Charlie Mulgrew: 'Celtic flourished when the pressure was on'
Injuries to key players and signings struggling to make a notable impact could have been wheeled out as excuses had the title slipped from their grasp.
Some people may say Rangers threw the title away with costly slip-ups against Ross County and Dundee last month, but Celtic have proved they are the best team in Scotland.Their third title on the bounce has been far from smooth sailing. This could have been the year where Rangers, revived by changing manager at the right time, went on it win it.
Rodgers looks like he relishes the pressure. There were some real sticky spells in the season – when he and his team were doubted and criticised - and he stood strong. That’s what a true leader does and the players have been inspired by that. Manager and team stuck together and got there. Forrest’s reintroduction was perfect, Tomoki Iwata came in during Callum McGregor’s injury and had some great games. Adam Idah arrived on loan from Norwich in January to little fanfare and has scored crucial goals - two at Motherwell, two at Hibs, and one at Ibrox spring to mind.
