    Mark Hately certainly thinks we are capable .

    I'm not so sure . We have a decent squad that should win the 2nd division at ease but can they compete with the good SPL sides ?

    Last season we had a great night at Ibrox when we thumped Motherwell but were brought crashing back to earth soon after by Caley thistle .

    In the Scottish cup we were found wanting at Tannadice .

    So have our new signings improved the side enough to see us past these types of sides ? Of course it's too early to say but a vast improvement in attitude and application will be needed for us to hope to win a cup .

    A vast improvement from the manager will also be needed . His record in cup competitions is terrible .

    First and foremost the league is priority . If we take care of that and do it in a manner akin to how we all would like to see Rangers perform then that will do me . Anything else will be a bonus .

    A cup would be excellent but alas could prove a wee bit beyond our capabilities at the moment .

    To be fair, Stuart McCall would lie down to Cove Rangers just out of habit.

    I would say their chances of winning a cup are no better than they were last season, they've moved up a division but that counts for nothing. Have they improved their squad? That remains to be seen.

    If Mark Hateley predicts something I would be tempted to bet against it happening.

    A cup win this season would suggest we've returned to the days of kamikaze finances. Our aim this season should be to have a squad that can comfortably win the league. If it's capable of winning a cup, we've probably overspent.

    Hmmm. I'm fairly sure you have the second highest wage bill in scotland. Now, whether the current level of spending is sustainable or not I don't know, but if you're spending more than every other club bar us, should you not be hoping for better than simply beating the part-timers in League 2? St Mirren won a cup last season ffs <laugh>

    They are just links to newspaper articles where Celtic players and staff are talking about winning the treble . No big deal and only for the benefit of ST who seems to have never heard a Celtic staff mentioning such stuff.

    They don't link to any articles abut treble winning etc (or in some cases any articles at all) actually. Good effort though
