Not sure about that, season wise anyway.
I think Celtic made that title a lot harder than it should hsve been. 7 or 8 pts up at a stage and they let that slip instead of driving it home. That Rangers team is a poor outfit in my opinion. They'll have a massive clear out this summer.
About Scales, he's very average. Against better opposition, he's not great. He's a grafter and has improved. CCV's form has dipped, whether that's through injury or whatever.
The key thing for the board now is to invest - buy 4 or 5 quality players e.g. keeper, centre-back and left back etc. Spend decent money on them and get quality in.
In the Champion's League again with that money guaranteed plus good chance O'Riley will go for big money in the summer. If J. Fringpong moves on, Celtic are due a big cut of that transfer fee. All said, Celtic should have £100m in the bank.
Up to the muppets in the board now to invest wisely for the next 3 years and build a platform. Buying 'project players' like O'Riley is all well and good...if it works but they've bought too many 'project players' who are sitting in the reserves on decent wages. On that, it's time to clear the duds out and tidy up the wage bill. Move them on. Quality over quantity.
Surely they should be doing their transfer business now - a good scout should have their homework done on target positions via video anlysis and profiles etc. Get the players in as early as possible.
Scottish Cup is the next thing up. Need to win that also.
I was being sarcastic however, had Hatate and CCV been fit all year it would not have been as close as it was
