Thirteen games, hundreds of minutes and thousands of miles covered in just 42 days.
It’s been a gruelling six weeks for Celtic. But the most important figure for the Hoops right now? The number seven. That’s the gap on Rangers at the top of the Premiership after a lung-busting schedule at home and abroad which has left the champions on 39 points heading into this afternoon’s clash with Ross County.
It’s also a mighty 10 points better off than the same stage last season for Ange Postecoglou ’s side. The manager is preparing his leg-weary troops for one last push before the World Cup break when Malky Mackay’s Staggies arrive in Glasgow today. And Postecoglou insists that navigating that exhausting run with minimal disruption domestically proves they can handle ANYTHING that is thrown their way after the World Cup. He said: “This will be our 13th game in 42 days, and that includes Champions League and all the travel that goes with that, and the boys have done well.
