A full disclosure
There is, in this day and age, a need to make a full and frank disclosure about everyone and everything within Scottish football for the benefit of those who have sole occupancy of the game's moral high ground.
In that vein, I shall hereby state that Leigh Griffiths should have been sent off for stamping on an opponent during Sunday's game between Hamilton Accies and Celtic.
How the referee failed to spot the incident and take the appropriate course of action passeth beyond human understanding.
On the basis that I was sitting in a flat in East Dunbartonshire with a cup of coffee in my hand and not officiating at a match in North Lanarkshire when this violent incident took place I cannot take any responsibility whatsoever for the failure to send the Celtic player from the field of play.
I fully understand that a red card might have affected the course of play and I also accept that it might have not, but I cannot acccept liability for either scenario.
This is entirely a matter for the match official, his assistants and the Scottish Football Association.
Or, if you want a instant satisfaction, make a telephone call to Superscoreboard at six o'oclock this evening when you will be able to give full vent to your frustrations.
Celtic took full advantage of Rangers' inadequacies against Aberdeen on Saturday when they belatedly took control of Hamilton Accies numerical disadvantage against themselves on Sunday.
A seven point lead at the top of the table now has an exotic and comforting look about it if you're a Celtic fan.
But it is not any guarantee of a title win while Neil Lennon's teams' defensive definciences continue.
Christopher Jullien is a seven million pound defender who has one outstanding flaw in his game. He can't defend.
Kristofer Ajer is a young man blessed with consummate belief in his own ability to defend. It is a belief blighted by one factor. He can't defend either.
The outcome of the league title race still comes down to the two matches played between Celtic and Rangers at Ibrox and Celtic Park.
We have now moved into the psychological warfare stage of the battle between the two clubs.
Ajer and Jullien are the definition of vulnerability. Rangers have lost their spark, according to Steven Gerrard.
The league flag, therefore, will go to the side who can stand up straight without medication between now and May.
Alfredo Morelos was, by all accounts, below his best at the weekend and is now beset by off-field difficulties into the bargain.
He will need to keep his composure and not give into bouts of irritation on the park in the days ahead, starting against Hibs at Ibrox on Wednesday.
Jermain Defoe is a long term injury victim. The loss of Defoe to injury and Morelos to suspension, leaving loan striker Florian Kamberi as the sole striking option, would be no-one's idea of an ideal situation for Rangers.
Likewise, Celtic have to hope that Jullien and Ajer can figure out a way to deal with corner kicks, free kicks or anything else that comes in above waist height, or else they're in bother as well.
The mercury in the thermometer is rising.
The most important league title race in the history of Scottish football is approaching the moment where one false move and you are out of here.
Who can live with that pressure best of all is the crucial question.
Celtic and Rangers are flawed.
It could be mentality which decides the title race.
Two derby matches still looks like the best bet to decide if Celtic record an historical milestone by winning Nine in a Row for a second time or Rangers puncture Celtic's balloon.
You wouldn't, under current circumstances, bet on either of them with any degree of certainty.
You didn't think it would turn out to be this way, did you?
