Recon they will beat Spurs but won't win the league. Might finish in top four though.

They would fare okay, don't think they would challenge in their 1st season but they would improve as football teams as playing better sides has to improve you.  Don't think it will ever happen though.  The other teams need the revenue that comes from the big 2 in Scotland.

Honestly, they need to obtain a greater market here first. Continue briging high proifle European teams to play. I think the only way were going to get decent soccer around here anytime soon is become basically a farm team league. All the European superpowers (AC Milan, Fc Barcelona, Chelsea FC, Juventus, Manchester United, Lyon, Real Madrid) send their reserves here, as a developemental league.

Ok , I've thought about it as asked so I'll answer now....\n\n1. No, under those criteria my team (Spurs) are not as "big" as Celtic.\n\n2. However, those criteria are essentially meaningless. All they provide is wealth to a club..but that doesn't translate to success on the pitch. If it did, Celtic would never lose a match and win the SPL every single year without fail..but they doesn't happen\n\n3. You admit the EPL is a "better league"..but in terms of what? Being more competitive? I dont think thats strictly true anymore. Just like in Scotland, the wealthiest clubs are pulling away from the rest. Thats not a good thing, however you look at it.\n\n4. If Celtic & Rangers were to join the EPL it would only be a financial decision and the rich would simply get even richer, leaving the rest nowhere. So it'll never happen because there are more of the poorer clubs who will vote against it.  Which is good.\n\n5. Man. United are probably the only club in England who can match and better Celtic's level of support..so they are a bad example to use.\n\n6. You just got stuffed by a very average Benfica side, so I think that should indicate the level of European football Celtic are actually at currently. 1967 was long,long,long time ago\n\n7. Gotta admire your confidence, but there's no way on Earth that Celtic are gonna "pump" Man. United. At best, they might sneak a 1-0 win.\n\n8. "pump" ??? Down here, that means something else.....

Everyone go's on and on about how brilliant Keane is yet i have still to see him play his best at celtic, i think everyone needs to remember football is a TEAM game and they wont get to the last 16 baised on how keane or petrov play there will be another 9 men on the park. also they gotta remember they straight into the group stages so they wont need to play as many games as rangers to get there IF they do!

I am a Rangers fan and love going to weekly game too see them.  Especially old firm games (no where in the world has an atmosphere anyting like it before and after- a lot of my english friends whosupport Man U and Chelsea who have been to an Old Firm have never experienced anything like this) though usually there is a murder after the game in and around glasgow.  My Boyfriend a Celtic fan and took me to Parkehead for a game against Hibs, and it was nothing like going to ibrox. Though I am being a bit Biased there.  I have also been down to Tottenham and Newcastle games in Rangers testimonials.  Good but not as good as home

Yep, they'll be relegated this season. They still have to play the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool, Man-U & Wigan, & that's just in the top-flight. Bolton will do some serious damage as well at the Reebok Stadium & Blackburn at St. Andrews could cause another upset the the Birmingham lads.\n\nThe only chance they have of surviving is that they get their act together for the rest of the season, & West Brom slip-up a bit somewhere along the line...

Not in a month of sundays old mate.I bet on football and turn a tidy profiet most weeks.I had Chelsea to smack Utd by at least two goals at 11/2 and Liverpool to beat villa at 4/5.I stuck big wedge on both and cleaned up.I would bet large on ANY odds that Newcastle will fail.Do yourself a favour and go down the bookies and stick your house on Liverpool to win the cup and Barca to win the champions league(both without extra time being played).You wont get good odds but they are both certs.If you fancy a better return go for Crystal Palace for play off promotion.

Hey I have major respect for someone who is a die hard supporter of a club that might not necessarily be a powerhouse. Though I don't really follow Scottish Football that much, It takes a lot to be the kind of supporter that you are.\n\nI support Borussia Dortmund in Germany.\n\nHope your team does well this season!

Who can say, Rangers and Celtic are not in the top 5? They have among the most passionate rivalries in Europe if not the world. They play to full houses each week, I think Celtic Park can hold above 60000 and Ibrox (if they have done refurbishments) above 50000. Only Man Utd can top Celtic and Newcastle can match Rangers.\n\nTop 5:\nMan Utd\nCeltic\nRangers\nNewcastle\nChelsea (I think their capacity exceeds Anfield)

I don't think so. The problem with the Reds is that Benitez tries to many combinations and players don't have enough time to get used to each other tactics. A poor form in the skipper Gerrard and a lack of finish away from home( they haven't scored away in over 9 hrs) is what the reds are lacking. I hope they will win some silverware this season because they're a good team.

You are entitled to your opinion but there are plenty of Scottish football fans who feel otherwise. The Scottish Premier League is a competitive professional league just as the leagues in many other countries. If you paid any attention to the standings this season you would see that Hearts is actually ahead of Rangers in second place. It's not much different than the Arsenal, Man U and Liverpool domination of the English Premier League. It has only been in the last two years that Chelsea has come to power after its Russian oil millionaire owner basically bought the League title.

They Premiership or the English FA should never even think about allowing Celtic or Rangers to go straight into the Premiership.  They should start from the bottom like everybody else.\n\nCeltic may have beaten Man U last week, but this was literally a hit and run.\n\nSorry but neither team are upto standard.\n\nThey look good in the SPL because it is basically catered for them.  They have the monopoly on TV apprearances, sponsorship etc.  All the other teams just fight over the dregs.\n\nHearts had a chance to become a good team, but Romanov has broken the team.

I think we will do well against the other top teams, but I agree that we may come unstuck against the lesser teams.\n\nI think (hope) that we may do well again in the Champions League.\n\nMaybe next year for the Premiership.

It has definitely improved in recent years.The success of Cork and Shels in european comps has helped enormously.The standard of football was poor a few years back but since more clubs went semi-pro or better,the improvement has been evident.I am a Limerick fan and they are doing quite well this season.Hopefully they can stay at the top for the rest of the campaign and get promoted to the big time.
