Looking like Maeda going to go down south in January, big party at tavs hoose then. 😛.
14 Nov 2025 13:19:35
I believe hi transfer fell through at last minute in last transfer window, so think he'll definitely be away shota.
14 Nov 2025 14:11:36
Better let Tav oot his pocket😉😬.
12 Nov 2025 09:17:51
Does anyone know anything about this Columbus Crewe manager Celtic are linked with? Seems like they could soon be confirmed as Nancy Bhoys.
12 Nov 2025 16:53:39
Kaiser I confess I actually had to use Google to find out who he was. I don't mean that disrespectfully I just didn't know.
12 Nov 2025 18:46:19
I remember seeing the name listed on the odds for next Rangers manager but he was pretty far down the list.
Heard him described as a 'new age' manager which sounds like something that might have been said about Russell Martin. Certainly won't lose any sleep if they get him to sign on the dotted line.
13 Nov 2025 00:39:12
I think he's a cheap option for them.
Bring him here from America he'll think he's won a watch and just be glad to be here.
Similar to Ronny diella when he got the job, I think they're taking the cheap option and I'll be honest here I think they're going to regret it.
This could be the start of the tables turning.
I still famcy hearts for the title but if we can do well and get 2nd place that's a good recovery from us.
14 Nov 2025 06:51:22
Can't see it being Nancy, four years in management in Canada and USA, reading he was managing a under 14 girls side five years ago, think the goldfish bowl of Glasgow would probably be too much for him.
11 Nov 2025 23:47:08
Asathor I read the teams u set out as the league 1 and league 2 prototype set ups.
I wouldn't have looked be very excited by that set up and league mate.
Absolutely it gives all our nationality's involved a much needed boost.
The money would improve our smaller teams abilities and I think it's a cracking idea.
If other countries wanted to I'm in the future they could apply and the set up could be altered.
I'd be all dor it Asa and well done for taking the time to come up with it the way u put it across.
I have a great idea dor Scottish football to be rejuvenated and totally torn up and start again for most teams with 2/3/4 team mergers mate. I just have been too lazy to sit and put it all into a format and use maps to figure out which teams would merge ideally and so on.
It's the best idea to fix Scottish football, the chairmen and executive at clubs won't let it happen but it absolutely would fix football for the next 100 years.
Ur idea is good mate so keep standing your ground on it.
I'd be excited by it.
12 Nov 2025 08:25:44
Thank you Stevie, I will always stand by it as no one and I mean absolutely no one has offered a viable alternative.
It does frustrate me that old firm supporters think they are better than smaller nations just because of the size of fan base.
That attitude has led to a 6-1 aggregate loss for the old firm in Scandinavia this season.
Previous seasons have seen Celtic løse 3-1 on aggregate to København and 5-2 on aggregate to Molde.
Rangers have also lost twice on aggregate to Malmö.
Rangers do have a good record against Scandinavian teams but I believe they are the only Scottish club with a positive record.
12 Nov 2025 09:04:15
Asathor that is because Celtic and Rangers are bigger than any club in Scandinavian, and clearly turn over far more cash, all because they got 60k and we get 50k at home games.
12 Nov 2025 09:08:27
Asathor what is your opinion on stevie saying Celtic and Rangers would dominate that league? because what he's saying it true, we'd both turn over far more cash than anyone in that league.
12 Nov 2025 10:52:11
I disagree, I believe that given the funding and competitive league that FC Köbenhavn would win their fair share
I have never said anything about revenue my star.
Your arguments are completely impotent.
12 Nov 2025 11:07:20
I'm saying the teams will the biggest revenue generally wins the league Asathor, that is another simple fact.
