The ‘fear’ of Celtic winning this title is starting to creep in amongst the media, as Ewan Cameron says he’ll don a Celtic jersey if the Hoops win it

Something happened last Sunday in six blistering minutes at Hampden Park when Celtic annihilated St. Mirren with 4 quickfire goals.

People sat up and took note of the fact that Celtic aren’t dead and buried just yet.

The realisation hit home that the Bhoys still have some fight left in them.

And just when people in the media started to gain false confidence that we would drop out of this title race with a whimper, a briefly dormant fear was reawakened in them.

Hugh Keevins rated our chances of winning the title in the zero percentile.

Even though that particular notion was rammed down his throat on Sunday, he won’t back track on his absurd prediction.

That won’t even happen if we succeed in making a complete fool of him by winning a double.

Instead, he will no doubt lament the state of the Scottish game if the Ibrox side or Hearts end up trophyless.

He will say that the fact that Celtic – at their weakest since the early 1990’s – could win a double is a sad indictment of the Scottish game.

And you know what?

He’d be right, but as a Celtic fan, I don’t give a monkey’s.

All I care about is that Celtic win.

I won’t feel sorry for Hearts or the Ibrox side if they win nothing, just as I’m sure they would revel in the pleasure of us winning nothing.

But make no mistake, the fear is starting to creep in that after Sunday’s weird and wonderful turn of events at Hampden Park, something might just have awakened in Celtic.

And it might have happened at the most important time of the season too.

Today that creeping fear also seems to have hit Ewan Cameron.

Cameron was moaning about the injustice of the post-split fixtures recently, whereby he spouted that Celtic playing Hearts on the last day of the season was joke.

He said the SFA, the SPFL, and Scottish referees were a joke as well.

I’m surprised Ian Maxwell didn’t rap him on the knuckles for that outburst as well.

There was something Karmaic about watching his outburst, though.

The fact that he was complaining about Hearts fans being crammed into the corner at Celtic Park with a restricted view was kind of sadistically satisfying.

Especially when you consider how Hearts cut, and cut, and cut our allocation at Tynecastle – from a full stand – down to cramming a paltry 600 fans into the corner of the Roseburn stand.

Now, we didn’t instigate that particular decision, did we?

Yet Cameron complained at the injustice of us reciprocating the way we were treated by Hearts.

I mean, what did he expect?

That we’d allow 7,000 of them into Celtic Park on the last day of the season, especially if its a title decider?

Unfortunately for Hearts, they’ve reaped what they’ve sown in this situation.

Well, after that rant, Ewan Cameron is back in the headlines today.

But this time, its clear that the fear of Celtic winning this title is starting to creep in with him.

Especially after Sunday’s events.

Cameron has stated that he will don a Celtic jersey if we win the title.

That, in reality, is his fear of us winning being over-compensated by false bravado.

There is now a very real chance that Cameron may just have to be true to his word on that one.

Here is some of what he had to say in today’s Record:
