- @JustinCase0110 Bragging rights in Glasgow with another win against Celtic, but the loss to Hearts is costly. With the tough matches to come against Chelsea, this will be a test.

At one point I thought Celtic would win it, scoring so early, and that would have been game over, if they'd had an 8 points gap. Now the 2 points gap can be closed in the remaining derby in the Championship Round. So at least it's in my own hands again.
I feel this is going down to a cliffhanger. Celtic & Rangers still in striking distance of one another.

Yes indeed. Both are also out of Europe now, so it's all about the domestic competitions at this point. Both are in the Cup Semi Final too, vs Motherwell and Hearts respectively.
And in the event of equal points what would be decisive?
Head-2-Head, goal difference total, or championship round only?
It would of course be very anti-climactic if a lesser result against Aberdeen would ruin it for you...
I'm not suggesting anything, I'm just trying to be sarcastically funny š

I honestly don't know. I've read that goal difference is the deciding factor, but whether it's for the full season or only the Championship Round, I really don't know.
Anyway, the Aberdeen game went to plan for sure. So no matter how things are calculated, a win in the last game at Celtic Park will do it for me.
A penalty to decide it all? Rangers hardly get goals against, so it might well be the decider...

Yes, I can't really complain about my defensive stats this season.
They are sweetest this way, aren't they: congratz 'Gers! Now, one more attempt in the Champions League, or...?

Yes, I missed the Champions League last season, so I'm definitely going for a better result this time.
But first, the cup final vs Hearts and a chance for the double.
FULL SQUAD COME END OF SEASON:
- @JustinCase0110 Quite the successful end to the season. Last-day victory over Celtic delivering the title, too. That's probaby likely to deliver the seetest fweeling amongst the fans.
A close match against Hearts also ends the 'right way'.
Must be quite satisfying.

Must be quite satisfying.Yes, this was absolutely a satisfying end to the season. Brilliant. I just love it, when it remains tight and competitive until the end.
That is a sh!t draw, man!... And it will only amplify the criticism on the chosen course.
You can't say it in public, but reality is that 3rd in such a group is already a very optimistic target and if then the draw is slightly more fortunate to you, maybe have a shot at UEFA Europa League...
