The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[screenexile]

Plus....went toe to toe with Porto in the Europa League final..losing 3-2 in a cliffhanger. Porto franked the form 12 months later winning the CL.

Wow Celtic were alright 20 years ago and even better 50 years ago fair play!!

It would be as successful as Italy entrance into the 6 nations in rugby.

Italy can't buy players.

If this did get off the ground - the "founding members" would have the pick of the world's best players between them.

Founding members can't get relegated either, so a couple of years at the bottom wouldn't be the end of the world.

It would be a complete and utter gamechanger. But a long way off!

They might ask Linfield then....

😂 I'll take the bait MR, and I'm not even a Celtic fanatic.
Nobody's pretending Celtic and Rangers are top European performers , but they once were. Even now , They are the 9th and 22nd best supported clubs in Europe respectively. The fact that they have very little competition in Scotland , and massive financial discrepancy between EPL and SPL has stifled their progress recently. An injection of cash and more competitive games would build on the very secure base of their tradition and massive support . On purely business perspective , I doubt this super league will be treating Celtic with the derision you do MR. Celtic for example , are better supported than fellow European champions , Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea. It would be guaranteed full houses for all games in Glasgow and the marketing potential of one of sports most famous rivalries would be massive attraction as part of this business model.

Deluded. Absolutely deluded.

Sooo record is 1 European cup 50 odd years ago. Been anonymous ever since.
Abysmal European performers would be more apt.

1 (one) European trophy in 60 something years. Clearly the record of European Giants.

Got to the final abs two semi finals in the few years after 1967. Hardly anonymous is it

I will refer you to my previous comment

This is about a club's potential to be a top European club. Celtic have that potential if allowed to play outside of the Scottish leagues.
Fan base is massive worldwide. Obviously not on a par with Barca, Real, Bayern, Utd or Juventus but given a more even playing field they have a chance of being in that second or third echelon of teams. Who knows from there?
Where were Spurs, Man City or Chelsea pre Premier League?

Yes, absolutely anonymous ever since winning it once 50 odd years ago.
You're the one that brought up Celtic having won more titles than teams that are in the ESL like Spurs and Arsenal. They've been to finals and semi finals too but the only difference is Celtic won it once. They're not top performers either. So by your own logic, winning is all that matters, and Celtic have won it once 50 odd years ago and been anonymous ever since. They can barely make any headway in the Europa league.

Imagine the rampant sectarianism from Celtic and Rangers on the European stage week in, week out. Would be wonderful. Sign me up.

And yet Celtic are still a bigger club than Spurs, Chelsea and City, just nowhere near as rich.
There are Italian, German, Portuguese, Dutch and Spanish clubs who are more successful than Spurs, City and Arsenal in Europe and deserve a mention for any elite league. But of course we know this is only about money and self preservation.

Winning it. Getting to a final and 2 other semifinals in an 8 year period would be top performing. I don't see anyone saying we are currently wary top performers. Or anything close. When did Spurs get to CL finals? Arsenal have been to one final and one semi final. Celtics record is better than that

I just remembered. Spurs have been to one final. They also made the semi finals in the 60s. A great record

Spurs got to the final literally 2 years ago.
You seem to be an authority on all this I have to say.
