Strachan plays down title talk
18 May 2008 - 14:40:33
Celtic manager Gordon Strachan has played down claims that his side are now favourites to win the Scottish Premier League title.
Rivals Rangers were held to a 1-1 draw at Motherwell on Saturday to leave the Hoops three points clear at the top of the table having played just one game more.
Celtic also have a seven-goal advantage in terms of goals difference, but Strachan is refusing to contemplate pipping the Ibrox club to the title ahead of Thursday's final round of fixtures.
"I haven't got a clue if we are favourites or not," he claimed.
"Several weeks ago, I was dead and buried, so I was told, but my objective was always to take it to the last game, which was the best we could offer at that stage and now we've managed to do that."
