Premier League football (England and Scotland) is quite boringly predictable when it comes to league positions.**
Of course Hearts could have won the league title but if you add up the player 'values' then the cost of one Celtic player equates to half the Hearts team.
Despite that the Gorgie side held both Glasgow teams off for months till yesterday when they achieved a 'most accomplished runners up' award amid a chaotic pitch invasion at Parkhead.
The entitlement of 'old firm' fans* and their Glasgow media fanboys infuriates me. For months the talk was that they might not win the trophy this year and how they could close the gap to Hearts (how dare they compete!). Celtic & Ranger fans suffered months of mental anguish at the hands of Hearts with manager Derek McInnes.... but with piles of money and the return of Martin O'Neill as manager it all came right in the end. Yawn.
