congrats bUmble, great achievement, winning three in a row when you have a 50% chance of winning the title.

Rangers got done by one hell of a congested fixture list in the last month

I found it pretty exciting that one year when I thought Celtic would win, but then Rangers won. But the next three years Celtic won anyway, lol.

You're all morons. Nobody could call the run-in to the last day of the season boring. Nakamura's screamer in the derby, losing at Motherwell and thinking it was all over, blowing out to 20-1 to win the league at the TAB and then somehow getting it all together and winning.

But yeah, I love how every time a Celtic thread pops up you knobs have the same dross garbage to pull out. Tell me how many teams have a realistic chance of winning the English Premiership? Three at best. Germany? All Bayern baby. Holland? Ajax or PSV. France? Lyon and then daylight. Spain? Madrid and Barca had shocking seasons and still nobody got near them. Italy? Inter dominate again.

You seeing a pattern yet you spastics?

You're right in a sense I s'pose, Villarreal, ten points clear, really weren't anywhere near Barcelona.

Typed it wrong but you know what I meant

The point is it was one of the most exciting title finishes in years, who gives a sh*t if it's a two horse race, it was a damn good one.

Only the Scottish league is so boringly predictable. In fact, apart from 4 seasons (Aberdeen 3, Dundee United 1) no team bar Celtic or Rangers has won the SPL since 1965.

Why did you choose 1986 as your cut-off point? How about the last 10 years? In which case the list becomes:

England - 3

Spain and Germany - 4

Italy - 5

In leagues where the number of teams is almost double that of the SPL. Bravo, numbnuts.

I noticed that none of you could actually explain why it's boring, just because the same teams win all the time. The title still came down to the last day of the season but I guess that means nothing to you..

Plastic drones.

Because 1985 is the last time a team other than Celtic or Rangers won the SPL. I originally picked it to show how long the Scottish league has been a coin toss.

In leagues where the number of teams is almost double that of the SPL. Bravo, numbnuts.

What does the number of teams have to do with how many have won it? The A League only has 8 teams, and they've already had 1 more winner than the SPL in the last 20 years.
