Less than 6 weeks ago rangers had the advantage, they then went and lost 4 games in a row after going on a Spanish holiday and fell apart.
Hearts were leading the league all season, leading the game today against celtic 1-0 and only needed a single point and still didn’t finish the job with 5 minutes to go.
This isn’t corruption in football, it’s just a wily old manager making a limited group of celtic players keep going in the last 10-15 mins, he brings on late subs who are physical and pushes the squad to keep pressing other teams deep into extra time to force the opposition into making errors.
This isn’t a tactical genius, it’s a manager who knows how to win and knows other teams stop concentrating and don’t use their subs effectively.
Celtic didn’t win the league, Hearts and Rangers threw it away week after week after week all at the crucial final stages of the season.
