    We are two points ahead of the Huns with the same number of games played, and we have a superior goal difference of nine goals. Nine games to go, and all we need is a draw at Ibrox now

    Can we do it, and what should be our strategy now until the end of the season ?

    Of course we can!! They're loss today is massive IMO. Could decide the league, who knows? But theres still a long long way to go. I think the title will be more or less decided at Mordor, a game which i am not looking forward too. Whether it comes home to Paradise or not this season i know that i still wont be able to get enough of do do do do!
    Mon the Hoops, lets do the double :shamrock: We are all Neil Lennon!

    Can Celtic win the League, is a bit of a daft question is it no? Clearly we can.

    Will
    Celtic win the League would probably be a better question. My answer to that is.....unsure.

    easier said then done with my strategy but I think we should show teams a lack of respect and go out to destroy teams.

    think we should overload teams with attacking flow of play we are capable of

    Yes we can and yes we will is my honest assesment, my reason for this is a long line of reasons.

    • We are a superior football team
    • We have a better goal difference
    • We have a bigger squad
    • Lennon will inspire more motivation and fight then any other manager in the league for the remaining games
    • We have two very winnable home games coming up whilst they have two tricky away games at St Johnstone and Hamilton I believe?
    We can't get carried away and we can't get sloppy, today should make us even more determined to get 3 points over Hibs on Wednesday.

    I do think we need to drop Sammy and start with Stokes and Hooper for the remaining games, maybe play him against them at Ibrox again but for the other spl games I think Stokes and Hooper MUST start together.

    I still think Paddy McCourt will have a huge part to play in the games as an impact sub.

    C'mon the Hoops!!! :shamrock:

    I felt before todays game that there will be points dropped before the end of the season, from us and them. It will be a case of who blinks first.

    First we need to get playing better again, even before the Cup Final we werent on form. If we do I believe the huns will struggle the further the season goes on. I dont think that Bougherra will play again, I just think he wants away and doesnt want to get injured. That and the "threadbare" squad will get thinner and thinner as the weeks go on.

    Hopefully

    Another loss and the hun will crumble. They do not have the squad for the run in as the injuries from a long season take their toll.

    Can we win the title, yes

    Our strategy is quite simple, approach each game with the right attitude and give 100%, we have the talent and ability within our squad, if the players apply themselves in the correct manner then we can seal the deal :shamrock:

    The pedulum of fate has swung back in our favour and their injuries are finally starting to have the effect on the team that I thought way back at the start of the season.

    We are not there yet. With the correct attitude in every game from now until the end of the season then the title will be ours.:celt_2:

    as long as most of our players play like they have been we should see it out easy.but when you think back to motherwell then the final we are from certs.on the other hand apart from they 2 blips we have looked more than capable of winning every game.

    bookies have us odd-on favourites (4/9) to win the league..

    That would suggest we have more chance of winning the league than the huns do..

    Should really boil down to if we have the bottle , that's as long as we get an even playing field..
    If we find ourselves 1-0 down to blatantly off-side goals like we did at Hamilton in any tight pitch away grounds then we mind find it a bit tougher.. very optimistic though..

    of course we will win it, the threadbears will lose more players over the next few wks, jelavic can only play 2 games in a row then hes out again, that * must think he works offshore 2 wks on 2 wks off haha.

    I think it's important that we don't get lured into a false sense of security because of todays result, no matter what happens to them we still have to go out and win our games that has to be the main focus :50:

    Having a drink tonight to celebrate it too.

    But ICT are a hard nut to crack, I would have felt more certain if we'd played & beat them today.

    I think"The Prof" is right here.

    Still, a wonderful day. If St Johnstone beat them I'll be laughing my * off and beleiving we've won.

    Its only ours to lose

    we just have to focus on each game. There is no reason to change tactics we have done well this far. Just keep it up

    It will be funny looking at the Talk Celtic board over the next few days on the run up to the Hibs game as I think we will all go through a trepidation and anxiety until this game is out of the way. This will be the our first game since the defeat to the "Evil from Edmiston drive"and all i hope is that we dont take too much from this defeat of them from Dundee Utd. This league has a fair bit to go yet and I think we need to keep calm and proffessional killing teams off and playing to our strengths using width with izaguirre and commons I definately think we need experience in the midfield in the run in and i have a funny feeling with the noises coming out of Celtic Park recently that we might see Lundberg playing more I think he has been getting worked hard in training to ensure he is 100% think the overall depth of the squad can make a difference. I just want the team to be positive in application, aggressive and proffessional I think if we play to our best we can win this league. We need to win the game at ibrox to hammer the league win home.
