The Doctor Posted 3 April 2011 Posted 3 April 2011 impossible to call rangers or celtic a bigger team than the other. Celtic have the bigger fan-base, better financial state and the european success but the european success is in the past and counts for jack all while rangers dominate the domestic game as they have done.
lcfc"weasel" Posted 3 April 2011 Posted 3 April 2011 It is fair to say that both Old Firm teams are neither 'bigger' than the other. Both are better than others in some areas.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 3 April 2011 Posted 3 April 2011 Without being argumentative can I ask why? Just genuinely intrigued. Just never liked them, especially as a youth when it seemed like they were fishing for O'Neill. To add, I'd Celtic and Rangers are pretty much on a par in terms of 'size.'

Finnegan Posted 3 April 2011 Posted 3 April 2011 The rest of the SPL would be so much fucking happier without the old firm. Might even be able to keep their players n'all.
The Doctor Posted 3 April 2011 Posted 3 April 2011 The rest of the SPL would be so much ****ing happier without the old firm. why? Without the old firm they wouldn't exist, our shit excuse for a league system is kept afloat by celtic and rangers.
Finnegan Posted 3 April 2011 Posted 3 April 2011 why? Without the old firm they wouldn't exist, our shit excuse for a league system is kept afloat by celtic and rangers. Of course they'd exist. They'd always exist. You don't need a vast wealth to run a league system, else they'd only exist in major nations.
Fosse Boy Posted 3 April 2011 Posted 3 April 2011 Guppy played for Celtic, ergo Celtic are a bigger club than Rangers. Hopes this settles the debate.
Jordan Posted 4 April 2011 Posted 4 April 2011 I don't get how people can say Celtic are a bigger club then Rangers. Because Celtic have more fans, play in a bigger stadium, and aren't about to go bankrupt.
The Doctor Posted 4 April 2011 Posted 4 April 2011 Of course they'd exist. They'd always exist. You don't need a vast wealth to run a league system, else they'd only exist in major nations. true however the league system in smaller nations usually reflects the size of that nation - meanwhile in scotland the stadium size and so maintainance costs, wages and other expediture almost certainly doesn't reflect the size of scotland, the SPL is almost reliant on the tv money brought in by the old-firm.
leicesterseddon Posted 4 April 2011 Posted 4 April 2011 I always thought Rangers had the bigger fan-base within Scotland, with Celtic having more fans internationally. Either way, we're splitting hairs. Obviously a club like Rangers will never go bust (the council would step in anyway if no one else took over, it affects too many people), but says it all about Scottish football. I mean take away the Old Firm and essentially you've got a collection of clubs that would struggle in our second division, both in footballing and financial terms.
The Doctor Posted 4 April 2011 Posted 4 April 2011 essentially you've got a collection of clubs that would struggle in our second division, in footballing terms. your arguement is invalid.
Ambitious Posted 4 April 2011 Posted 4 April 2011 I hope they get out of it as I don't like to Clubs die, I disagree with what your all saying, stating that Scottish football wouldn't survive without Rangers and Celtic, it would survive, it just wouldn't be as high profile, the SPL would be on the same level as the Welsh and Two Irish Leagues, I do feel there are Clubs with big potential in that league, such as Hibs, Hearts and Aberdeen.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 5 April 2011 Posted 5 April 2011 Riordan had a stinker against Hearts.
Guest Bilo Posted 8 April 2011 Posted 8 April 2011 Well this probably isn't gonna help..... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/12996888.stm
Finnegan Posted 9 April 2011 Posted 9 April 2011 What does it matter if other clubs do it too? It's Rangers that were complained about. What a div.
