The Rangers

(and NI as well? I don't know whether they have separate leagues to Ireland?).

Yeah there is. I played for teams in both the League of Ireland (Republic) and the Irish League (Northern Ireland) now called the Northern Ireland Football League I think.

Although Derry City play in the League of Ireland competition. Standard in both leagues wasn't great when I played and I'm sure it hasn't improved much in the near 20 years since I did. Don't think it would be much of a comp and even now if Celtic and Rangers went down south they would both struggle to establish in the top tier. Might have been a different story 10-15 years ago???

You obviously have idea of what money brings to a football club.
In the EPL Celtic would be one of the main buying clubs supported by guaranteed 60,000 home game crowds and a wide TV audience.
If you think Celtic would not compete with the likes of Watford, Bournemouth, Liverpool, Leicester, Sunderland, Newcastle, QPR, Naarwich, Hull, Cardiff, Fulham etc etc you are seriously out of touch.

How about Leeds - size of club doesn't guarantee anything nor does size of crowds

Believe you vastly over estimate the appeal of Celtic beyond Glasgow

Leeds were never a big club. They did well for a few years under Revie but before and after they were not up to much.

Celtic and Liverpool probably equate to each other, both big clubs with a large Irish following.

:rofl:

Of course Leeds were and still are a big club

Liverpool have a bit more than a large Irish following but Liverpool isn't what the thread is about is it Doon

What you say is very true however Celtic have one of the shrewdest business men in football at the top of their tree.

Don't underestimate what Celtic could do given similar resources to even the likes of Tottenham.
 
almost feeling sorry for fans of The Rangers having had what looks like bunch chancers trying to make a swift buck off the back of the club - when the club had no money. Looking forward to welcoming a nevertheless somewhat chastened club and support back into the Premiership next season.

I'd agree with this re Celtic, doubt it will ever happen though.

No fan of rangers either but hope those 2 (and anyone else involved) get everything they deserve, right mess they've made of that club.

I don't think they would be a championship club as stated and I have no doubt they would have resources but lots of clubs have resources but location is a big key , European Football another or unlimited resources - it's something we have suffered with over the last decade
 
Let me throw a curve ball.

Lots of anger thrown at Green and Whyte and rightly so but lets not forget that had Murray not mad the pigs ear of the finances he did trying to massage his overly inflated ego, Rangers would still be in the top flight, fighting tooth and nail for the title and Scottish football MAY be a bit more rosier than it is now.

Green and Whyte fleeced the creditors and fans after the share issue and should rightly pay a long visit to the big hoose but MURRAY is the guy to blame for it all IMO.
 
It must have been noted before but Rangers biggest rivals are synonymous with Green and White and Rangers had two alleged crooks nearly bring them down called green and Whyte, You couldn't write it.
