COYBIG HH.
 
Tbh I'm glad it's over (though not exactly thrilled with the tramps we eventually lost to).

It was clearly affecting the players. Now we can relax and get back to passing the opposition to death.

Here we go, 7-in-a-row
 
Forgot about the early kick off last night & turned over at 7.45 expecting to see the start off the game. Bollocks on several levels. I didnt watch much more.
 
Yep, Celtic will win the league again. No surprise there.

However, as Celtic have found out season after season, there is a difference between playing in the puddle of the SPL, and playing with the big boys of the Champions League and Europa League.

Unless someone puts substantial resources into Rangers* (I'm not a Rangers supporter), I really don't see the situation changing. There will be the odd season when another club will win, there always is, but I can see Celtic winning most years. Whether this is good for Scottish football is another matter of course.

*Rangers is the only other club with the status to attract big money, but it isn't coming from the current owner, who had to be dragged into court and compelled to honour his legal obligation to purchase the shares he didn't already own.

Why single out Celtic for their domination of their league? Bayern Munich have just won their league for the sixth year in a row. Juventus are in the process of winning their league for the sixth year in a row. PSG have won 5 of the last 6 league titles in France. If not a monopoly in place in a league, there's the duopoly in Spain, Portugal and Turkey, etc, etc. Sadly, it's just the norm these days.

OK, Bayern won, but are you saying that the Bundesliga has the same financial cliff that the SPL has?

The figures to the left are the average gate, to the right the season's highest gate.

Tell you something?

When Rangers were in the First Division, it was comical to see the gates when they were playing at home. It was sort of
