There was never a perfect way to resolve this issue as observed in other Euro footie leagues and, in Celtic's case, I believe the Hoops were actually at the point of "strolling away" with another Scot Prem title as well as attaining a record-breaking quadruple "treble", the main reasons being that they had no Euro footie commitment, they were on a positive and unassailable unbeaten run/pts gap and lotsa injured players, who were vg and would be competing for 1st team places, were returning to play again and Rangers were a "disaster" that was already self-evident up to 14 March.
