Would you like to see Celtic and Rangers in the English league?

[Arthurgray50@blu]

Point taken, I would like to see both clubs join a league from Europe, just to see how good both clubs are with the elite sides.

I can see Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal etc wiping the floor with both clubs AS they are not as good as they were.

I would have thought both clubs' recent uninspiring performance in the existing European tournaments gives you a pretty good clue how good they are compared with the elite sides...

Or put another way:

If Rangers got their 10 points restored and Celtic went into administration and were deducted 10 points, Celtic would still have won the league

(Thanks to Mjallby's son for that observation)

Arsenal played Celtic in a qualifier a few years ago and it wasn't a problem at all. They have only dropped much further since then. They currently have 1 Champions League spot which is a early round qualifier and even that is at risk.

I'd post the link on you tube but it's got profanity overload. Worse than that there's some really ugly people there.
just search for Celtic Park toilets and you'll get it.

Can't see how they figured out the toilets at the lego arena were damaged after the Rangers fans had finished with their remodelling.

Hmmm, the Clyde story is missing a few bits and pieces from what I understand. Still if you are silly enough to A: Start spouting sectarian crap at the footie and B: get caught then I don't think he'll be any great loss to the force.

It looks like Celtic Park will be hosting Full houses long after Ibroke has became a Tesco extra

The most unfortunate aspect of is that's is bound to strengthen the convictions of the more paranoid Celtic supporters.

Having said that much of the stuff I've argued against my fellow Celtic supporters about now appears to have more than a modicum of truth. The tax avoidance is nothing compared to other financial irregularities, possible phone hacking and dual contracts.

Let me know when they actually start having full houses bar Rangers games. There are a hell of a lot of Mothers days over in the East End. Either that or the fans are going dressed as seats.

There'll be a full house for the next Glasgow derby..... once Partick Thistle get promotion.

There was quite a good programme on BBC Scotland and NI 8pm tonight on the background behind Rangers current financial plight for anybody who is interested "The men who sold the Jerseys"

A lot of it is regurgitated Internet rumour that's been given a bit of flesh but even the involvement of the administrators is looking a bit questionable.

Perhaps this thread should be closed and replaced with will there be a Rangers football team next year?
Gist of it can be read here:

Oooft more fun and games with the Rangers and the raging incompetents at the SFA.

After imposing a sanction that wasn't available to them Rangers have managed to get the courts to agree making things up as you go along isn't particularly fair and the SFA have been ordered to forget the 12 month transfer embargo and £160k fine.

Now the SFA have to decide whether to fine Rangers up to £100k, expel the from the Scottish Cup, or expel them from Scottish football altogether...

Plus FIFA have expressed their unhappiness at Rangers resorting to domestic courts and this could lead to another stand off between Rangers and the SFA.
