certainly don't think for a minute that Celtic will be anything other than worthy champions if, and when, they win it. There's a lot of ifs and buts in the 10-point penalty. Absolutely. But take nothing away from Celtic in the slightest.

'I would have liked us not to have lost the 10 points but there's no use in looking back now.

Two-horse race: Celtic will win the title this year

'If Celtic get their point, they will be thoroughly deserving champions.'

Ibrox skipper Steven Davis echoed McCoist's sentiments in saluting the achievements of Neil Lennon's men but feels his side weren't given a fighting chance from the minute a four-point deficit became 14.

'Celtic have gone on to win the title and I can't take anything away from them,' he said.

'It is hard to win any league, but I am sure they got a massive boost through what happened to us. If it was the other way round, we'd have received a huge boost.

'It was a hammer blow to us to get that (10-point penalty) and we had a bad run of results after we went into administration.

Heading for victory: Celtic are one point away from the title

'It would have been good to see how it would have gone had the gap stayed at four points back then. There would have been more pressure on them to get results, as well as ourselves.

'Celtic went on a great run and there is no taking away from that, but we were just four points behind when we went into administration.

'Losing the 10 points was a big blow and then you know about everything that was going on.

'We lost games that I don't think we would have lost had we not been put in that position.'

I would not give Lennon one ounce of credit, when those cunts, and they are the biggest cunts around, eventually win their Tainted Title, Yellow Teeth will have a go at our club, he just cannot help himself.

Liewell will be sitting with that smug (I like preteen boys) look on his 7 chins, SFA - Mission Accomplished.

This year will be remembered as the year rangers went into administration not the year Lennon won his first title and he can't bear the sight of that little asterisk beside rangers name on the league table. Everyone knows its tainted.

Oh, there is a cunt at question.

But it certainly isn't Super Ally.

Whoevers top at the end of the season deserves to win the league. We had many, many hurdles to overcome this year, but we were 15 points clear at one point. Our own sloppyness let Celtic back in with a chance well before admin. This seasons a right off, let them have this season and come back fighting next season.

If Celtic were docked points next season, I sure wouldn't be stopping the party and saying look use would have won the league.

No surrender

While I don't really like the term tainted this time round as it implies that they have done something underhand to win (it certainly applied in 2008), the fact that it is massively devalued is simply unarguable.

They know this and that's why they keep going on about how it it isn't

We were never actually 15 points clear as the dirt had a couple of games in hand. If you think back we dropped 5 points in november and 6 in december and we had several good goals not given and very ropey officiating in general to contend with and that doesnt even take into account the results the beggars were getting. 9 points clear and 3 games we were robbed by refs, they are not worthy to borrow our trophy!

SPL is a 2 horse race

Take one horse out the running and its no longer a race/competition.

They will get the title imo but they havent won it. And as for their manager...........he's a first class baw bag and no manager.

So end of season headline should read "baw bag given SPL title"

Temporary caretakers of a tainted title in a season that will not be remembered for anything those mugs done. Except maybe bottle it against Killie.

(question - when before that was the last time an Old Firm team got to a domestic final against a non-OF team and lost? Us vs Hearts in '98?)

For the first time in history, the title ended on the fourteenth of February. Tainted and of no value. And one more stain on their very tainted history.

There wil be an asterisk next to the title listings for season 2011/2012. No one will forget.

Just ask Marseille supporters about their CL 'win'.

It'll have to compete with the '07-'08 title for the accolade of 'most tainted title'. This one probably sneaks it though.
