IT’S impossible to look beyond Celtic for the title. That said, with rivals strengthening, it will still take something special for them to get over the line. But Rangers and Aberdeen, the most obvious threats, are starting from too far back to play catch-up. Jim Goodwin will have to work miracles — and receive serious backing — to keep St Mirren out of the mire. Don’t discount an established side like St Johnstone getting dragged into the fight.
