Both cheeks are currently at their strongest in roughly a decade or so though, so it's definitely not happening anytime soon. It's frustrating that Aberdeen only got a decent attempt together in 17/18 when Rangers were already back in the league, had they managed it earlier they could've properly had a crack at Celtic I think. Eventually the law of averages will have both clubs making bad appointments, bad signings and struggling with their fanbases again. If these instances happen at the same time for both clubs, and another club (likely only Hearts/Hibs/Aberdeen) gets it completely right (which 2 of those 3 are clearly not doing these days) then again, there's an outside shot. It'll take everything going right though, so it'll probably take a good couple decades. It'll happen though, I believe it... as long as it's not fucking United, I'd celebrate it. You dislike the cheeks less than you dislike United? If it were Morton I wouldn’t bat an eyelid and wish them luck, can’t stand the cheeks more than the ‘ton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably two of the most viewed match day threads on this site Every single time the new version of Rangers fails to win a game it’s a victory for humanity. Hopefully another pumping tonight to follow last weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a superb record for such financial outlay! Seriously. Joking aside. I hope you get pumped out ideally with a last minute OG, penalty or VAR awarded goal. It’s a nice night for some Belgian lager. Santé! St Johnstone won three. They won the Scottish Cup in 2014 too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Johnstone with a tiny fraction of your budget managed to win a cup double in 2020. Hope you get duly pumped out of Europe tonight. Let’s not forget that Gerrard won Manager of the Year that season, which just goes to show how impressive winning the league was with only the second largest budget in the country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubo_blaha Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Surely that's all relative though. You have no idea as an Aberdeen fan what its like to support a shite team like say Morton or East Stirling. Fans of those clubs would consider Aberdeen a vastly more successful club. On the topic of Non-OF clubs winning the league, its quite simple really. US Style play-offs is the way forward. You can set it up to guarantee at least 4 OF games a season as well as ensuring a max of one OF club playing in the Final. No-one would want it thoughI’m sorry but that sounds sh*te. If we finished 4th, 30 points behind Celtic and somehow managed to fluke a playoff against them then it certainly wouldn’t feel like a league win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folk said similar about the promotion/relegation play-offs in England when they first started. The choice is a fundamental change to accommodate the imbalance, just accepting that league titles and Champions League football are for two teams only, or waiting for an oligarch to spunk away silly money on a Scottish club for fun. Which, frankly, wouldn't be a whole lot better than the current duopoly (although it would be amusing). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
