Can Celtic dominate another year?
![]()
Celtic have won the Scottish Premier League title with five games left to play.
However, they were soundly beaten on Sunday by 10-man Dundee. Can Celtic have the same success next season? After victory in the Scottish League Cup and Premiership can Celtic win a domestic treble? Celtic were beaten by Dundee on Sunday, their first home defeat of the season. Not a good result for the side who have already done the double this season. With an important Scottish FA Cup final match against Hibs on Saturday, will this defeat affect thier performance? Or were Celtic simply taking it easy before their treble cup-winning chance at Hampden Park this weekend? Have Celtic got what it takes to continue their winning form next season? If not, which team will challenge them? Tell us what you think about Celtic winning the title, or any other subject regarding the SPL.

Don't count Rangers out yet. Remember that they did beat Celtic 5-1 this season. As more and more players come back from injury they are already looking like a stronger and more confident team. I don't think Celtic will find it so easy next season.
I am a Celtic fan but I do not want to see Celtic dominate next season as they have done this one. It makes for a very boring season. We need to see real neck and neck competition up until the last ball is kicked. That's what makes for an exciting season as far as I'm concerned!! Surely even the Rangers fans took no real pleasure from the fact that their team only had to turn up last season to claim the title.

I'm a Leeds fan and believe that Celtic should be given credit where credit is due. They are a solid team and could compete with most of the teams in the Premiership. I gave Rangers credit when they they won the League last season but now Celtic have doen the treble. Because everyone else is so bad? I don't think so!
Celtic and Rangers should join the English Premiership. I think that their performance would surprise a lot of English football fans. It would certainly make supporting Celtic and Rangers more exciting!!!
Celtic have won the title this season and as a Rangers fan I admit to being a bit disappointed with Rangers performance but it really does not say a lot for Scottish football when Rangers can perform so patheticaly for the majority of the season and still come in second. It would be nice to have a bit more constant competition in the SPL where every game is a difficult one! It would certainly make it a bit more exciting.
