I know they were selling champions league tickets but a full house against Saints isn't bad! Our attendances have certainly improved this season and last, we're pretty much getting as close to a sell out as we can get these days, excluding Champions League and games against the rangers.

Coinciding with Rangers* "return" which would suggest that whilst Celtic don't need their old rivals (even in their new form) to survive, the do need them to thrive. Understandable as football is built the world over on local rivalries such as these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bringing in a manager of Rodgers calibre, the football we are playing and an undefeated domestic season certainly contributed to it also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely goes to show that you should be careful what you wish for. Most Hearts fans I know are happy Hibs are back up depite the probability of them pumping Hearts this season! Did Celtics attendances suffer back in the Grieg/Wallace era of Rangers offering little competition? Different era I know but that would be the worry in the long term for Celtic.

I think fans in general are happy that there'll be an Edinburgh derby in the top flight, whilst you do get the odd stinker, it certainly has the potential to offer some cracking games. If our attendances suffered during that time, it wouldn't have been by much. Pretty much from the 1950's until Fergus McCann arrived, our average attendance was around the mid 20 mark.

You don't think the same fans that disappeared during Dailas reign will do so again if the competition becomes too easy? Will the presence of a Rangers, any Rangers be enough to keep them interested?

Also, in my opinion, there will certainly be that section who'll love lording it over rangers regardless of how weak they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, he was basically the first player last year that Rodgers tried to replace. The problem was replacing him with someone who wasn't good enough either. Now means the next goalie he brings in has to be spot on, otherwise he'll have three first team goalies, none of which are really good enough.

PauloPerth Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Are there any extended highlights of the game available anywhere? I would like to see Liam Craig's long range right foot effort that went over and Maclean's attempt at catching Gordon off his line from about 40+ yards again...
