Watched em tonight, they are really awful.
Celtic are no better. There is barely one player between them that would attract a Prem club now and thats McGeady. Even hes hit and miss.
Bar the passion of the religious stuff, I wouldnt waste the airfare to watch any match up there.
Never rated Kyle Lafferty and still dont.
Felt for the service men who went along tonight.

Walter Smith says Old Firm need to join Atlantic League
Don't speak of Politics, The Pope or Scottish Football.
FACT
Its not a big surprise when you look at the resources that they have. There are clubs in the CCC that spend more on players than Rangers and Celtic. Sure they both have huge fan bases but that can only raise so much money - the rest has to come from TV and their TV deals are paltry compared to the Premiership clubs.
This is why they want to join the Prem or, more likely, a Euro League with the top Dutch, Belgian and Scandinavian teams to try and get a much better TV deal.
Both Celtic and Rangers pay a maximum of 20K per week to their top players, most of their players are on sub 10K per week and there is no way that you are going to attract top players with those sort of wages.
Pay peanuts, get monkeys.
Indeed.
Their actions over the past 25 years or so have stamped out any semblance of competition, other than between the two clubs themselves. No wonder there is little interest in the SPL. No sympathy whatsoever, they do not deserve a second chance. Best thing that could happen for Scottish football is they both go bust.
I think the young kid Fleck is an exciting talent but as Falconwood says there's certainly not many players in their side that a premier league team would want.
They demonstrated that by the number of them that they spammed past their own keeper.
Cities like Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Kilmarnock could all support a Championship side at least and would, IMHO, thrive away from the clutches of the Old Firm.
With those Scottish Club on a par with CCC clubs they would be able to keep more of good scottish players and attract others back.
and long may that continue!!
The bubble is going to burst some time soon. It can't go on as it is.
Shite fans...no. Can hardly call either celtic or rangers fans shite. And as for the rest they stay loyal and support their teams watching shite football
Shite country...have you been?
Do you know anything about football or life?
Scotland is part of the same country you live in, The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
I've been to Scotland and some of it was rough but most of it was great, bit like England really.
Sh*** fans, my god, Rangers & ***tic have some of the most, if not, the most rabid fans in the whole of football. Not something you'd want to be spouting in the bars of govan & Parkhead.
Scotland as a country is fantastic, have you ever been?
Scottish footie is in a very poor way. Not that long ago they had World class players in some positions now second level standard the vast majority.
So now we get the calls for Celtic and Rangers to join the ENGLISH Prem League ----- how strange the Scots wanting English money, footbal develution.
As for Rupert, please ignore him he's a wind up merchant. Edinborough is one of the best cities in the world and Scotland is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Have a look next time theirs golf at St. Andrews, the views are spectacular! Also high spring water is standard tap water in the highlands, it even comes through your bath taps!
Not all Scots want to be independent from the rest of the UK.
We have a time share in the highlands for golf breaks. Now the Jocks there and nice and i have never had any problems there but when i went to Glasgow and Edinburgh they diddnt want to know me as i was from London and incidents at the WC's i have been too just makes me think all they wanna do is slate the English cos their team even worse than we are.
I can only go on my own experiences guys i dont hate all jocks cos not all of them are like this its just my own experiences i have only ever met scots i get on with in our timshare area in the highlands. Also if your experices of Jocks is that they are a warm loving peoples then great i wish i had the same experiences.
How sad that you base your opinion of a country on an element of it’s football supporters, I’m sure 100% of England fans abroad are angels. I’m not surprised no one in Glasgow or Edinburgh wanted to know you if this is your narrow minded outlook on life.
It was very sad to see Rangers getting spanked last night Seville is one thing, some minnow from Romania is something else.
Im slightly concerned that you booked this guy a break to London along with theatre tickets, yet only last week you started a thread on good places to take a date in London??? :-)
Indeed we just book the theatre tickets and hotels nothing to do with restaurants mate and i needed some advise on restaurants cos i had never eaten in the westend before as we were to poor for things like that when i was growing up :-)
