During this game credit has to go to the referee who clamped down on the kind of bullying tactics enthusiastically employed by St Johnstone when he decided to book three out of the first five Saints who committed fouls, presumably having learned from the mistakes made when the Perth club had to committ nineteen fouls against Celtic to earn a booking.<\/p>\n<p>Progress ?<\/p>\n<p>Or one of the first signs that seven in a row is going to be a little difficult ?<\/p>\n<p>Celtic have only themselves to blame if those who would rather keep the status quo in Scottish football eventually triumph over honesty and fair play, as their silence on the compliance officer report fiasco indicates, and don;t get me started on their support of Neil Doncaster, who as we revealed yesterday, maintains that &#8220;rangers &#8221; are Rangers and thats that.<\/p>\n<p>We should have dealt with this at the time, as it was always going to come back and bite our bottoms.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, at this stage, there&#8217;s a treble to secure, and then we can all decide what we are going to spend our season book money on in the summer, because unless we have had some action by then, we might as well chuck it.<\/p>\n<p>League sponsirs Ladbrokes are trying to turn it into some sort of cliffhanger title race, with a special mention for \u00a311m forward Alfredo morelas raising an eyebrow or
