Popular Post Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 23 June 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 23 June 2019 Celtic are a bigger club but are in a tin pot league, we are not at their level in terms of fan base and history but, and it’s a huge BUT we are a good club playing in a better league thus making us more attractive to any players (or manager) wanting to play or manage in one of the most competitive leagues in the world, the standard of Scottish football has declined since the time when they’d poach our manager and players. Now on with the transfer stories ? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, the whole Leicester / Celtic thing is b*lls, Celtic a massive club in a small league. Where’s Leicester is an ambitious middle size club in the EPL.

Not all players would choose any premier league club over Celtic e.g Huddersfield last season or maybe the Norwich’s this season. Leicester are a stable ambitious premier league team, that’s what makes us more attractive than a chunk of premier league teams. Celtics fanbase and history are the only things that give them an honourable mention, with at the rate they are going, will decline over time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet they all thought they were established and where are they now? We need to enjoy these times as they won't last forever but please get a grip with these delusions of grandeur as it just makes us all look like knobs. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluetintedspecs Posted 23 June 2019 Share Posted 23 June 2019 Yes we are, no we aren't, who should really give a fvck other than Celtic fans who are a massive fish in a very small inept pond. I know which league I'd rather play in and watch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only do we have more money but we are in the biggest league in the world, are better known around the world and have/attract a higher calibre of players. they might have all thought that but none of them had billionaire owners, one of the best managers around, a large number of internationals at all levels and a premier league trophy in the cabinet. its a much bigger insult comparing us to Bolton than saying we’re bigger than Celtic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a premier league trophy, Celtic have won theirs 50 times, plus the European Cup. We don't play in the biggest league in the world, that is the Champions League and Celtic play in that every year. We are a traditional yo-yo side. A provincial club that hovers around the bottom of the Premier League and the top of the Championship. Three years of mid table doesn't change 100 years of history and not so long ago Bolton were in the Prem when we were in League One. If Celtic or Rangers were in the PL they would top 6 every year and sometimes challenge for or win titles. They are bigger than us, always have been, just as Glasgow is bigger than Leicester. It's better to just accept it and be comfortable in your own skin so to speak. Edited 23 June 2019 by murphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can walk streets of Leicestershire and not see a sign of a Leicester fan. Part of that is down to the fact that some Celtic fans would wear the hoops to their own wedding, but still Being in a better league doesn't mean anything in terms of being better know globally. Ajax etc are proof of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are bigger I agree, but trust me, far more casuals will know about us purely because of the title win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmono84 Posted 23 June 2019 Share Posted 23 June 2019 Celtic is a team I’m very fond of but Rodgers, who is a big Celtic fan left them for Leicester... that speaks volumes!! If McGregor has a choice to play for us or another club in the EPL he will grab it with both hands! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I would disagree, I know we had our fifteen minutes worldwide after the title win, but Celtic have fans everywhere, with the whole Irish/catholic thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If McGregor has a choice to play for us or another club in the EPL he will grab it with both hands! It does. It says "We've got more money". (At least while we're in the PL) That's why we are able to take players from bigger clubs like Porto and Celtic. Just ask yourself this question. Are Bournemouth bigger than Leeds? If you think yes, then we just have very different criteria for club size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegaffa Posted 23 June 2019 Share Posted 23 June 2019 Celtic are a massive club due to history etc... much in the same way that Liverpool and man united are. i believe the reason for this is that when I was growing up (I’m 40) it was either Liverpool or man united on the tv, which was aired free on tv, they was the only clubs some kids in the uk seen or knew of. then sky came in and aired the big teams (bias), and this continued. now there are more teams shown on tv, so the kids have options of teams to choose to support and watch. i believe this must be the same reason for the amount of the fans for the big teams in Scotland. this and the money now in the premier league allows teams to become bigger. there is no way that if rangers or Celtic entered the premier league that they would finish in the top 6. man Utd, man c, Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool would all finish above them and would be more appealing to future transfers than rangers/Celtic. there was a lot of money in Scottish football in the 90’s yet the better players moved down south at the opportunity. No offence intended to Scottish football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
