    9. 19 Scotland MF Scott Allan


    10. 27 England MF Patrick Roberts


    11. 9 Scotland FW Leigh Griffiths


    IMO, a team from the squad players, below, would be good enough for a top 3 finish.

    2. 23 Sweden DF Mikael Lustig

    6 Israel MF Nir Bitton. £3.5

    10 Ireland FW Anthony Stokes. £0.5

    12 Serbia FW Stefan Šćepović (if he’s comeback, I’d take him to give him a chance). £1.5

    3 Honduras DF Emilio Izaguirre. £0.5


    BIN

    2 England DF Tyler Blackett

    4 Nigeria DF Efe Ambrose

    49 Scotland MF James Forrest

    They could put the Huddle Hound in charge bud and we would still win the title. This latest decision will barely be remembered by the time we have racked up another 15-20 in a row.

    We welcome the ...eh, new reality ;)

    Cups aren't easy. You'd know that having spent 70 million trying to win the Petrofac Cup

    In terms of both quantity and quality, Celtic are vastly superior to Rangers and even the signing of Barton won't change that.

    I'll tell it to Mark Hately who actually touted quadruples for the Ibrox side

    I don't know if Barton will sign. He was up having a scoot aboot. Do you want the press not to report that?

    Honestly Dev see sometimes....

    The wee rolling of the eyes thingy was for your statement about the quality of the Celtic side which seems to be based on wishful thinking and a total disregard for reality or what you have seen this season.

    The Celtic squad is the best in Scotland ...

    Even when you cull some of the deadwood, the current crop of players plus ones out on loan are easily good enough to win no 6 title ...See my thread

    A good man manager will get that team playing consistently well. That was Delias main problem , consistency - we played well in some games , excellent in some , turgid in others with the majority being average performances . All in, this still equates to best team in Scotland.

    You won the premiership so yes you are the best team in Scotland. Canny argue with that.

    But to say that the current Celtic squad is "vastly" superior to Rangers is fantasy. Rangers will have to strengthen and look like doing so. Celtic need to do the same. They also need to get rid of a fair few players. There is certainly quantity at Celtic park, not so much quality I'd say.
