Now they're only 15 points clear.
Celtic were held this evening at St. Johnstone 0-0 but, sometimes, the scoreline should come with an asterisk beside it.
Because when they come as gilt-edged as James Forrest's did in the 84th minute, the manager deserves something. He can't legislate for misses like this.
The Hoops man rounded the 'keeper coolly as he strode through to put the hosts to the sword but, with an unkind bobble taking him by surprise, Forrest shinned this glorious opportunity wide.
It's not going to affect anything in the grand scheme of things but embarrassing nonetheless.
