Helicopter Sunday looms and the fat lady will begin singing at either Tannadice or Celtic Park. My money is on Tayside.

I maintain that the title was lost at Ibrox and, even if I'm proved wrong and we do win it on Sunday, I shall never forgive Gordon Strachan for his inexplicable and indefensible team selection which let Rangers off the hook. We had the chance to strike a fatal blow and, by leaving McGeady out, the manager decided to bamboozle the opposition into defeat. Too clever by half - not!

Some might argue that McGeady played against Hibs and didn't make the difference, but the situations were entirely different. Hibs didn't need to win or draw on Sunday and still decided to put on a show of defensive football. Mixedup Patteleinan contrived to congratulate his team on their performance and no doubt ordered some champagne to celebrate finishing sixth!!

Rangers did need to win at Ibrox and McGeady would have exploited spaces left by their defenders when they moved to support attacks. He would also have relished the prospect of turning veteran Christian Dailly inside out on a slippery surface.

At least Dundee United will have a go on Sunday, partly because they need a point to secure a European spot and partly because Craig Levein and his team have the belief that they can beat both Rangers or Celtic home or away, referees permitting. Levein's side were highly impressive at Parkhead last Tuesday and Gomis is a gem of a player who has everything - pace, vision, movement, touch and a killer pass. We have all of that too, but not in one player.

I'll be there on Sunday hoping for a miracle, but expecting to finish second in a title race we should have won weeks ago.

Not happy.
