Clyde Superscoreboard pundit and former Celtic player has applied common sense to the situation when it comes to the season reaching a conclusion.

The player turned manager and pundit believes the point-scoring nature of Glasgow means the Ibrox club would always try and discredit Celtic’s title BUT it doesn’t matter because if the season has to end prematurely, Celtic have done the business on the field when it matters.

So much is being made of eight unplayed games when 30 have already been played with points won and lost.

The Rangers blew it big time at the start of 2020 and had the league been much closer their calls for nobody to be crowned champions would be more credible. As it stands, they know they lost the league and they’re now just trying to stop Celtic getting their hands on the title, weaponising world events.

Mark Wilson made the assertion that anybody who knows football, knows this is Celtic’s title. Maybe he could explain that to his wee pall Alex Rae who is currently on a one man mission to keep Celtic from nine in a row.

Wilson spoke about the current situation to SunSport:

In Glasgow, the old points scoring business means it will always be viewed with some sort of line after it, saying it wasn’t complete. I think anybody who knows anything about football would see that it is Celtic’s title. The way the west of Scotland is, yes I do think Rangers fans will always say, ‘you won it but you only played 30 games’. That’s unavoidable. But these are uncertain times and nobody, even Celtic, Neil Lennon and the players, would want to cut a season short. They would want to play the games. However, teams like Rangers and whoever else is second in the league, they’ve had all season to do it. It’s not just going to happen because there’s eight games left. This is why I think it’s important the authorities do make a decision and make it swiftly.

Whoever makes it has to be firm… ‘this is it, it’s unprecedented times that will never be seen again, we need to make strong decisions’. You can’t just wipe out 30 games of effort and creativity and great results. You can’t just say they don’t count. As long as everybody has played those amount of games, I think you should be judged on that. Whoever is top on 30 games, yes they should be crowned champions. Of course there will be an asterisk next to the season because it’s been played over 30 games. Whoever is on top over 30 games, as long as it’s an equal run, it’s different if Rangers had five games in hand and could still catch them, I still believe Celtic have been the outstanding team and deserve to win the league.
