He said: “It was as though they had won the World Cup. It will be the same again when it happens as Celtic are the big scalp.
“The urgency with which other clubs want it to finally happen is now entertaining.
“Seeing how irate some people are getting rather than concentrating on their own job in hand. You can see the resentment creeping in.
He added: “For other teams who want to take the scalp of Celtic my advice would be to not leave things to chance.
“Don’t give referees a decision to make. Blaming everyone and everything else won’t help. Taking personal responsibility will.”
