Re: Rangers

Yes Rangers' achievement last season was incredible, so it isn't surprising that they have a bit of a hangover this season.
It's not good for the league though that there hasn't been any champions league money flowing into the league in a few years, with only 2 appearances in the group stages since 2015.
Even Celtic's finances are a bit precarious now apparently, and the Scotish league is falling further behind other european ones.
It used to be not much behind the premier league. These days it's broadly on a level with league one

I've always found the Scottish Leagues difficult to gauge - even way back when the team names seemed like something out of an RPG. But it is all about the money and they're certainly falling behind the English League.

Think Celtic have turned a profit for 12 straight years, if that's precarious I'd hate to know what 99% of English clubs finances are, f****d I suppose :-)

Re: Rangers

They would beat us every week. With a much smaller budget than we enjoyed recently .

But hey ho .

I doubt that very much.

They can still blow everyone else in scotland out of the water, but I was reading an article that suggested that they aren't as rich as they once were. And the lack of champions league money again isn't going to help.
I expect them to win the league though, and a competitive rivalry with Rangers might help retain a bit more interest.
There is a pitiful amount of money in the league though

Berget is doing well now that he's not playing for us, getting to play in Europe on a regular basis with Malmö ff
