The lead up to Celtic v Aberdeen, 1 March

[afc_1983]

The current state of play has Aberdeen 2 points clear but having played 2 games more.

I've said on here consistently for a few years now that really, you can only say you're in a title race if you're in touch with 10-12 games to go.

This season, the Celtic v Aberdeen game so happens to fall at about that stage of the season.

Aberdeen have the harder run up in the league up until that fixture on 1 March, but Celtic have a couple of European games to play during the period and have all the paraphernalia that goes with a Celtic/Rangers game to contend with too, although Aberdeen also have a semi final to deal with.

St Johnstone away, Ross County home, Hamilton away, St Mirren home for Aberdeen in the league.

Motherwell home, Ross County away, St Johnstone away, Hamilton home.

For me, Aberdeen need to match the results Celtic get in these games, or at worst not drop any more than 2 points more than Celtic do.

In reality I suspect that means we'll need to win all 4 games, as the only

Maybe the fact Celtic have to play Inter will help us.

I wouldnt be looking too far ahead for either team, its all about the next game.

for us its Motherwell on Wednesday night, win that and we go top and then its up to Aberdeen to win on Friday night.

cant look to far ahead, aberdeens result on saturday was a surprise, but celtic shouldnt really be in a title race with anyone, not being direspectful, we have the recources to be further ahead than we would be if we win our games in hand.

looking forward to the aberdeen game, hopefully celtic do better than they have done in recent seasons in pressure games.

Aeberdeen will huv dropped their bottle by then. :/

[Sir_Walter_Timslayer]

Celtic will be about 8 points clear by then :/


But it's interesting seeing the sheep walking about with permanent hard ons while they think they're still in the title race.
