Kano Pillars Still In Title Race - Gambo Mohammed

Kano Pillars forward Gambo Mohammed believes his side can still mount a Glo Premier League title challenge despite their not too impressive showing in the first half of the season.

The defending champions are nine points adrift of leaders Sunshine Stars and need a remarkable turnaround in performance and luck to win a fourth consecutive title.

And Gambo, who is yet to feature in the league in this campaign for the Sai Masu Gida due to the gunshot injury he sustained on their way to honour a match day one fixture against Heartland, is adamant his side can still catch up with the frontrunners.

ALL HAIL KANO PILLARS - New Champions Of The Nigerian Premier League

Kano Pillars have technically emerged winners of the prolonged 2013/2014 Glo Premier League even with one round of matches yet to be played. Pillars edged relegated Nembe City 4-0 in their last home match of the season while Enyimba drew 1-1 with Dolphins of Port Harcourt at the Liberation Stadium.

The result in Kano means Pillars now have 65 points and would be crowned a third time back-to-back champions irrespective of the outcome of their last game of the season away to Enyimba. It is the second time Pillars and Enyimba have been locked in a photo-finish clash with the Pyramid City side coming out tops at the end of the day.
