Literally no reason rangers and Celtic shouldn't join the English leagues...

Wales was conquered and absorbed into the English crown centuries ago. Scotland is >never conquered

What leagues would they fit into?

>Celtic: Champions
>Rangers: League 2

Given the same money and opportunity as English teams Celtic and Rangers have the resources to be at the very least midtable premiership with no threat of relegation, if not challenging for top 6. The "hurrdurr they're league one level" argument only applies to right now and you're an utter mong if you think it would always be the case

>NuRangers
>every unfucking their shit enough to hold their own in the Premier
Celtic I could just about buy if they're smart with their money, but not the Huns.

didn't celtic lose to a bunch of police officers from gibraltar recently?

No the tie ended 3-1 on aggregate

pretty sure they lost the first leg though

Yeah didn't they blame it on the training cycle or some such bollocks?

Completely irrelevant given the two-legged nature of the tie. It only happened anyway because wee were essentially playing with 10 men on the field (Efe Ambrose is a complete liability).

they'd easily be relegated their first season, and be Championship midtable or relegation fodder the following season

why leave the only good thing they have going for themselves?

lmao no it was because we had this fucker in the team who is a genuine con man that masquerades as a footballer.

it's still pretty embarrassing

>these excuses
M8 come on

>tf
>tt

No celtic fan thinks our current team would be EPL quality, but given the same resources we could easily be midtable with top 6 aspirations

I am a massive cynic about >pur current side and have been trying to convince my mates that Rodgers has done fuck all that matters for our team, but in that specific game you seriously don't realise how big a liability that fucker was

anyway, metropolitan police fc play in the isthmian league premier division, so maybe that's the level celtic should start in if they were to join the english league system

>leltic still on damage control
And people think you're ready for the English leagues ya cunt?

>this tedious debate
you will never join our leagues because your fans are scum.
You would drag us back into the 80's because of your irrational hatred for the English and your lack of identity, making you into insecure faggots that fight over what sect of Christianity they fall into even though literally nobody in Scotland is pious.

>big clubs
>in Scotland

>yfw Swansea is probably better than both Celtic and rangers combined

The only reason these teams have any standing whatsoever is exactly because they're big fish in a small pond

In England they'd be Newcastle tier

Scotland B T F O

They're not going to be given that money though so how the fuck would they rise up through the leagues?

You're a fucking moron.

>What are sponsors
>What is English tv money

Is this the Aberdeen v Rangers thread?

Celtic would in the Championship and Rangers in League One

Rangers fans love England though. I don't understand why more English people don't seem to like or care about them.

McLeish sounds utterly hammered on Sky Sports.

What TV money and sponsorships are they going to get when they're stuck in league 1 because no one with a brain would want to go to a shit club like Celtic

Put Celtic in Championship and Rangers in League 2

Rangers fans don't like England. They pretend to because Celtic fans hate England. Rangers identify themselves as whatever will make Celtic hate them more.

Going to get sarcastic chants today in the 1st and 12th minute from Aberdeen fans to celebrate the death of Rangers.

Top kek.

British Premier League fuck when

There is literally no reason to have a scottish FA

How the fuck does the Scottish league work...

Aberdeen fans just don't give a fuck about the old firm, they hate both sides. They are the bros of the SPL.

11 shite teams kick the ball arounds and Celtic win the league and bottle the cups.

all that matters is the highland league

reminder that they already have plenty of these

it's like you've never seen them shill scottish football on sky sports before

Is Celtic/Rangers leaving the SPL popular with other Scottish teams and fans? I imagine the league would be more fun without them.

>aberdeen in charge of fan displays

Embarrassing

why are rangers so superficial ?

you are a sports team not office workers. put on a track suit you ponce pricks

The idea's dead for another decade at least again. Along with B teams in the league being struck off by the EFL, so was bringing in teams from outside the English system.

>71467234

The Welsh league was only formed in 1992, so before that Welsh teams could only play in the English league system unless they wanted to play in some irrelevant regional village league. When it was formed, some of the smaller teams moved over to the new league whilst others stayed.

There's Swansea, Cardiff, Newport, Wrexham, Colwyn Bay and Merthyr Town.

