And someone who plays good football too
Big fan you are
No I'm not a big fan of Rangers or Celtic to be honest. However as this is the 'Scottish Football' thread I didn't see anything wrong with my post?
Its not lies in fairness
Happy for Defoe finishing with a league title, also think tavernier is probably better than Doherty.
liked the 90’s rangers (though I like Hearts the most there).
regardless of Celtic being classless cunts it’s good for a monopoly to break to at least a duopoly

Both of the old firm clubs run on this model. Sell a value asset (player or manager) every few years to balance the books.
If you take player sales since 2014 (Celtic £97m, Rangers £6m) then Rangers are operating more within their means. Both clubs run at a loss last season which was affected by COVID (Celtic £22.6m, Rangers £16.3m). But if either team can qualify for the champions League group stage (worth €15-30m plus TV revenue fees) that'd be a massive game changer. No need to sell a big asset and the added draw of CL football.
Not when that club has claimed to be null and void by themselves. They themselves said they were a new team, new business to avoid paying a 30 mill debt.
+ cherry pick the best players from the minions as is the rest of Scottish football keep them in their place thus keeping Rangers & Celtic at the top if over the years Dundee Utd, Hibernian, Hearts & Aberdeen had been allowed to keep and develop their best players each of them might have had a chance of a challenge for the league.
It's not true either.
Happens in every league, unless strict wage and number of player limits are brought it, it will continue to happen. Scottish clubs had their chance over the past decade to try and step and fill the void left by Rangers demotion, no team could do it. What that did was allow Celtic to be come poorer and still walk the league and cups every season this the entire standard of the league dropped. Unfortunately due to the existing fan bases and world wide interest in the old firm nobody will compete without serious external investment.
That bastion of fairness uefa
i presume that new corporate structure paid the debts off that their club owed. Sure any club can do that. Oh we owe 50 mill. We'll declare ourselves bankrupt drop down a div and build back up.Yeah happens in Spain,Germany etc and Scotland other teams can’t sustain a realistic challenge due to financial restraints the two biggest supported clubs arguably are Hearts & Hibs one was unjustly relegated and are languishing in the league below the other as per usual comes out of the blocks at a great pace then goes pear shaped and runs out of steam.
Not a hope
Celtic are going to have to go into rebuild mode now.
I am almost willing to be money on them putting in a bid on Henrik Larsson's kid now that he has found form in Russia.

Doesn't get much bigger for Celtic than Lambert
looks good from whenever I have seen him but I guess a gamble but the price might be good. Who would you go for?
From the Rangers side? Not sure any are that exciting. Ryan Kent is pretty good but I think we have plenty of that kind of talent.
If Greegsy was younger I'd sign him.
