I think Seville was the peak for that side, and although we won the league at a canter in the following year, MO'N should have been rebuilding.

But I don't think the kind of money which allowed him to sign Sutton, Thompson, Lennon and Hartson was available again. And most of his cheaper signings did not have the same impact.

I think WGS will get a substantial transfer budget in the summer. Look at it this way. Rangers have a total rebuilding job on their hands and have less money to spend than us. We already have a better first team and stronger squad, we have more money and 3/4 quality signings in the right positions should see us continue to dominate.

Good question mate. Don't hold your breath for a good answer though.

Celtic are the dominant team in Scotland.

Celtic are the team from Scotland most likely to make a European impact.

We have had the longest period of NOT BEING FUCKING MISERABLE SINCE I'VE BEEN BORN AND I'M SICK OF HEARING YOU IDIOTS COMPLAINING.
Sounds like your complaining!!!

MON was given substantial money to spend each year but Martin chose to spend it on long and lucrative contracts for players he already had and some of which we are still paying for.Choosing to give Big Bobo a four year contract on £28,000 a week with a six month get out clause if something better came along was lunacy to say the least.

Don't see the point in this thread at all...

Hey, McGrain, you see what you've done now? you've made "all of us idiots" start complaining now If everyone put out little things thats bothering them, we'd never hear the end of it! If you're fed up with whats here, you know where to go.

Aye, quite right. If someone "supports" a winning football team and does nothing but bitch about that team, that's an idiot.

What door?

Of course it's your right to complain. It's also my right to complain about you complaining. You seem to be complaining about my right to complain about your right to complain.

I certainly didn't call everyone an idiot and i'm not against constructive criticism. But the level of bile directed at some players and the manager by some of the "fans" posting in here is fucking ludicrous. What i love is these are the same guys who complain about media bias. But media bias is green lit specifically by perceived attitude of the fans.

I've never heard Rangers fans complain to this degree about a winning team. There are probably less fans bitching about their fans right now and they're headed for second place.

Right now, Celtic can't hold onto a top player ONLY if a top team comes calling. Then the combination of player ambition and cash muscle makes holding onto that player to tough in most cases. So we're talking about Barca, Man U, the top dogs.

From the end of next season Aston Villa, Wigan, Fulham etc will also be making enough money to make moves on our top players. And we compete for signings in the first place on a British market, making getting good guys in the first place very hard.

In a way were better prepared than most. There is something special about our club that means some guys will just want to come here. Also we've been preparing better than Rangers in terms of scouting networks etc.

But it's still about to get a whole lot more difficult than it was.

No Bro, I don't want to bully you at all. I just get pissed of when I hear a lot of negativity about Celtic when I don't think it's neccessary. You've said you never complain - then absolutley nothing i've said was aimed at you.
