CELTIC are top of the Premiership Fair Play League as well as requiring just one win to claim their second successive title.
Ange Postecoglou’s players are the best behaved in the top flight – and that’s OFFICIAL!
They have had only two players – Callum McGregor and David Turnbull – sent off in the league this season and, overall, have not given referees too much work in reaching for their cards.
In our special league table, with the points supplied by the Edinburgh Evening News, it shows the Parkhead stars as being the best behaved as well as the most successful.
JUST CHAMPION…Joe Hart carries the Premiership trophy after last season’s success.
