Legend Chris Sutton still feels that Celtic will have had a successful season if they add the Scottish Cup to the Betfred trophy already in the cabinet in Paradise. 

The pundit knows the Hoops are in a strong position to do much better but feels you have to put the Premiership title race into context of where his old team were in the summer. 

Sutton feels a cup double win would still constitute success in a tight battle for silverware given the mess that existed in July.

And he’s hailed Ange Postecoglou for being “bold” in answering questions about a treble when most managers would have shut down such talk. 

He said: “They are in with a chance this year and that’s more than most expected. 

“The cup Double would still be a success. A league and cup Double would be remarkable. 

“And the Treble would be absolutely sensational. 

“Especially when you consider where Celtic have come from. Ange Postecoglou doesn’t shy away from it either. 

“Usually when managers get asked about Trebles, they run a mile from it. 

“Postecoglou hasn’t shouted from the rooftops about winning the clean sweep but he has admitted it’s there for his side. 

“That’s about as bold as it gets from a manager of Celtic or Rangers. 

“In fairness to him, however, he’s never wavered in what he’s said all season. It’s always about being focused on performance rather than results – as one leads to the other – and he’s insisted he won’t change a thing for the run-in. 

“Why should he?”
