A lot of their squad are internationals as well, nobody else in the Champ boasts that sort of experience. If you compare their side with Newcastle's, I know who I'd rather have.

This is the Newcastle side that played against us, and the same weekend the Celtic side that played Rangers.
Elliot, Clark, Dummett, Mbemba, Yedlin, Colback (Shelvey 73), Hayden, Diame, Perez (Sterry 90), Atsu, Murphy (Mitrovic 66)

Gordon, Lustig, Simonovic, Boyata, Tierney, Brown (Kouassi), Armstrong (Rogic), Roberts (Forrest), McGregor, Sinclair, Griffiths

Apart from Shelvey, I don't think another Newcastle player gets in.
Roberts is a big talent, bit if he was one of the brightest prospects in British football he would not be playing at the equivalent of league one level.

Sinclair is a good player, probably lower pl and dembele is also good, but his scoring rate was 15 in 43 games at championship and 17 in 29 games in the SPL. Again he would be very good but he wouldn't be blowing the league away.

The idea that Celtic players would have had a better season if they were playing against better opposition is a bit strange though?
