Whatever the quality of the league it is important, it's potential history in the making. Juventus are going for the same in Serie A which obviously isn't a mickey mouse league.

Find this sort of thinking a bit crappy if I am honest. In football, as in life, our context is personal and comes with inevitable bias. This being true, it does not make it of less value to those experiencing these contexts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluearmyfox28 Posted 28 August 2020 Share Posted 28 August 2020 Seems like Celtic are going to be in for a huge overhaul, seems like 5/6 at a minimum could be on the way out. If Rangers ever had a better opportunity to win the league, surely its this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't lose sleep over them leaving tbh we could replace both it's just can we do it this late in the day and have we planned for it and have said replacements lined up. Would be a nightmare to get decent money for both and then waste it, similarly to how we tried to replace Tierney last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure I seen that Ntcham has only played like 70 odd games for you boys? Don’t know how true that is, but if it is true then that’s a ridiculously low amount of games played considering how long he has been there.

It is, he's never fully cemented himself in the side, he can be quite inconsistent if truth be told. The last year or so I feel a bit sorry for him though as we should have been playing him more and looking to start to phase out Brown a bit or at least not make McGregor play near 70 games every season with a weeks rest in between. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Testiment to McGregor though to really suffer with any setbacks with the sheer quantity of games he’s playing. Be interesting to see if McGregor’s performances improve drastically by playing 30 games less a season. 70 games a season is going to have a huge impact on any players performance due to tiredness and fatigue. To be honest I’m surprised your sports science team gives it the all clear to play that much. Edited 28 August 2020 by Bluearmyfox28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah agree entirely, it's ridiculous, I'm sure there was a thing where McGregor and Tierney had played more minutes than anyone else in world football two seasons running under Rodgers or something like that. It's not wise and I suspect we ran Tierney into the ground to the point that led to him having the injury problems he suffered for the best part of the last 18 months.

Yeah, we’ve done that with Matty James. We made him play thirty seconds as a sub and he’s still in rehab recovering. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame really because despite what people say about the SPL, Celtic do have promising young players. Like you say it’ll eventually end up holding these players back due to injuries, which will then affect fee’s that celtic receive for them eventually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, I was really surprised Arsenal not only bought Tierney but gave us £25m up front given he hadn't kicked a ball in almost a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our league has had 5 different winners in the last decade. No other league even comes close to that variety. I'd rather take lower standards of games that have excitement and unpredictability than the same procession every year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scottish clubs are trapped in a cycle that can only be broken with the introduction of finance poured into it. Celtic and Rangers have a ceiling and can only deal with what is infront of them. The revenue from crowds (pre Covid) is not there as there is nothing to attract crowds so just the diehards attend. Can't see this being resolved anytime soon.
