There can be no debate about it. The Sporting Wing of the Ku Klux Klan must be punished for their financial terrorism.

    However, whether we claim them or not is a different matter.

    I wouldn’t be upset if we didn’t. As long as they are marked void, that’ll do me.

    Personally, I don't want them.

    But I do want them STRIPPED of their tainted titles.

    We will make up for them in the future.

    I don't think so, as even though they wouldn't have been as strong, TECHNICALLY speaking we can't "assume" we would have won the honours if they weren't cheating, LIKELY yes, but we can't assume.

    As long as they are stripped of them then I am happy, as long as they get marked down from now on as "void".

    I want to see the titles stripped, most definitely. I'd be disappointed in any Celtic supporter who didn't, considering it was us that they cheated out of them. We finished 2nd in most, if not all, of the seasons that they won the title through cheating, overspending and avoiding tax payments.

    Do I want them included on our honours list though? Not really. Regardless of whether they cheated or not, the fact is, we still lost games against other teams in the season that we missed out. Not just against the old club. I would consider these titles a bit "tainted" myself, if we were to claim them. Just mark them as void, laugh at them as they cry themselves to sleep every night, and then we can all move on from this fiasco.

    I wouldn't want their tainted titles either.:38:I'm actually angry it's all came to this.If there was one team in Scotland who were filthy cheats it was only ever going to be one,now the World knows it,thank * they're dead.The Newco should never be allowed to damage Scottish football like their predecessors have.

    2003 (goal difference)

    2005 (1 point)

    2009 (4 points)

    2010 (6 points)

    2011 (1 point)

    Quite marginal. Cheating undoubtedly makes a difference.

    Incidentally, we’ve won all of our titles in recent times (apart from 3IAR) by double figures.

    I want them stripped first and foremost. Considering Inter were awarded the 06 Serie A title there is a precedent for awarding the league title to the runners up.

    Stripped and the trophies/ record books to show next to their name- revoked due to cheating.

    Giving us the titles can't bring back the elation of winning the league though and by engraving the trophies "revoked due to cheating" it will enable their eternal shame to be seen and known of for generations.
