Some Celtic fans are still very much positive about the Premiership despite their recent title setback following a 2-1 loss on Sunday.

The Hoops now find themselves in the tricky position at the top of the Premiership table currently. They are two points above their fierce rivals after the defeat, but Steven Gerrard’s men have a game in hand on the Bhoys and winning it will take them up to the top of the league.

Celtic fans: Are you confident that you will win the Premiership?

We surely will!

We surely will!

I have my doubts

With the winter break coming, both sides will play a Scottish Cup game early in January before moving back to the league games.

Despite suffering a setback, some Celtic fans are confident they can still win the league this season, with many appearing to share the same views as Rebel Celts who stated the reaction to the loss was far too big.

The Hoops have been at the top of the league for a vast majority of the current season and winning the league title would mean that Neil Lennon will have taken the side to consecutive silverware since returning in February.

The club has already qualified for the next round of the UEFA Europa League. They beat Lazio twice – ousting them at home and away. They finished at the top of their group for the first time history but didn’t go through on an unbeaten note. They lost the last game of the group stage to Cluj away from home.


Lennon’s men have already won the Scottish League Cup too. They beat Rangers themselves in the final, as a Christopher Jullien goal in the second half proved enough to lift the club’s 19th League Cup title.

What do we think?

The Rangers loss has made many Hoops fans panic. But a lot of the season is still left. There are a lot of points to play for and it will be a surprise if either of the sides don’t drop any points. It is time to be patient and keep going.
