Michael Gannon’s piece in the Daily Record today is pretty abysmal.

It begins with a contention that every Celtic fan should challenge aggressively, and it contains at least one claim so absurd it sounds like something that would have come out of the mouth of McCoist or some other assorted clown.

Gannon writes about the near impossibility of the task facing Celtic.

Except that it is not nearly impossible at all. It is a fairly straightforward task.

Win six out of six and you are champions. There is nothing complicated about that. There is no reason to believe it cannot be done, except that this is a poor Celtic side.

But, this is not a Celtic team going up against world-beating rivals.

All three title contenders are pretty poor. There is no more reason to believe one of them will win it than there is to believe we will.

Anything can happen here, and points will be dropped all over the place.

One of the stupider claims in the article is about goal difference. Gannon says it’s worth an extra point. This is such a daft argument. Goal difference only matters when two sides finish on the same points....
