KENNY MILLER believes the Scottish campaign should be completed, insisting it cannot be taken for granted that Celtic would have marched to the title.
Belgium’s Jupiler Pro League has sent shockwaves across Europe by defying UEFA and unilaterally declaring their season over and naming Club Brugge, who lead Gent by 15 points, the champions.

That decision is likely to be ratified at a general assembly on April 14 but, in the meantime, it has set a precent which the SPFL must decide whether or not to follow during a series of crunch meetings next week.
Like Brugge, Celtic boast a handsome lead at the summit of the Premiership - nevertheless Miller, who starred for both clubs, is adamant the could still be caught by Rangers if the league resumes.
The former Scotland striker said: “I don’t think anything is decided yet, albeit there are favourites for certain things.
“Celtic are overwhelming favourites to go ahead and win the league, which they probably will. But stranger things have happened in football over the years and I don’t think anything should be taken for granted.
“I’m sure Neil Lennon - if this [coronavirus shut-down] hadn’t happened - wouldn’t have been taking anything for granted and would be wanting to finish the job off.
“So if it can be finished safely and we get the green light from the powers that be, I’d like to see it finished.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
