The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Main Street]

Pathetic attempt from the interim SPL champs to add anything of substance to their league title after being beaten today by St Johnstone. Coupled with the humiliating exit from the league cup to St Mirrron, it brings a historic new low level of ignominy to the dignity of the offfice of current SPL champs.

Is there any story to explain (top 10 European club) Celtic fc's share price? All of a sudden it shot up by about 15% today.

It was mentioned that them and the gers might be brought into a british super league. Or just added to the current PL. Which wont happen.

It'll happen eventually. I can't imagine Celtic and Rangers being in the SPL in 50 years time.

Rangers and Celtic fans are used to winning at least 1 trophy per season.  When things go on the slide, their interest tends to tail off a bit (This thread being an example of that).  I'm not sure how both sest of fans would get on with perhaps winning a trophy every 5 to 10 years rather than winning everything in sight.

The idea that the EPL would let the sectarian hate fest that is the two old firm clubs join their league is fanciful. Regardless of money no club wants coach loads of Celtic or Rangers winos landing to their city or stadium. Both clubs would need to clean up their acts significantly before the idea would be even considered and the chances of the supporters reigning in the sectarianism is a long one.

Poor attempt at trolling.

Plenty of English clubs have been happy to see coach loads of Celtic and Rangers fans landing to their cities and stadiums for testimonials over the years...

I think deep down most fans want to stay where they are, as winning trophies would be a thing of the past

Yes who could forget Rangers visit to Manchester in 2008 for the UEFA Cup final.

It's a guaranteed payday for the recipient of the testimonial. Get Celtic to play they will bring 15,000 to pay £40 to watch a friendly as they're the self acclaimed best supporters in the world.

Okay. Rangers have won 1 major Scottish competition in the past ten years but apart from that.......

Probably not but you made a statement which was incorrect. Just pointing that out.

Self acclaimed? I suppose the actual awarding of that title by UEFA and FIFA kind of goes against that statement.
Anyway, any club mustering 15k fans for a meaningless game for a footballer unconnected with the club points towards fans who are fervent supporters at least.

Was at the Roy Keane testimonial in Old Trafford. What an occasion. Celtic supporters turned it into a great occasion the way Man Utd supporters couldn't dream of.
