Celtic interim boss Neil Lennon faces an intriguing dilemma in the weeks ahead. After the 2-1 win over Rangers, the Hoops are 13 points clear at the top of the league.
As a result, it is only a matter of time until the league title is clinched. Therefore, the Hoops can afford to take some gambles in the upcoming games against St Mirren and Livingston.
No need to pick struggling players
There is no need to risk the likes of Kieran Tierney who has been struggling with injury, for the games. However, the managerial uncertainty at Celtic might prevent Lennon from taking risks.
There is still a demand for Celtic to win every league game, even though the title is all but won. For example, it would not look good for Lennon if Celtic lost to relegation threatened St Mirren on Wednesday night.
Therefore, the team that defeated Rangers on Sunday could well make up the backbone of the team that faces St Mirren.
Changes would be intriguing
But it would be intriguing to see Lennon make a few unexpected changes for the game against St Mirren.
The likes of Mikey Johnston, Marvin Compper and even Tom Rogic should perhaps be included for the St Mirren game.
It would be good for Rogic to get some game time ahead of the upcoming Scottish Cup semi-final against Aberdeen.
The title is all but won, and Lennon should throw caution to the wind. But with his managerial future still uncertain, this may not happen.
