It is no different to a period in the late 80's and 90's where the league was a one horse race.Scottish football is stronger now that it was 2 years ago without a doubt because clubs have started to cut their cloth Hearts excepted but their troubles are akin to that lots too.

Look I know you don't like to accept that I am right but on you go if you want to argue til you are blue in the face.No pun intended.;)

What do you mean "cut their cloth"

And why is it stronger right now ? Or should I say how exactly is it stronger when the title is done and dusted already ?

Not sure if the link works, but it should be proof enough that Rangers are the same club. Pretty sure it will disappoint you, but hey ho the truths the truth.

Now, If you all want a good scottish football story Google 'celtic fc, co-op bank, glasgow council, Labour party and dodgy land deals'. It's really interesting. Currently being investigated by the EU never mind UEFA!!

State Aid?? Now that's naughty. Not to mention against EU law and UEFA FFP rules.

Now, I really am out. :)

So this ECA what do they actually govern. I mean UEFA have the champions league and govern European football what does this crowd do?

:rofl: so state aid is paying more than the market value. How does that work.

Now, I have neither the time nor the inclination to spell it all out to you, it's all out there for those interested enough to look, so here's a very very basic notion of what went on.

The land was sold as contaminated (cheaply), that day the banks gave loans at favourable rates on the same land, the lands worth at that time had been VASTLY inflated. Bought from GCC (no need to point out the connections with cfc there). That bit there is State Aid chris. So celtic could build a training ground.

Trust me, if this one gets proven, they will be in a world of trouble. And it ain't the only deal being looked at.

Now, I have proven Rangers are the same club, provided a link to do so and I really must go, my roasted cheese is waiting.

Sorry to burst your bubble :(

SCOTZINE???? Lol lol lol that the best you can come up with? Are you aware of who runs that? Hardly an unbiased source.lol

Bursts no one's bubble. Like I said, I ain't got the time. You need to go beyond the surface and look t the minutes of the meetings where these deals were broached and pay attention to board members etc. FOI is how you find out the people involved, all with proven links to GCC and cfc and its all out there now.
Mind you, it could all be swept under the carpet as usual, eh?
 
Lol my bitterness? Reckon I put out a decent argument proving my original point and some couldn't or wouldn't accept it. It's a two way street when ye have a pop you know, some have a wee pop back.

One thing I'm not is bitter, it's only a game and win lose or draw I still have to work on Monday morning, so treat it as the game it is. You on the other hand....well.....

If Celtic are so dominant in Scottish football all the experts on here will know how many rounds they got through in the two Scottish Cups.

Cups are Cups - they include one off matches where one defeat puts a team out

They should never ever be a barometer towards a team

You can't judge a team on cups alone

The league is what shows you the state of the game in the country

So Liverpool's European Cup wins were not worth a bucket of lard ?





or


is that different?

Eh ?

What sort of tangent is that ?

You can't judge a club on cups "ALONE"

When did I say that winning a cup were not worth anything ?

That's the ones I saw too, though not from BBC.

Seems some Scots don't keep up with Scottish football!

Presuming that was related to my post, you need to read my post again! Where did I state 'all'? There's, unfortunately, certainly a 'significant' number, as there is in the pro-Rangers ranks imo.

Always promised myself that I wouldn't get involved in the football debates and I'm not going into the are they/aren't they the same club and all the other stuff but have got a couple of questions if anyone knows the answer. Did Rangers own Ibrox before they went bust? And if they did, why wasn't it seized and sold to pay some of their debts?

They did and it was.
 
What kind of bemuses me is that the wider UK media still report RR beating The Rangers as a major upset! It wasn't. I can tell you who St Johnstone would rather have had in the Scottish Cup Semi if given a choice between Aberdeen and The Rangers. Bit of a nuisance that we got the Dons.
