kuznetsov 0 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I’m no Einstein, but 54 top tier titles plus 1 x 4th tier title = 55 titles, in any country’s league structure. Seemingly, according to UEFA, only top tier titles are recognized. I’ve also been informed, by Celtic fans, of course, that Man U fans don’t count their club’s 2nd tier titles when mocking rival fans. So what! We are Rangers, not Man U. Anyway, let’s simplify this and make it work to our advantage – combine our EUFA WR 54 top tier titles to our soon to be 4th tier title, and initiate a new overall WR 55 titles. This again will probably upset a few non-Gers fans, especially if we keep adding lower league titles to our static EUFA WR 54, during our journey to the top. Celtic may be closing in on our EUFA WR 54, but will not be any closer, numerically, to our soon to be new proud overall WR 55 and counting. not according to the club itself. it will be 54 until we win the spl again, if we win the spl again.

der Berliner 3,245 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 It will be 55 once we win the top league in Scotland again. So sayest the club. As I said, we won more than 100 major trophies and I would assume each club regards winning a league as a major trophy too. It is just not in the same bracket as 54 Scottish League Titles, as these 54 refer to the top tier (as they do in any league of the world). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDGE 0 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Winning a minor league isn't a major trophy. Swansea won their first 'major trophy' a couple of weeks ago by their own reckoning yet have won every league in England apart from the first tier. Winning SFL3 is akin to winning the Tennents 6's.

johnnyk 158 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 It's a trophy that will not be forgotten like some have suggested, or saying it's on a par with 6's but it will/should never be counted as a major title trophy.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDGE 0 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I'm not saying that I won't enjoy it, of course I will. It's just not that big a deal that the team with the £7m wage bill wins a part time league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuznetsov 0 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) I'm not saying that I won't enjoy it, of course I will. It's just not that big a deal that the team with the £7m wage bill wins a part time league. exactly, i do hope our fans keep their dignity and dont embarass themselves by celebrating it like an spl title win. we should take a leaf out of roy keanes book when at sunderland and refuse to celebrate promotion, show class and prepare ourselves for the next chapter of our return. this league was won before a ball was kicked, winning it is no achievement whatsoever.
