Celtic's title triumph will owe as much to mental fortitude as it will to free-flowing football

Ange Postecoglou has managed to ingrain a resilience into his Celtic squad that has carried them to the brink of the Premiership title.

IT was clear that Celtic must be on the brink of celebrating a monumental success when John Terry was spotted in the crowd wearing their colours yesterday. At least it was just a scarf this time, mind, though he may be saving the full kit for the trophy presentation.

For the Premiership now surely belongs to Celtic after their draw with Rangers, and while their rivals may have been able to avoid the ignominy of having to stomach a full-throttled title party, they couldn’t quite get the win they needed at Celtic Park to plant even the merest seed of doubt about the destination of the trophy.