1# rangers don't exist anymore only a club that shares it's name

2# kill all southerners desu

Only after EPL bubble is burst

Right now there is no incentive except for the broadcasters. it would be contested by all clubs

celtic are ALMOST as deluded as liverpoop

the small teams are all cucks. they talk about how they resent the old firm but secretly love the attention it brings to their country as they are still nationalist

t. big strong erudite englishman

would have thought the gers were more deluded.
they thought for years they were the biggest club in scotland . turned out they had to cheat their finances and go bankrupt to compete with celtic . the only thing celtic fans are delusional about is being the underdog. in reality we're top dog and always have been.

conversation with the average non old firm club fan goes like this
>wahh celtic rangers just win everything
>celtic bottle the cups
>haha giruy
>wahh celtic rangers just win everything

Does it, aye?

>english man being condescending again

rrreeeeeeeeeee

It's kicking off lads.

>missiles being thrown

kek

scotland really is the balkans of north europe

>A season, which runs from August until May, is divided into two phases. During the first phase, each club plays three games against every other team, either once at home and twice away or vice versa. After this first phase of matches, by which time all clubs have played 33 games, the league splits into a 'top six' and a 'bottom six'. Each club then plays a further five matches, one against each of the other five teams in their own section. Points achieved during the first phase of 33 matches are carried forward to the second phase, but the teams compete only within their own sections during the second phase. After the first phase is completed, clubs cannot move out of their own section in the league, even if they achieve more or fewer points than a higher or lower ranked team, respectively.

>At the beginning of each season, the SPFL 'predicts' the likely positions of each club in order to produce a fixture schedule that ensures the best possible chance of all clubs playing each other twice at home and twice away. This is known as the league seeding and is based on clubs' performance in previous years.[5] If a club does not finish in the half where it is predicted to finish, it faces the possibility of playing an unequal number of home and away games. For example, one club sometimes plays another three times at home and once away.[5]

>The bottom placed Premiership club at the end of the season is relegated, and swaps places with the winner of the Scottish Championship, provided that the winner satisfies Premiership entry criteria. With the creation of the SPFL, promotion and relegation play-offs involving the top flight were introduced for the first time in 17 years.[4][6] That now means the Premiership club in 11th place face the Championship play-off winners over two legs.

Why the South American-tier convoluted system when Celtic are going to win every title this decade?

Allows for 38 matches rather than 44, which was deemed too many.

>reminder that they already have plenty of these
>it's like you've never seen them shill scottish football on sky sports before

don't be silly, there's hardly any money in scottish football.

the deal sky made for the EPL is over 5 billion, the deal for the SPL is just over 100mil over the same period.

>Literally no reason
The Premier League & Football League don't want their fans to have to go to the shit-tip that is Glasgow is why.

why do so many 'big' english teams have such shitty little stadiums?

only old trafford and wmbley have bigger capacity than that scumheap celtic park (and that has room to expand)

Dorus de Vries joins Celtic aka man of the season for forest
Cannot handle the Scottish League cant keep a clean sheet for 30 mins
Joey Barton joins Rangers aka man of the season for Burnley
Cannot handle the Scottish League nutmegged every game, Rangers are trying get him to fuck off
James Maddison joins Aberdeen, Norwich fans left crying
>ranjurs and leltic wouldnt even make it to League One
English delusions once again I would say.
Remember transfermarkt is as reliable as wikipedia
Im off now, I have typical sandnigel business I must attend.

>big clubs
they're literally sunderland tier

No they begged us to rule them which is worse than being conquered if you think about it

>Rangers
>big fish

but they've never won anything

And yet, rangers' best player this season is someone who's just joined from Accrington

Because of their self proclaimed dignity.

Wearing suits completely offsets their old club's refusal to pay tax to Her Majesty's revenue services. Much needed millions which would go towards the military, something they allegedly support in a superficial way..

Where is this top player sitting in the league again?

To be faie he's the only player who's showed up this season, he played brilliantly against celtic - it's shame he was partnered with the hasbeens Barton and Kranjcar

>relegation candidates best player is from a shit league

Gold star for you kid

>relegation candidates

Rangers played better at Pittodrie today than celtic did last year. On another day that would have been 4-2 to the away side

>7th

Wouldn't be the first team to get relegated in their first season in the top league

Literally never ever going to happen

Classic banter haha!

>Rangers played better at Pittodrie today than celtic did last year.

leltic had more than 9 points after 7 games last year though, this is really quite sad.

you're literally mid table, have other teams to worry about without comparing yourself to that lot.
