Rangers and Celtic are Championship teams for me, they get mullered in the Premier League

Based on their current squads maybe. If they had the Premier League money they would be up there competing. It's not that difficult to understand.

Rangers have crowds we could only dream of week in week out, and they’re not even a capital 😂

Thanks for the lesson and I agree in principle. Their fans are entitled and used to winning (apart from when they play decent teams), it would be interesting to see how they react to a relegation battle or two.

They also win week in week out.

Well they didn't win last night that's for sure.

But they’re not

They’re historically a huge club and still have a massive fan base but a league that is struggling. So at the moment theyre in the same relevance of Club Bruges and Rapid Wien

It was a valiant effort.

Re: Rangers v Liverpool

Yes they are well supported but its exactly the same each season, who out of Celtic or Rangers will win the league. To me as a football fan that does become quite tedious and boring but to them i guess the crowd numbers don't lie and they love it.
There will come a point when I think they will join the english set up in some capacity for sure, thats just football and it forever moves.
They took a hammering last night and celtic haven't exactly set the champions league alight but i still think they are probably mid table prem teams in comparison with the standard of squads, don't forget rangers got to the europa final last year, no mean feat.

Cardiff City got to the final of the FA Cup in 2008. No mean feat

it isnt guaranteed by any means, look at Sunderland, they have massive crowds but they haven't been "up there competing" for a long time.

Re: Rangers v Liverpool

Celtic and Rangers are huge clubs, and would easily be comparable to Liverpool, Arsenal, Man Utd etc if they were in the Premier League, and on many measurements they are comparable now, even though they are in such a demonstrably weaker league.

Didn't watch the game, but I don't think last night was typical - remember Rangers were an inch or two off winning the Europa League last season.

they could easily be up there with the big premier league clubs, or they could make a complete mess of it and really struggle. they wouldn't be the big fish in a small pond any more
