The champions extended their lead at the top of the table with a dogged win over an Inverness Caledonian Thistle team who refused to accept defeat until the final whistle sounded well into the 50th minute of the second half.The game itself will be memorable for little more than a tired looking Celtic clearing their lines for the last 30 minutes as Inverness made the most of a series of free kicks which allowed them to launch attacks.Shaun Maloney scored the only goal of the game after 28 minutes despite not making a clean connection with his shot from outside the box. Maloney spend most of the afternoon away from his more effective central midfield role, so found little opportunity to display his creative talents.Scott Brown and Paul Hartley never quite got to grips with the Inverness central midfield but both defended resolutely 30 yards from their own goal to deny the Highlanders space in dangerous areas.The champions have now recorded 12 league wins in succession, turning a three point deficit into a seven point advantage. They took one on the chin on Tuesday night but today demonstrated the character that made them champions in the first place.

I am thankful that the problems Celtic face are getting past the last 16 of the Champions League and not if Rangers will get past 9-in-a-row as it was in the 90’s.
