SCOTT BROWN says that the title race is a long way from over as Celtic gear up to return to the scene of their only away defeat in the Premiership this season tonight.
The Celtic captain and his teammates travel to the Toni Macaroni Arena to take on Livingston this evening, where they lost 2-0 back in October.
The champions have opened up a 12-point gap on closest rivals Rangers since the winter break, but Brown has sounded a note of caution ahead of the tricky trip to West Lothian this evening.
“There’s still a long way to go,” Brown said. “We just look at it one game at a time.
“We have a huge game against Livingston first and after that we will look at the weekend. Livi will be hard.
“We’ve found it hard going there before. They will be physical, direct, they are in your face and don’t give you a second on the ball.
“It’s up to us to play around that and try to create chances and score goals. I think the last game we were a bit unlucky with Ryan [Christie] getting sent off.
“It was always going to be difficult after that, but we could have played a lot better, even with 10 men.”
Brown doesn’t accept that a ninth consecutive title is already in the bag despite the stuttering form of closest rivals Rangers since the winter break.
“Nope,” he said. “Not at all. There’s a long way to go and football is a crazy world.
“We just need to make sure we keep ticking them off game by game and playing as well as we can.
“We’ve been miles ahead and miles behind and it’s changed. It happens in football.
“But we just focus on ourselves. We don’t talk about anyone else, we just look forward to whoever we are playing.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
