Celtic’s post split fixtures were announced this morning with it looking likely Ange Postecoglou’s men could win the title at Tynecastle at Hearts.
This is a disappointment for most fans, though, due to the fact it is on a Sunday at 2.15pm and the fact only 1400 Celtic fans will be allowed into the stadium.
Chris Sutton has also carried on with this narrative that the post split fixtures have not worked out in the Hoops’ favour, telling the Daily Record:
“It is what it is, and the games had to be put in some particular order. But it does seem like they don’t want Celtic fans celebrating winning a title.
“They’ll do that anyway, whether they are at home or in the pubs in Glasgow.
“Celtic have got five games left and it’s just about getting over the line – and they’ll celebrate anyway.”
It is a shame that the majority of Celtic fans won’t be in the stadium to see their team win the league.
They will get to adorn their heroes in the third game back after the split at Parkhead against St. Mirren and by that point, Postecoglou’s men will likely be champions.
Sutton said:
“It’s a bit of a shame. St Mirren is the third game after the split so they could celebrate with their own fans then, that would be my focus as a player.
“From a fans’ perspective, there would be an element of disappointment they won’t get the opportunity to play against an Aberdeen or St Mirren at home after the split. But I don’t think it’s any great surprise the way the fixtures have come out.”
All in all, most people involved with Celtic have been left annoyed with the way things have panned out post split, including Ange Postecoglou.
Nevertheless, the Bhoys will look to get the business done on the park and secure the title as soon as possible and then celebrate with their fans in the weeks following.
