Lennon against all odds and with severe financial handicaps taking Celtic to last 16 in last year's Champions League (beating Barca in the process) or Rodgers (assuming Liverpool dont implode in the last game a la 1989) winning a decidedly mediocre English premiership?

Surely it depends on which one is the bigger six county fenian taig.

We should see which one of them has their eyes closer together.

I like to see our Neil do well, but I really couldn't give two fiddlers about the Scottish Premier. I check for Celtic's results and that's it.

By far Brendan Rodgers.

First Irish manager for 100 years to win English top division.

No contest.Leading a club (and Liverpool won't get out of the group stages next year) to the last 16 of the Champions League,from the Scottish premiership,trumps winning the most mediocre Premier league in its 22 year history

I think winning a trophy over a 38 game season is better than getting knocked out at last 16 of any competition.

By that logic then you would consider Cliftonville winning the Irish league to be superior to a team getting to the last 16 of the Champions League against all the odds?

I'm just wondering how the Louth man got a photo of Fearon. Now I am afraid to sleep tonight.

Last time I checked ...
P W D L Pt
Barcelona     6   4   1   1   16
AC Milan     6   2   3   1   8
Ajax Amsterdam   6   2   2   2   5
Celtic     6   1   0   5   3

Which is better, coming from nowhere to potentially win the premier league for the first time in 24 years or winning a 2 1 horse SPL and getting shown up in the Champions league.
