Some Celtic fans have been slamming the latest comments that former Scotland striker Graeme Sharp recently made about the Scottish Premiership.
Sharp was recently talking to the Irish Independent about the seasons in England and Scotland. He revealed that ‘rushing’ people back for football isn’t a good idea and also said that he isn’t ‘so sure’ about playing games behind closed doors.
He said: “Start next season in August or September and this is the way it’s got to go. There are too many permutations in terms of giving the league to Liverpool and saying Celtic are champions in Scotland, with Hearts getting relegated. You can’t do that.”
The Daily Record relayed these comments on Twitter. On reading what Sharp had to say, many Celtic fans were fuming. They slated Sharp for his comments about how the season should end.
Yawn!

Celtic are currently 13 points clear at the top of the Premiership table (via Whoscored) – so it is clear why fans have reacted like this to Sharp’s comments.
What do we think?
Celtic’s dominance isn’t just limited to their 13-point lead, as the Hoops are yet to lose a single Premiership game in 2020. It shows how they are certainly worthy of winning the Premiership this season. Sharp is entitled to his opinion but that doesn’t mean his suggestions will necessarily be followed by the authorities.
