That's definitely not the case, Celtic have dripped down to a more spfl level this season, if you look at the points total from the past 5 years all teams below are on similar points over that period other than Celtic who haven't got out of second gear all season

Last season Celtic were able to play a strong team week in week out with very few injuries to their star players.
This season a totally different story with many of their top players out for long periods.
They have a big squad packed with quality players the rest of the teams are on about a third of their budget and do not have that luxury.

That's my point the teams around Celtic have not got better according to the data, Celtic have had a mediocre season by there standards that's why the rest are closer, its not that the rest have got better, we win about 90 points per season Aberdeen average 74 points per season over the past 5 seasons Celtic has had 99 .92, 86,106,82 while all the other teams have been on pretty much the same points tally over that sane period so the spfl teams have stayed the same while Celtic have been less consisant, whether that's through injury suspension ect

As my point is that Celtic suffered in a similar way to their rivals.....they were weakened by injury to their top players.
They still won because they had a deeper squad pool.
Celtics lost points were shared around resulting in a meaningful race for second place this year.
15 points between winners and 4th team in SPL
25 point difference between winners and 4th in EPL.
Equates Liverpool's position as poorer to Hibs in equivalent leagues .

Armstrong is a great player, I just think Rogic is that type of player you don't appreciate how good they are till they leave. Such an intelligent player.

Looks like Celtic have tied up some really tidy business today in Rogic, rewarded with a 5 year deal

Saw that earlier that is a good bit of business getting him tied down,

It's not so much a chip that's in your shoulder, it's a sack of spuds!

Really? So you think UEFA have done wonders for club football? You think just about every league in Europe hasn't now been turned into a one horse race?

Watched the highlights of the Motherwell v Celtic Scottish Cup Final having watched the dreary dirge of the FA Cup Final - and the Scottish game was actually good - and Celtic I thought were v good. The Bears in their summer dens will need to be setting sensible expectations for next season.

The game down south have become mind numbingly boring the over the past few years, I used to watch super sundy like clockwork, recently iv not even bothered you do get some good games but they are few and far between