12 Nov 2025 01:40:46
Stevie, there have been discussions, suggestions and outright fantasies about clubs merging,
in small amount its probably best, but, they have fans who would never accept this, this is nothing knew, talk of an edinburgh club, a dundee club, all the way down to stirling albion/falkirk or airdrie/ albion rovers
i suspect that same thing has been talked about all over the english scene too
but football clubs are often the hub of a community, they know they won't win the champions league, they also know they still won't win it if they join forces with their enemies across the road, this has been spoken about since i was involved and that's 50 yrs ago, i remember talk of Dundee and Edinburgh clubs becoming one, fans would disappear overnight and form another club, i suspect that might happen everywhere,
12 Nov 2025 15:17:06
They aren't better at this moment they are however much larger clubs than all of them
And they have potential way ahead of all of them.
To say they are not bigger by quite some distance is simply ridiculous,,
12 Nov 2025 19:13:21
Absolutely no chance of teams merging the fans wouldn't buy into it IMO.
12 Nov 2025 20:35:40
Dundee would be the best candidate for a merger, renamed Athletictco Dundee playing at the furryboots r ya fae stadium. Makes sense.
13 Nov 2025 00:44:46
I'm not talking about hearts n hibs merging here.
Down the divisions there's teams that really just are surging on pie and bovril money.
1 team per local area makes a lot of sense for these smaller teams and smaller areas. Instead of 2/3/4 teams in a small radius.
It won't happen lads as yous say, mostly due to the ones running the clubs 3 clubs can't have 3 boards so ppl
Would lose their jobs.
If done properly it really would work.
It's a pity as it could be good for the whole country.
13 Nov 2025 13:11:11
Asa who are the Old Firm fans are that you speak of who think like this, do you mean Mystar? As he was the only person saying it, I'm not sure where you're getting "Old Firm fans" from. Do you know Celtic fans who also think this way? I think it's in your own head that Old Firm fans think this way.
That's why you speak so freely about how bad our league and national team are, to try and justify to yourself that Scandinavian leagues are better, just like above where you're pointing out how many defeats Rangers have had in Scandinavia, on a Rangers site. 🤯.
11 Nov 2025 18:32:58
I feel there is still a lot of snobbery.
The Atlantic league that I proposed brings together UEFA ranked.
Norway 13th
Denmark 14th
Scotland 18th
Sweden 19th
Scotland has the worst TV deal from all 4 and is a league of anti football that is being left behind.
People saying it does nothing for the old firm, how about we try competitive football.
In Scotland we are talking about a league that has won 6 points from 11 matches in competitive European football this season.
For reference SK Brann has 7 points.
I propose a way to keep the old firm and Scottish football relevant.
11 Nov 2025 19:10:32
Following on if we just take this season's Uefa rankings.
Denmark 8th
Norway 16th
Sweden 17th
Scotland 36th.
11 Nov 2025 19:30:13
None of they clubs in that league you listed below will excite any Rangers or Celtic fan Asathor, that's the way it is, now if we could get Ajax, PSV, Feyenoord, Anderlecht etc that's a different story.
11 Nov 2025 19:35:03
I must not be a Rangers fan then.
All would excite me more than Falkirk, Livingston, Motherwell ect.
11 Nov 2025 19:42:08
Celtic and Rangers do need out, but we want a league with clubs like ours with a massive fanbase, don't think it's being snobbery, I just don't think they clubs are big enough, have a few that's no bigger than Kilmarnock and they can't get in.
11 Nov 2025 19:45:42
And my star what I proposed is a tangible realistic League.
It is not a fantasy league.
The proposal has a willing financial backer and would have a huge TV deal.
Holland and Belgium have voted to merge their leagues.
11 Nov 2025 19:52:10
Rangers and Celtic need better Asathor.
11 Nov 2025 19:56:57
Rangers and Celtic need to realise that they are a shadow of what they were.
Celtic have been an embarrassment in Europe for the best part of 2 decades.
Look at the UEFA rankings, all the leagues in question are better. It is fact.
Rangers battered in Norway
Celtic battered in Denmark.
11 Nov 2025 20:01:36
Asathor, I never knew that about Holland and Belgium merging, I'd be all over that getting both involved.
11 Nov 2025 20:08:37
It wouldn't excite me at all!
11 Nov 2025 20:11:22
Asathor still big clubs not as big as we once were but both have a massive fanbase like not seen it that league.
