Would 4 in a row eclipse the last 3 years?

Would winning 4 in a row eclipse the last 3 year title wins?

When we won the league when wattie came back after the Le Guen farce, it was an amazing feeling to pip wee gordo. He’d won 3 in a row and had Celtic competing in the knock out stage of the Champs league. The wee man quit 2 weeks later knowing he wasn’t wanted at Parkhead and because he knew Wattie had the measure of him. That title was sweet.

The following year, we were trailing Celtic at Xmas, but about 9-10 points after losing the OF. We went on a great run and won up at Tannadice where we had a poor record, and we seen the “operation tango" at Parkhead on the same day. That title celebration definitely surpassed the previous one. Especially as we hadn’t bought any players in approx 2 years. Beating Mowgli and his “new revolution" was a bit of a downer as the man was so poor.

Then we had last season too, when with 4 games to go, we drew with Celtic at Ibrox. We all thought it was gone, no way would they lose to Inverness…..oh wait!!! Game on….and the Gers thumped Killie on the last day for wild celebrations, for title number 3. Despite all the allegations, name calling, victimization cards, paranoia and tears and snotters from our rivals, we still won, and it was great to do the double over them when their team was full of four or five “£10m players" .

But I ask you bears…..would winning 4 in a row surpass all of the joys and highs we’ve had in the last 3 seasons?

In the current backdrop, where our rivals think we are at our lowest, and we still sit top of the league going for 4 in a row…would it not make it all the sweeter for our players to say “no surrender", and go out and win 4 in a row?

Shock horror Celtic fans predicts another fire sale!!

We sold Kenny Miller last January, but still proved too good for the celts, winning the old firm cup final and the SPL.

I agree Hillbilly, I didnt think winning the SPL this year could surpass last seasons joy. After all the dirty tricks celtic tried, it was amazing to see their wee love in and candlelight vigils for Lennon.

But to win it again this year, despite all we are hearing and reading would be immense!!!

Winning the league is always sweet. The financial benefits available to the winners this season would definitely make it sweeter still.

I'd also love to see if they have another huddle-fest after claiming another silver medal. Would they all still be Neil Lennon if he's beaten by a rookie who's bought in cheap duds?

Would be hard to beat last year but it would be another terrific achievement.

It would also serve to highlight the sheer incompetency at ALL levels at Parkhead.

Maybe the GFITW would finally wake up and relaise they've been hoodwinked for the last four years.
