Mate that's monumental bollocks. The decent quality players who may be tempted to join Celtic in future will not look and say "oh oh, No Rangers, that means there will be no competition". The other teams in the SPL are "Competition" and any insinuation or suggestion to the contrary is grossly insulting to them, Celtic have lost a few games this season after all. Are you are also suggesting that the "Quality" players who are already at Celtic will be piling in with transfer requests if Rangers go bust? I don't think so. Similary regarding "higher levels" of football, no one gives a cuss for Scottish football anyway apart from Scots and even we don't think it's a "High" level so taking Rangers out of the set up for a few years will neither improve nor lessen the level of football we already have. Players join Celtic for many reasons, prestige and money among them, but I doubt there are many players who join Celtic just so they can play Rangers. It's ludicrous.
plus AFC never had any backing from so called "moil" companies. so run along and do some research laddie.
See, with all the money at their disposal, one of the so-called 'top' teams in the EPL has tonight been 'hammered' by Milan
Last time i checked we still had more trophies than you. Just checked again nothings changed. Celtic will forever be known as the second most successful team in Scottish history, forever and ever and ever and ever.

MD can I have 3 rapid posts with extra beel please? Celtic will be always be known as the club who put Britain on the map, they will be known as the club who brought attacking football to Europe, they will be known as the only Scottish club to ever win Europes premier competetion. Rangers will be known as that team who used to exist that won hunners a ****ey scottish titles when spending 100 times more than anyone else, trying to emulate their superiors in Europe while ****ing the taxman for 75 million and shaming their country. have a good one
Looks like the MingingDangleberry 19+1/19+1 has come out of hiding.......and he's pyoor ragin' that his team are deader than disco.
I can't access the link in work so click on the top link of this google search: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=e...s_upl=2453l7469l0l7531l29l12l0l0l0l0l0l0ll0l0 A particularly erudite political blog written by a self-confessed Aberdeen fan about why Scottish football, life, politics and economy will be better off without "them"
'The reason everyone’s putting out a skeleton service operating on auto-pilot is, of course, that they’re all transfixed with the goings-on at Ibrox. And rightly so, because it’s an enormous story which reaches out and touches the entire population in a way that politics almost never does. For fans of Rangers, their entire world has fallen in. For fans of other clubs it’s either hilarious, or a time for rising above petty rivalries and showing solidarity with their fellow supporters, ie it’s secretly hilarious. For Rangers employees it’s a worry, for battered wives, social services and hard-pressed A&E staff it’s a blessing and for booze retailers it’s a catastrophe.'
I would copy and paste the whole piece if I could Although, it makes it clear that it's anti-OF rather than anti-Rangers, it's the only actual financial sense anyone's wrote about the whole thing. The only pity is that I don't think Medro can't read this - cos it's on the Celtic board.
Rangers D-Day, Friday the 9th of March is the 47th anniversary of Big Jock Stein joining Celtic as manager From beyond the grave
Not when Rangers are liquidated and Celtic win the title over and over and over... Newco - Nil n counting!
I blame Alex Mccleish His comment " 132 years of unsurpassed dignity" from 6/7 years ago will never be forgotten .Suppose we will miss them for silly comments like that