11 Nov 2025 20:11:37
That my opinion anyway mate.
11 Nov 2025 20:18:18
And the reason for not being as big as we once were is only because of revenue, stick us in the lower leagues in England, then both would become a big hitter, maybe take over ten years but it would happen, Rangers and Celtic need a bigger league than an Atlantic one.
11 Nov 2025 20:21:08
Sorry, better league.
11 Nov 2025 20:23:17
And you won't get one my star.
Both were not even remotely considered when the super league was proposed.
My proposal was the only concrete proposal that had financial backing.
Scottish football will continue to fall into the abyss.
On this season's rankings Scotland is below even the likes of Gibraltar.
11 Nov 2025 20:27:23
Asathor, That league isn't a good league for Rangers and Celtic, you think Belgium and Holland wouldn't get interested in getting Rangers and Celtic involved, we certainly need better than that league.
11 Nov 2025 20:33:07
Asathor your talking about Scotland, Rangers and Celtic are far too big for Scotland and the same with that league.
11 Nov 2025 20:39:14
And that is the attitude that has put both sides of the old firm in the position they are in today.
11 Nov 2025 21:27:36
Why is that Asathor, read you said Celtic knocked it back, glad hearing that because we should be looking for better, only my opinion mate, maybe a good league for Aberdeen, Hearts, Hibs just not Celtic and Rangers.
11 Nov 2025 21:45:15
Celtic knocked it back because they don't want competition my star.
They were happy winning a one horse race every year and Rangers fans seem to enjoy being part of a backwater league.
You can wish for a fantasy league if you like but it won't happen.
11 Nov 2025 21:55:03
You keep saying the old firm are too big.
They are not.
There are lots of teams with large fan bases that have not won in a long time.
I have given the facts. UEFA rankings shows that Scottish football is drifting into the abyss.
Believe it or not the old firm represent Scottish football.
What you have not done is given any tangible alternative.
How many times has it been floated about the old firm joining England.
The English don't want it.
And 2012 showed the entire world that Scotland don't even want Rangers.
My proposal is the only viable option to ending Celtics Monopoly on Scottish football.
That my friend is why they rejected the proposal.
11 Nov 2025 22:59:43
Asathor name one club from that league that gets 50k or 60k home games? you'd need a handful of clubs put together for even getting close too either Rangers or Celtic's fanbase, say it again, not a good enough league for Celtic or Rangers, that is my opinion and what you're telling me doesn't change that mate.
11 Nov 2025 23:32:25
Fan bases do not change the dynamics.
Come on man.
Manchester United is a huge Football institution it does not make them champions alone.
Schalke, Hertha, Køln and Bordeaux all have huge fan bases, 3/4 are not even in the top division.
11 Nov 2025 23:34:15
What is a good enough league for Rangers and Celtic?
Come on they have both been absolutely battered by us teams that are not good enough to be in the same league as the old firm.
11 Nov 2025 23:39:20
Asathor the old firm would absolutely dominate that league within 5 years onwards nobody else would win it.
12 Nov 2025 00:45:05
Only because Rangers are Celtic are far bigger than any of they teams Stevie, living in a dream if thinking their not.
12 Nov 2025 06:46:21
Asathor seriously, see if that was last season Rangers take 4/5 off Brann easily, took 4 off Nice who are a far superior team, Hearts and Aberdeen are bigger than anything in Norway, will a bigger support.
12 Nov 2025 08:39:00
Last year not this year, what does that tell you, u can't live in the past, its what we are doing now that matters, substandard players, financially hamstrung going by the general concensus on here, unable to compete, poor management structure upstairs, we have regressed, size doesn't matter or enter in to team performance on the park as things stand, so by that logic of we have more fans, we're world beaters?
12 Nov 2025 08:54:22
Fork, Rangers have went deep in Europe for years man, of course size matters, you've got Brann getting 15k Rangers getting 50k clearly have a far bigger budget fgs man.
12 Nov 2025 08:56:20
Celtic and Rangers would take over that league like they do in Scotland with having a far bigger budget than any they clubs in that Atlantic league Asathor showed.
