Any fan who would rather win the spfl over a European trophy need there head checked lol both get us cl football but only one is a big deal it's no winning our poor league that's for sure.

What we want and what we'll get are probably two different things. Not just the league but a domestic treble up for grabs. I can't see any other team than Liverpool winning the europa league.
12 Mar 2024 19:20:53
Totally agree. 55 league titles in our history, 1 european trophy says it all really.
12 Mar 2024 19:24:38
Lets flip it, euro cup or 55 to stop the 10*.

Agree a European trophy is more prestigious than the SPFL but wouldn’t draw the champions league qualification into it. If I was solely judging it on that I’d rather we won the league, purely because it stops the other mob then getting direct entry. If we could get entry direct into champs league and stop them getting into it at the same time I’d say that was better than if we get champs league off the back of winning Europa and they win the league.
For arguments sake, say we win the Europa and get into champs league and they win the league, the gap financially is much the same, minus the extras gained form Europa run. However if we could get into champs league by winning the league and then they miss out, we are straight away closing the financial gap between us. Longterm that’s what we need to do. The odd amazing run in Europa won’t help us longterm unless we win domestically and stop them picking up cheques every year for walking into champs league group stage off the back of our good work towards the coefficient. as has been proved in 2022 when we made the final, still managed to qualify for champs league the following year and still didn’t really improve on the financial gap between us and them.
But as I said, I’d rank a European trophy way above the SPFL. Taking money out of it, it’s an easy choice to know what’s bigger.

Good question RTG, but an easy answer, 55 all day long.
12 Mar 2024 21:12:26
OMG were not winning the Europa League, we got beat off a duff Motherwell team.
12 Mar 2024 22:12:30
Europe is not going to happen. given our injuries and Liverpool. enjoy it while we can.
LEAGUE however is a must this year. PC must continue to get a tune out of his FIT? Players for a month or so yet (would even forfeit the SC tbh. )

All big teams left probably in quarters if we get through, give most a game over two legs but Liverpool in a different league and Leverkusen are a top team at moment, think the draw is in two halves so hopefully both them on other side of draw, huge ask for us to get too final, imagine a Rangers / Liverpool final in Dublin we could get banned from Europe for years if things turn nasty.

League every day of the week twice on a Sunday and there is no given we win either . A lot of big teams still in europa.

Asking loyal who are you to say that about people opinions. Is every1 else wrong bar you. let's put it this way if we were to win the European league then celtic would automatically qualify for the champions league so going by your outlandish statement on others opinions then in my opinion you would like celtic to get into the riches of the champions league also. just saying tho eh and that's my opinion.

Amato89, just leave u this Aaron fkn Ramsey on for Fashion, Fashion stays on would we have won? We don't know, but Ramsey missed, is that not close, unlikely but anything is possible, however futile it seems, just a thought, we may never, but people like to dream.
13 Mar 2024 07:53:05
Know what your thinking Bar72, would love the treble, just to see Lawell and all burnt at the stake from the best fans in the world. But being sensible, aye leagues a must and correct about SC, injuries may thwart that. ??.
13 Mar 2024 12:39:19
So some people would want the treble because it would mean celtic getting champions league money aswell, who cares what they get we should surely be wanting what's best for our team and imo that's a European trophy. They have 70m odd sitting in bank, just be even more of a lump sum for shareholders. As pc says we should concentrate on us nobody else.
13 Mar 2024 13:42:29
Agreed - What would Sterling (for example) be worth if we won the EL and what would he be worth if we won the SPL? That's the difference. If we want to seriously close the £70m gap, which we will do anyway, but to do it quickly, we should all want to win the EL.
