Celtic fans, we asked for your views on Wednesday night’s dramatic late win at Motherwell that set up a title decider at home to Hearts on Saturday.
Here’s what some of you said:
Albert: What an end for the Scottish Premiership, the title race down to the wire in Glasgow on Saturday after Celtic’s resilience v Motherwell. Celtic players must be congratulated for their never-say-die attitude to win the game in the final seconds.
John: My favourite saying this season has been “grinding out results” every week. Yet again this was heart-stopping stuff. But here we are, last game and in our own hands. Just one more grind required. I said previously this would be the best-ever league win if we can do it on Saturday. If they play like they did against Rangers I think we will win the league.
Joe: The ball can hit a head and a hand at the same time. Even if the ball only brushed a fingertip, it is still a handball. Rules are rules. Last I checked elbows to the head are also against the rules. Whether its a dead rubber or a title deciding game. The rules don’t change.
Rupert: It feels destined. Every single VAR decision seems to be landing our way, and that’s the kind of luck you need to win a title. It’s our league now – we are inevitable.
Mike: Many Celtic players too often not good enough. Very frustrating. Motherwell by contrast, playing with intelligence and guile – with players that cost a fraction of ours. Thought Martin O’Neill’s subs were poor. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain should have been deployed in a midfield that was crying out for quality.
Ian: I can’t believe we’ve got the chance to win it all at Celtic Park. It’s been the season from hell but it could end with Martin O’Neill’s finest moment. If we can win on Saturday, it’ll be a season like no other.
Bob: The chips are down for Celtic. It’s winner takes all on Saturday. Daizen Maeda, Benjamin Nygren, Hyun-jun Yang and James Forrest must all start. Negative Brendan-ball tactics are a guaranteed loser. Whatever happens, it’s the end of an era for this team. A complete rebuild is required and the new manager has his work cut out.
