Not too much leeway for further mistakes mind you.
It is also a few short weeks away from an open window so will be interesting to see the response. I think Celtic probably have more means to make changes.
Rangers will fall away again. Celtic have got a very favourable December and January, while Rangers have some tricky away games in there. I think Celtic will hit a run and have still got the better squad out of the two.
I don't really care which of the uglies win the league, but if Celtic do manage to reduce the gap to 5 points with their games in hand then the league's far from over.
Im hearing a big fall out between NL and Brown. Other players getting involved, bad result on thursday could be the end of NL.

I don't see it, I think they're too far gone. Rangers are rampant and Celtic are in total disarray and playing under a manager who has previous for - for want of a better phrase - chucking it when the going gets tough.Quote:

Seems like no dip in form can ever be without an associated bust up or meltdown these days.Quote:

We've not seen them deal with a defeat yet. Celtc always seem to get stronger as the season progresses and have form for coming from behind recently too. If celtc empty Lennon they will struggle more than if they stick with him imho
I don't know where the Rangers collapse is coming from this season, they've got the measure of Celtic in the derbies and are pretty rampant in the league at the moment. Don't think they've conceded at home yet. If I cared and was a betting man, my money would be going on Rangers for the league this season. I can't see Celtic catching them unless they ditch Lennon and spend big in January.
Binning Lennon would instantly improve them almost regardless of who they bring in - although Strachan would be another awful choice on the back of NL. They are absolutely shocking just now given how far ahead of everyone they are budget wise.Quote:

I honestly think Rangers will win it by 10+ Especially if Lennon is still in post at the turn of the year.
Yup. Whether they’ve collapsed in previous seasons or not they’re a different animal now. A +38 goal difference and 11 points clear after 15 games. There’s no sign of a collapse and their squad looks pretty strong now, something which maybe wasn’t the case previously.Quote:

In all honesty I look at the two teams just now and it's not a case of if Rangers can win this years title, but it's how many years in a row they can win if they keep a hold of their current squad. They for the first time in at least a decade look like a proper team with a decent manager.Quote:

Celtic will need to appoint a very good manager and splash a good bit of cash to close the gap imo.
Agree with that. Lennon is the off field equivalent of a man short when thing are not going well. He has started pointing fingers and telling players they are lazy on camera etc. Meltdown approaching and he will end up losing the dressing room as he is incapable of shouldering any blame or responsibility. I suspect Celtc would improve regardless of who was brought in but they need to act quickly and also spend big as they are unlikely to ever get another shot of 10 in a row.Quote:

Also The Rangers have announced massive losses and need something like £20m to the end of the season. If anyone really does offer big money for one of their players they will be mighty tempted.
Every season we hear the same thing about The Rangers needing astronomical sums of money to see out the season. It never happens.Quote:

Yeah, indeed. Rangers aren't going bust again. No chance.Quote:

The season before that Celtc romped it, huns were comfortably in 2nd place in December and ended up in 3rd behind Aberdeen by 9 points, thats a 16 point turn around from December. Now I know they have the best team they have had since they died in 2012 but they also have the same problem they do every year, they have spent their money in the summer and have just released their accounts showing a £16mil loss, Celtc will spend in January and the huns won't. Like you I am not bothered who wins the league out of the two of them, I am just making my judgement on this with previous seasons evidence.Quote:
