Fred Done started paying out on Celtic to win the SPL after the Hoops increased their lead to 11 points with an impressive 3-0 victory over Rangers at Parkhead yesterday. And they make the Bhoys 1-2 to win the title in 2004-05, with Rangers 6-4. Celtic took the lead after 19 minutes when Stilian Petrov headed in Henrik Larsson's cross and went further ahead on the hour mark with a Stanislav Varga header. Alan Thompson sealed the win with a fantastic free-kick in the 83rd minute. It was Celtic's 18th consecutive league win, setting a new record, and it stretched their unbeaten home league run to 48. Bookies are no longer pricing up the SPL. Even if Rangers win the last two Old Firm clashes, they would also need to win two more of their other games than Celtic to take the title.