12 Nov 2025 09:18:22
Some don't understand a bigger fanbase cleary generates more funds.
12 Nov 2025 10:47:13
It's normal for the clubs with the highest revenue winning the league.
12 Nov 2025 13:27:32
Biggest fan bases means notmally biggest budget.
Regardless of fan bases though. Biggest budget notmally wins the league in all leagues if sum1 had a look now at last seasons top 20 leagues you'll find probably 18 winners had biggest budget or there abouts.
12 Nov 2025 13:42:51
Why we always up against it financially then?
12 Nov 2025 14:45:54
Obviously not managing it well Fork, hopefully progress now, selling players needs to be a part of it.
12 Nov 2025 14:47:36
Stevie that's the clubs in the league with the biggest revenue, and they always have a massive fanbase.
12 Nov 2025 19:19:09
Good posts fork. Some Rangers and Celtic fans actually think they are bigger in terms of world football when we aren't anymore and haven't been for a long long time. Fanbase wise big. Club was small in terms of world football.
This idea is 100 times better than what we have now. It would also be better if you get the Dutch involved etc… I knew they were talks of Holland and Belgium coming together didn't know it's actually happening.
Fork it's pointless wasting your breath as some fans just don't listen and live in a wee world of their own and think Rangers and Celtic are massive in world football.
12 Nov 2025 20:40:39
Certainly far bigger than Brann.
16 Nov 2025 12:09:06
Another one who can't read where did I say brann was bigger? And I thought you weren't replying to me 🤯
11 Nov 2025 12:30:08
After the sickening scenes at Porkheid over showing respect for freedom in our country, it got me thinking. I was born in the early seventies and remember in the eighties and nineties that Celtic FC did wear poppies with guys like Roy Aitken and Paul McStay ( who were great men) totally respectful with even their support respectful?
What's happened in the last 20 years to Scotland, or is it the social media aspect or the Scottish Independence act, which has made Scotland a horrible place to live now? Just my thoughts guys🇬🇧🇬🇧✌️.
11 Nov 2025 15:39:37
What has Scottish Independence got to do with it?
11 Nov 2025 15:57:01
IMO, people in general have changed in the last 20 or 30 years.
Manners and common decency have badly slipped.
11 Nov 2025 16:28:57
Great men indeed yately. I think you're right with what you say regarding social media having an influence on us all.
It seems to be the done thing now to align ourselves with the stuff we see and read so as to fit in with the herd mentality.
I'm pretty sure if you were to ask many of those so called fans to explain their actions then they wouldn't have a clue where to start, being brain dead has that effect.
I didn't serve in WW11, but did serve from early 80s to early 00s, and I hope that the safety of myself and my family, and the entire nation does not rest with these clowns should the unthinkable ever happen. If so, we're fecked.
If the English leagues ever accepted us it would be interesting to see how these 'big lads' would get out of London say, having booed The Fallen during the minutes silence.
Just wee scummy boys whose parents can't be much better.
11 Nov 2025 18:48:08
Freedom? As the veteran said on the t. v the other day we didn't fight for this. Soon enough we will be required to have a digital i'd to work or use government services! Freedom?
12 Nov 2025 19:19:55
It has absolutely nothing to do with independence.
13 Nov 2025 12:15:51
Spot on Mark 👍.
11 Nov 2025 11:38:58
Plean just in addition to your question the proposed league was made up of 2 divisions of 20 teams with domestic leagues becoming regional feeder Leagues.
Atlantic league;
SK Brann
Bodø/Glimpt
Rosenborg
Molde
Viking
Rangers
Celtic
Hearts
Hibs
Aberdeen
FC Köbenhavn
Brøndby
Midtjylland
Aarhus
Nordsjaelland
Malmö
Hammarby
AIK
Gøteborg
Djurgårdens
Atlantic League 2;
HB Torshavn
Víkingur Reykjavík
Shamrock Rovers
Linfield
The New Saints
Vålerenga
Tromsø
Fredrikstad
Odense
Randers
Silkeborg
BK Hacken
Elfsborg
Mjallby
Viborg
Sarpsborg
Motherwell
St. mirren
Dundee United
Dundee.
