Only read half the article. Stupid in the extreme. Who pays this cretin for his views. Lazy, poor and inaccurate. But toes the party line of maintaining the status quo for the greedy at the top who want to prevent us returning to glory.

Interesting numbers.

Even worse. Where's this?

No media outlet did. Don't think its down to any tv station or paper this time. Celtic withheld it for some reason.

Seems the "official" attendance was 32,500. Someone saying they contacted Celtic Park direct. Thats a shocker for a league game for either Glasgow team.

Imagine you're a tim in the forces and you watch your Rangers supporting colleagues at Ibrox this weekend. I just saw the reception they got at half time in today's game. SOmething they'll never forget. Now the Celtic fans in the forces know this will never happen at their shit hip. Poppies are banned. The forces get abuse year round in their pro-IRA bullshit. Must be a weird feeling right now being a tim in the forces. I dont know how you can be both?

Doesn't really say they're going after anything or they believe there is anything to reclaim. Just looking into whether or not this is the case (i.e. monies being withheld "illegally").

I'm in two minds about Hearts. Traditionally a team that we have the least aggro with. Almost a brotherly relationship in some circumstances. Yet they did vote us out the SPL and certainly relationships have been more toxic largely because of Mad Vlad. I wont be sorry to see the SPL clubs go bust, but Hearts would probably have been my last choice. If Hearts go bust and essentially that screws the rest of the SPL, does that harm our chances of becoming as "strong" as we were even 5-10 years ago? We are pretty poor right now. And we weren't exactly CL winners under Smith (part 1), DA, AM or Smith (part 2). However, if Scottish football is weaker, and it certainly would be without probably the 3rd biggest club, would that harm our long terms ambitions of re-strengthening our club and our position at the top. Even when we return to the top of Scottish football, that might not be as strong a position as it once was.

Beginning of a clamour for what Celtic want:

Warned ya!

Durrant over Ferguson. Can make an decent case for Barry, but will just be too divisive and can save and arguments by picking Durrant. Agree over Walter, with Frankie above.

Agree with you here. Although I don't find myself being as upset when they do get beat. The Wales loss didn't bother me like a Rangers defeat does.

I was born in Elgin. Left at 3 months old, never been back. Home it's another 7-0 to the Gers.

Really? And this continual rush to brag about how well they're doing without us whilst begging more fans to turn up just doesn't ring true.

The Loovens one is paper talk. There is no real hard evidence or proof we were genuinely interested and with all the great centre back signings we made in this period I find it hard to buy that one. Will chalk it up to Celtic trying to give it the "we got one over on them" crap they try and pull on nearly every signing (second only to listening to Celtic on the radio as a kid). Izaguirre one is news to me. Will take your word for it on Riordan but really don't remember that. I'm not expecting them or us to sell out a mickey mouse cup tie. But really big teams don't see their crowds drop to 25% for any competitive game do they?

Were we ever honestly in for Loovens? We signed Boogie instead didn't we? Just paper speculation that one that I dunno that is even true. Izaguirre is news to me. Were we in for Riordan when he went there? Seems like you're going to great lengths and distorting the truth or buying into fabrications elsewhere, to push Celtic's agenda. Only 14,000 last night is a good indicator that they're not the biggest!

Sounds like an imagined slight. The kind of nonsense you only get on football forums. Never known a captain to come running over and congratulate every player for entering the field of play. Gotta agree with BD here. McCulloch is good for this. It has been commented on this forum recently of McCulloch getting young players to get their head up after a mistake.

I would still it is daft to assert a table topping team is struggling in that division.

That is poor, no matter what anyone says.

Don't disagree. But that doesn't make what I said any less true.

The point is if you are top of a league, you are not struggling in that league. The difficulty comes when you get a bizarre scenario like ours where you have a team far bigger and better paid then anyone else. Many Rangers fans would suggest we should be winning every week (and we pretty much should). But you cannot suggest that top of the league is struggling. It's an oxymoron. Even if we all want and demand far better from Rangers that is logically incorrect. Struggling by Rangers high standards, but not struggling in division 3.

Not in this country. Leggo's blog on this was actually pretty decent imo.

At least 10 years off CL is a strange conclusion.

Good. Longer to fuck the rest of them.

Did Aluko become a free agent before the window closed? I can't remember.
