Not sure whether it was Basil Fawlty or Brush but always good to see them get beat. PSG hammered Celtic 7-1.

Jose being Jose, thought game was all but wrapped up and just played for a point.

He is so negative and I can only breathe a sigh of relief we got Pep and not him.

Shows how shit the Scottish league is considering they have dominated it for so long.

And they want to join the PL? Jokers

I don't think there's any chance of Celtic joining the Premier League thankfully because it would only take 3 or 4 seasons before they'd be challenging for the title.

Don't underestimate Celtic''s size, world wide fan base and potential.

I think Celtic and Rangers would make the Prem more interesting so I'd be for it. It is great to have big, well supported teams to play. Hell, I'd even welcome back Leeds. The more big games the better. It'd take them a long while to compete at the top though I think.

Not sure what the "lol" is for, you obviously don't know much about Celtic as a football club. Give them the buying power of even a mid table premier league club and they'd be a magnet for top players. They've a worldwide fan base, a history and a respect throughout Europe that we'd be envious of under normal circumstances.

'Interesting' in the sense that you'd be able to get a regular close-up perspective on sectarian bigotry? Because don't kid yourself it's about football. Going to league matches involving the Hoops or the Huns, the atmosphere is hateful, spiteful, evil and violent. I've probably experienced more of it than most on here, and I can assure you it isn't just a matter of playing big, well-supported teams, and it is not great. It's about the crappiest experience you can have that is purportedly football-related.

There no doubt that no one wants Celtic or Rangers in the premier league and it's never going to happen anyway. But there's a difference between not wanting them and underestimating their potential (Celtic's especially) to do do very well in it.

As for witnessing the sectarianism between the two I imagine it would in the most part be reserved for the Old Firm games.

Wishful thinking, I'm afraid. It's the same bigots who watch their teams in Glasgow who follow them to Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee, Perth...

On the plus side, theres a load of pub standard lads who will be able to say to their grandkids "I once played for Glasgow Rangers"
