IT is not quite mid-season yet, the traditional period of reflection on the first part of the league campaign, but the break for the World Cup allows for an early taking of stock. And from a Celtic point of view, the headline news is that they already have one hand on the Premiership trophy.
It is fair to say then that on the whole, Celtic supporters will be more than satisfied by what Ange Postecoglou’s team have produced so far this term, building up a nine-point advantage at the top of the league despite a congested fixture list and a first foray back in the Champions League group stages for five seasons.
