It all sounded a bit disingenuous but David Turnbull’s claim that he didn’t know Rangers had dropped points at St Mirren before he took the field against Ross County will be taken at face value.
Incredulous? The Celtic midfielder also insists he’s not even been keeping tabs on the Premiership table either which is up there on the throwaway catchphrase that footballers don’t read newspapers. Regardless of the reality of either matter, there was no doubting the veracity of his belief that he’s part of a side with its foot on the pedal in a title race which has them accelerating out of sight with a nine point lead over Rangers.
With a five weeks break for the World Cup now beginning, Turnbull fired an ominous warning that the champions intend to resume after Qatar 2022 stronger than ever. He said: “We don’t look at the table, we go into each game focusing on us and trying to get the three points. We don’t focus on anyone else, or their results, it is about what we do.
