Question for both sides of the city, how can you say that Celtic have the best squad, for the life of me I can't accept that.
Never been so confident about us winning the league, Hearts getting the injuries Celtic not getting the players in we are looking good.
18 Jan 2026 21:19:23
Probably because it's because they are pretty much the same squad that won the league and if they hadnt thrown away a month of their season under Russell Nancy would probably be top of the team. Think that's all about to change tho. The business we are doing compared to them is exciting.
18 Jan 2026 22:12:13
Have we not realised what confidence and a decent manager/coach can do for a team. they are the same squad but like with Martin, Nancy set them back. they know how to get titles over the line so we can discount them at our peril. hopefully the club don't do that even if the fans do.
18 Jan 2026 22:12:39
They have the best squad because they've proven they can win trophies. We on paper have a good 11 that's being upgraded with signings, but we've won nothing.
18 Jan 2026 22:25:41
Utter crap imo ows, name players they have that starts for Rangers now?
18 Jan 2026 22:28:24
Rangers have better defenders, better midfielders and better forwards, say I've got blue glasses on if yiu like, but that is my honest opinion on things.
Better keeper as well.
18 Jan 2026 22:30:07
Ows look at Celtic bench the last league game, you should be shocked, can remember when we had worse on our bench.
18 Jan 2026 23:06:07
Question for All the above, WHO in the other lot would get in our team
Only Mc Gregor and only because of his name?
19 Jan 2026 00:13:38
Just accept people have different opinions.
19 Jan 2026 01:45:09
We have the best squad because they have proven they are winners! You feeling over confident is the same old same old, yous always sign loads of players every window and yet again the flame flickers on your candle of hope. You are the only fan base that gets confident, excited and carried away when you've won nothing.
19 Jan 2026 05:47:16
We've failed to beat Hearts and Falkirk on 2 occasions now something that needs rectified 2nd half of the season.
19 Jan 2026 06:53:26
Correct Angus- they have been over the course before so never discount them and MON is no mug - a few twists and turns yet before end of season for all 3 teams ?IMHO.
19 Jan 2026 07:10:00
A wee tad harsh on OWS there Mystar eh. His opinion. His point being similar to others they've been there and done it. Ours haven't YET. It's basically the same squad that went close getting out the champions league last year against Bayern, but had their confidence smashed by Rodgers attitude and Nancy's nonsense.
See the difference confidence makes with us because without it we were getting smashed around Europe. On paper just now I agree tho we do look better but just need to wait and see.
19 Jan 2026 07:19:32
Bhoy??, at least we've made signings, while you're lot continue to shop in Asda looking for yellow stickers?.
19 Jan 2026 07:51:32
At the moment Scrambled I wouldn't take any of them apart from perhaps Nygren because of his goals or maybe Hatate. But then it's not that long ago we were asking the same question about our players getting in the Hearts squad and a lot of us were struggling. Amazing a difference a couple of months makes.
19 Jan 2026 08:11:30
Seems to me last dude jumped because lack monies and MO happy take over because no spring chicken and happy to exist hee haw spending as of yet with great Tims getting very touchy. Cash rich? That's b@@@@.
19 Jan 2026 08:23:23
Current form I would only take Nygren but let's be serious with ourselves here.
Celtic are 2nd we are 3rd.
It's no coincidence that even after Nancy disaster they are still above us.
Until our squad starts winning things regularly we cannot claim they are wrong.
19 Jan 2026 08:32:45
Bhoy88 hardly just our fans, u pretty much describes all fans, get over excited with wins then think it's the end of the world when we lose. Your fans are hardly different tho going into absolute meltdown because after your board deliver multiple titles you might lose one cup.
19 Jan 2026 09:15:39
Bhoy88, You would struggle getting any Celtic player into the side that starts for Rangers now, you must be angry about us buying more quality and you signing nobody, a wee shame ?.
Aphelion this is the worst Celtic squad I can remember, they sold all the best footballers they had and replaced them with footballers levels down.
Let's be more honest.
Rangers were 13 points behind Celtic and 11th in the table under Martin, but we have a far better squad of players now, without me wearing any blue coloured glasses, they fans from the darkside of town can't be happy with the state the Celtic board have let them get in, some from the darkside are unable to take in that Rangers are back in town with the financial power for competing from here on in, and the Celtic fans that do understand it know Rangers are back in town, but we will always gets them like Bhoy88.
You've got O'Neill scouting players, how did Celtic football club get into this situation? saying that you will never hear me complaining but what a situation for getting into.
The Celtic fans are not helping the situation either.
I must add, I'm really so happy about the situation they are in now.
19 Jan 2026 09:17:29
Aphelion Rangers are very easily the form team in the league mate, joint second, from 13 behind them.
19 Jan 2026 09:17:39
Scrambled
We answered that old chestnut few weeks ago. Sure first half new mgr Tic all over us like rash, but 2nd half, tweak here/there we gubbed them bad, and at piggery. Oh joy to behold.
19 Jan 2026 09:22:20
Bhoy you have Kenny at cf, when was the last time Celtic had a worse cf than him leading the line? now I'm 55 in a few months and i really haven't seen it, Wayne Biggins was better player, that is how far you've dropped, you clearly see nothing.
19 Jan 2026 09:36:51
My star of course Rangers are the form team that is not what has been debated.
You are arguing wether Celtic are the better squad not wether they are in good form.