11 Nov 2025 13:40:37
I'd be wanting Dutch, Belgium, French clubs involved in any break away league for Rangers.
11 Nov 2025 15:13:38
The Dutch and Belgian leagues are discussing merging. We need to try and compete with the top 5 leagues not join one.
11 Nov 2025 15:16:29
One thing I can say is no one has shown me proposals that would make me think this idea is not the best scenario for all our leagues.
We are all similar standard and our leagues are cut adrift from the top 5 to the point where it would not be unfathomable that none of our teams make it through the countless qualification stages.
11 Nov 2025 17:11:48
That League chosen by ASA does absolutely nothing for Rangers/Celtic and certainly doesn't excite me! The old firm were built for Scotland and Europe and even now we are not as successful, we should always strive to be👍.
11 Nov 2025 18:17:06
Yately that proposal would be extremely beneficial both in financial terms and competitive terms for the old firm.
But I am sure you will be happy finishing second, having 3 qualifiers to get conference league and maintaining your 3 games against Livingston, Falkirk and Dundee.
I understand it is easier to win a 2 horse race than a competitive league but we need better than to play against 10 teams that play the low block.
Scotland is being left behind by everyone in Europe because it is the only anti football league in Europe.
11 Nov 2025 18:17:15
Same as me Yately, nothing exciting there.
11 Nov 2025 18:38:53
That's your opinion ASA and not most Rangers/Celtic fans and it's a no go.
11 Nov 2025 19:42:14
Pretty mediocre list of clubs in proposed set up, suppose that's where we are now. Not on exciting game in there. Coupled with travel, don't see it as a starter.
09 Nov 2025 13:27:22
Tims criticising remembrance Sunday today.
Someone should tell old Rod.
They shouldn't remember certain Irish criminals then.
09 Nov 2025 13:34:14
Are u surprised?
09 Nov 2025 17:22:55
They make me sick.
I'm very proud of Remembrance Day.
We won't forget!
09 Nov 2025 17:37:34
No point letting it get to you, that's what they want. I respect my country and the guys that put themselves before others. Let them support the cowards.
09 Nov 2025 18:17:36
The thing these halfwits just don't get is that some of there older family members will have fought and possibly lost lives in wars, absolute imbeciles.
09 Nov 2025 19:20:38
Sad indictment of society, when the stadium announcer names 3 Celtic players who died during the war, and still they tarnish those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Scumbags there f n British not O'irish.
09 Nov 2025 22:00:19
Know a couple of Celtic fans who were in the army, regulars at parkhead and they despise the vermin that abuse the forces and Poppy Day, most of them haven't a clue about life.
10 Nov 2025 14:05:50
Shameful behaviour from a section of their support. They are an embarrassment to their club and country.
09 Nov 2025 08:30:29
I've got a feeling both hearts and Celtic dropping points today. Hope my feelings correct.
09 Nov 2025 09:11:36
We can only focus on getting three league points every league game now davie, winning games brings much needed confidence.
09 Nov 2025 09:53:02
To be honest I don't know if I want Hearts to drop points. I think it's pretty unlikely we win the league and Hearts have a better chance of stopping Celtic win another and shutting them up. Strange times. What do other bears think?
09 Nov 2025 09:58:24
We catch Celtic we win the league Teddy imho, let's see how many we're behind Hearts after the next 11 games.
09 Nov 2025 10:18:09
My star I agree. I don't think hearts will sustained their current form for the whole season. Trouble being tho can we get a running win of games together to actually challenge.
09 Nov 2025 10:52:56
11 u sure its not 9 bud😉🤣🤣 only kidding👍.
09 Nov 2025 11:51:17
It's a really bad day when we'd be happy at other teams winning trophies so as to avoid Celtic if winning them! How far has our expectations dropped!
09 Nov 2025 13:09:59
Still Blue, I'd like both losing today.
