What will it take for someone to win the league other than Celtic?
And could Hibs ever be that team?!?
Just had a look at the league table and Celtic were only nine points above Aberdeen and fifteen above us.
While Celtic were never in danger, they’ve not performed as well as they had in other seasons.
It’s going to be hard for other clubs to compete withrh Celtic on a regular basis due to their resources, but if Celtic aren’t firing on all cylinders, then can a team close the gap?
I suppose for real competition the team in question is going to have to be ‘the best of the rest.’ It’s been tight amoungst Killie, Hibs, Rangers and Aberdeen to establish fourth to second this season. If there was a team to emerge as challengers then they’ll clearly need to escape from the chasing pack.
You never know what’s going to happen with Gerrard at Rangers. Aberdeen have done well in the split but not had it all their own way and Killie will do well to keep ahold of Clarke and recapture this seasons form.
I know we’re going to be rebuilding and it seemed that Lennon would be leaving recently, but with the crowds back, a great stadium, brilliantly facilities, a young squad who’ve just won the double, can we be the team to break free from the chasing pack and challenge Celtic?
Cost nothing to dream!

Bizarrely, it means that Brexit might create the opportunity for just such a thing. We would no longer be bound by EU 'restriction of trade' deals and could introduce a salary cap but we would be shafted by massively-hiked flight prices when we went to watch the Hibs in Europe :greengrin
There are no EU restrictions in the way. Rugby league and rugby union both operate salary caps in the UK just now.
It’s only our lack of imagination that stops us.
