A friend commented this morning on how the Scottish Premier league is basically over already (which is arguably true) and how crap a league it is compared to the English Premiership... however, I had a close look at both the Premiership table and the Scottish Prem table this morning, and noticed some interesting facts...
Both teams at the top were on 44 pts after 17 games... Both teams at the bottom were on 12 pts after 17 games... 3rd place in England and 2nd place in Scotland were both on 28 pts (16 pts behind the leaders) - interesting, given that the English Prem has 20 teams to Scotland's 12... so, aside from the fact that the English league is still a two-horse race, the differences are not that huge... In Scotland, there is still only 2 teams who can hope to win the league. In England, there are 3-4 teams... proportionally similar...
Still, I'm not saying that Celtic are as good as Man U or Chelsea, but the fact that Celtic are runaway leaders at the moment is not that dissimilar to the Man U/Chelsea lead in the English Prem...
