“I know our league is not the same as the Premiership, but there is not that much difference.
“And if this Celtic side was in the Premiership we would be competitive in the top half of the table.â€
Maybe he was just bringing up the ol’ Old Firm in the Premiership debate to gee his Bhoys up (see what I did there) or maybe he really believes what he’s saying.
