Am I right in saying this is all being engineered so that Celtic can't win the league against Rangers? Celtic only need one more win so there's no chance their first league game will be against Rangers.
Would be quite funny if despite the SFA's diligent planning, the Old Firm game was scheduled for the the third round of fixtures and Celtic lost or dropped points in their opening two games.
I know they are obviously trying to avoid a repeat of 1999 but I'm pretty sure the scenarios are totally different from back then. If memory serves me correctly Celtic were a lot closer to Rangers in '99 and had a relatively decent chance of catching them, so it was a real title decider. Unlike this year when it's a "when" not "if" scenario.