19 Jan 2026 09:55:40
And you could argue that Celtic have never been settled.
We can blame Martin and now Danny has done an amazing job.
But they had a departing Rodgers who was angling for an early release.
A bungling joke in Nancy
And now a second term interim in Martin O'Neil who had been out of football for over a decade.
We can't blame our manager and then say the other side have had it plain sailing.
They are above us and until that changes I will not be drawn into the who's better debate.
19 Jan 2026 09:57:06
The form team means very little, to win titles you need to be the most consistent team throughout and have the best attitude which we unfortunately have not been for some time therefore we haven't won much.
19 Jan 2026 10:20:17
correct Aphe. It is always the case that people can't see the difference between form and ability. one is temporary the other permanent. put Celtic players into our team atm and in a few weeks they would be playing well again and showing that ability.
re the young lad Kenny he isn't an out and out number 9 in the same way Danilo isn't that for us. both 2nd strikers and would play well if they are played there.
19 Jan 2026 10:47:20
Bhoy, let's reconvene when the dust has settled and see who has done what. Your lot have been in pole position season after season, which does count for something in a title run-in.
Rangers have momentum and are currently the in form team. As far as getting carried away - it's called belief, which many of our players have lacked in the recent past, and something Danny Rohl has addressed with the current squad, bolstered with new signings.
Still work to be done but are we happy, yes we, the people, are.
19 Jan 2026 10:58:17
Aphelion, Angus, Form? what I'm saying is we have better defenders, better midfielders and better forward players than Celtic, I'm not talking about form, I'm talking about better footballers, they sold all the better players they've had over the last few years and never replaced them, Hatate and Maeda ain't the same players, neither is Mcgregor and CCV can't stay fit, Engles is an 11m player my arse, I'm just glad the situation they're in now.
On the form you mention not one Celtic player gets into our side imho.
19 Jan 2026 11:09:54
Yet for all the better players we are still behind my star.
Until things change it is not a debate.
Ability is one thing, mentality is another.
Our squad have the ability it is now time for them to show they have the mentality to be the dominant force.
19 Jan 2026 11:30:46
Aye behind them by 1 goal Aphelion.
19 Jan 2026 11:34:52
Bhoy
You've got short memory. We gubbed you quick time and our ascendancy since take over by Rohl phenomenal.
19 Jan 2026 12:53:54
Ape they are above us on GD. But they have lost 6 times we have lost 2. If Rohl and oneill were in from start of season Hearts would be third and us top IMO.
19 Jan 2026 12:54:13
The key word is squad which is prob correct
But think we have the better 11.
19 Jan 2026 13:03:59
star they still have Maeda, Hatate as you say but they also have McGregor Nygren CCV and Tounekti who are all good players ands on form and with confidence I would happily take any of them to improve our squad.
we have lots of players who haven't been fit recently Souttar, Barron, Sterling, Cornelius. does that make them poor players.
on form what about for the time with Martin in charge how was our form then from those better footballers?
you then say it is about ability only to argue that not one of their players would get in on form ? could you have a word with yourself and make your mind up then.
19 Jan 2026 13:32:02
We shouldn't get over confident, until a couple of weeks ago we wanted most of our current squad binned and even in the OF game we could have been 4 down at half time. Celtic have lost only Taylor, Kuhn and Idah from the squad who won the league last season and have added Tierney, Nygren and a couple of wingers, so on paper they do have the strongest squad.
However they have lost a couple of key defenders to injury and that has weakened them. They still have a backbone of players who have won the league before who, if they find form, will be right in it to the end. We need to hope that our newer players are getting to grips with it now and can keep going.
19 Jan 2026 13:34:46
Angus, but I'm saying Rangers have better defenders better midfielders and better forwards, now they're clearly showing that under Rohl, I'm not talking about form and talking about better footballers mate, simple really.
19 Jan 2026 13:58:10
If u ignore the Nancy debacle like we want with RM. Under O'Neil Celtic have scored 22 and only conceded 2 domestically including 3 4-0 wins winning just about every game and that's with Kenny, imagine if they did sign a striker. That's pretty good form too imo. Not wishing to to talk them up but original Q was how could anyone think they had best squad? I'd say that they've been and done it, along with O'Neils record with them makes it a reasonable debate.
That said I'm still very happy with how we're going and wouldn't want any of them.
19 Jan 2026 14:19:34
My Star
. Might question overall defence. Until we get sound CH I'm quaking every ball award.
19 Jan 2026 14:21:07
Bigdado I am not disagreeing with that my friend.
If you remember I was wanting Danny Röhl in the summer.
My 2 choices for summer were the same as after Martin.
Marco rose and Danny Röhl.
We finally got what I wanted.
19 Jan 2026 15:24:31
A fit Tierney is better than Meghoma.
Maeda is better than anyone we currently have along the front 3.
CCV walks into our CH positions.
Nygren is also delivering more than any of our players.
But would I take any of them?
No.
Because Rohl for me is getting the best out of our current group no matter the frailties within the squad.
It will also be interesting to see what the new signings bring - especially Olsen.
19 Jan 2026 16:44:31
sellic will spend hunners of thousands of quid last day of the window, they are run by grifters and always have been, they get in to a position where they think nobody can touch them then ease up, been the same since the 60's, Rodgers saw it twice and legged it.
Mr sunbed at the sore faces isn't a genius and he's got problems coming, they were a joke V Falkirk and he had no clue how to sort it.
