If you watch MOTD on BBC you'd think English football was good but it's pathetic and is only slightly better than north of their border. My honest opinion if Celtic were in English Premership they'd be in or around mid table. English football is so over hyped it's unreal, watch a live game excluding the top 6 and it would drive you to drink. The only way it'll ever happen if SKY TV say so but if i'm honest i don't know if i'd want Celtic going down that road as their whole spending and investment would have to change  and their ethos of being a club like no other could well change too. I'm not convinced but i also think in a few years time if the SKY money dries up there could well be a lot of clubs in England go to the wall...SKY call the shots

Not a chance with their current squad.


But really is there any serious moves in Celtic to improve and take that chance.  From the outside it looks like they are happy to be the big fish in a small pond.  They dont have to improve to be successful just stay where they are.

The death of Rangers robbed the SPL of it's only remaining thread of drama and intrigue. Based on this year, they're still a couple years off mounting a serious title challenge. How much better things would be if both were in the English league pyramid.

The English have done awful deeds over the world for hundreds of years .  Yet the still don't deserve to have the old firm in their domestic soccer league .

Celtic as a club have done all that is humanly possible now to make the best of their circumstances.They have recruited an alleged top manager on a huge salary and backed him to the limit of their means  in the transfer market.There is now no excuse.They should be able to compete in the Champions League stages and this is the real challenge facing the manager next season,after a miserable Champions League campaign this season

The real challenge for you will be to stop stalking and trolling Arlene Foster on twitter, it's embarrassing to watch. Has she blocked you yet? Mute button has been hit for certain

Rangers died several years ago, Sevco are no where near competing with Celtic in fact they have a long way to go just to compete with Aberdeen. I expect Hibs to battle it out with Sevco, & Aberdeen next season for the runners up spot.

Sevco should never be allowed to play in England as they're a new club and a more established club like Aberdeen would be more welcome and secondly the English could do without their thugs, racists and hooliganism.

Aberdeen would in all probability sink in England but a club like Celtic would eventually end up in the top 4 or 5 in the epl, they have the ethos and ambition to be the top dog,
Should that extremely unlikely scenario come to pass, Liverpool fans would have to cease and desist their chronic tendency to plagiarise Celtic anthems and songs.

The strength of the rest of the SPL can be seen in the Europa League qualification stages where no club   has reached the group stages unlike Dundalk and Shamrock Rovers. Hence why I am not willing to praise Brendan for domestic success.

Brenda now? Have you changed that on your FB post also to Brenda?
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Still willing to pollute the man for a photo. Hypocritical.

Unbelievable to think that Rodgers has surpassed all expectations in huis first season in charge yet some people simply cannot bring themselves to give him any credit. Getting into the group stages of the CL and winning the league title are the main 2 objectives each season and both have been ticked off this season. To be on the cusp of a domestic treble and and unbeaten season is the icing on the cake.

I am not denying Brendan Rodgers has had an adequate season.I just do not see the point of going over the top about meeting minimum requirements.Next season's Champions League will be the test to see if he can produce serious contenders for the last 16.
