There’s a proper sinking feeling about the place. You turn on the radio, a bit of Eagles comes on and suddenly you’re thinking about what might have been. That one dropped point at Motherwell has a way of haunting you — it could have shifted momentum, steadied nerves and changed the run that followed.


Where the regret comes from

It’s not just results on paper. It’s the missed angles, the lost calm, the games where we didn’t quite show the temperament you expect from a title-chasing side. You can point at individual performances if you like, but truth is the whole unit looks off the boil right now. Even the manager seems affected — not blame for the sake of it, just an observation that there’s a weary look about the place.


One last chance to settle the nerves

And yet, football gives you these moments. The lads have an opportunity to make themselves proper legends. That’s not hyperbole — win the big ones and everything changes. It’s on them to show fight, to dig in, to make up for the sloppy bits earlier in the season. We’ll know pretty quick if they’ve got that bite left in them.


The bigger picture and why it matters

All of this isn’t just about a trophy this season. If Celtic get across the line and then into Europe, the financial gap only widens. We all know how that can set a club back. So these next results feel weighty for more than just pride — they shape the next few years too. It’s a bit bleak to think about, but it’s the reality.

For now, I’ve no huge praise to hand out. But I’ll be watching with everyone else, hoping they remember who they’re playing for and what’s at stake. Fingers crossed they’ve still got fight left.
