Jacksgranda Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 3 hours ago, RussellAnderson said: Last season Aberdeen had a fantastic squad and manager, developed over several years, with terrific balance, few weak links and a deadly attacking lineup. We won f**k all because Celtic had a squad full of internationalists and a world class manager who finished second in the EPL once. To say that it comes down to XI v XI on the pitch is wilful ignorance in the extreme. We could not sign Rogers, Griffiths, Dembele, Rogic, Armstrong, Brown. We could not keep hold of Forrest, Teirney, McGregor. This is primarily down to money. Our relative success on the park has brought in some level of additional funds (second place prize money, cup final cash, European trips, selling Jonny Hayes), but relative to third place, this is a small increase, giving us a small advantage going into the new season. The cash that Celtic get from the Champions League is on another level, meaning they can go get more internationalists, a better manager, and beat us all again. This is only just beginning IMO. The next three or four seasons will see Celtic continue to strengthen their grip on the top of the table, and after ten in a row, there'll be some degree of soul searching it'll be eleven.

So do Celtic. Being able to stick it to your erstwhile rivals is the major benefit of the UEFA windfall, domestic bragging rights rather than any belief or hope that it might catapult the club into European contention because, of course, it will not. Moreover, it is likely also true that Celtic would be better served by relegation into the EL rather than making it to the UCL last 16 because get to the last 16 of the UCL it ends there. Maybe in the lesser competition you could get a quarter final if the draw as kind. European also-rans is now your place and being the head honcho in our backwater league is as good as it’s going to get any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsr Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 The point is that when the bigotted hatefest against your zombie twin sister loses any interest value, Celtic fans will find other things to do on a Saturday afternoon.

energyzone Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Why do Rangers receive such a large allocation? I imagine if Kilmarnock or Ross County guaranteed they would bring 8000 supporters they would receive a much larger ticket allocation at Parkhead as well.
