I wouldn’t say it’s meaningless if we’re talking about their potential if they joined the Premier League & had money put in- they’d be absolutely enormous, way bigger than Newcastle
Why ? They'd be no more a pull than west ham .. who incidentally get 60,000 a week , which is more than celtic
Celtic currently have empty seats at every home match , around 3000 of them
I don’t really care either way but I can tell you that you’re massively underestimating how big those boys could be.
The Mackems had better get promoted this season; otherwise it will drive them to distraction.
Interestingly they (Mackems) are hoping that the current Newcastle squad and manager down tools, as the writing is on the wall for them, and they get relegated,. They are hoping any new January signings may not have time to gel and save them.
They'd be big if a mega billionaire bought them, unfortunately that's how football works now. Otherwise they'd be average. In reality they are neither as they are playing in a dying league and i can't see why English football would ever need to invite them in.I don’t really care either way but I can tell you that you’re massively underestimating how big those boys could be.
I don't think I am , celtic fans travel well , win trophies most years , Newcastle get 50k plus every match , have won fuck all and travel amazingly well in numbers.
Unless they expand celtic Park they'd achieve no more than a west ham or a spurs
They'd also be up against a league where almost all the top owners are multi billionaires .. players will still choose London and wages over Glasgow, players will still go to much larger clubs like united and Liverpool over Glasgow.

Trophies-wise no argument at all there. But fans wise, there are millions of them, everywhere.
Personally I’d like to see it happen somehow just to see how Rangers & Celtic compared.
Who’s next in Scotland- Aberdeen? Hearts?
Top Dutch clubs aren't where they were for sure but it's no Scotland.I’ve said this on another thread, Celtic are a historically big club. They’re no longer major players in Europe or World football. Look at the likes of Ajax - massive historically, but they’re both lagging behind in current stature
I do get that, I'm sure there are plenty around but I'm always unsure what that actually means. Does having a load of barely Irish yanks taking a mild interest in your results equate to millions in the bank? I have no idea.Ok I get you. I was purely talking about their support base, which is absolutely enormous.
Here's one
Apparantly West ham have a bigger global fanbase than both celtic and rangers combined

Agree.It’s how many would stump up the cash and show up to matches really, the rest is just speculation.
Let’s face it, the SPL is a joke, Celtic are in a slump by being second best in the country- you can see why loads would lose interest when your season is over by September
I saw that, however those types of figures are not totally reliable as they include things like social media- number of Twitter followers etc
In all honestly I’d say there’s only Man Utd that would be bigger than Celtic support-wise if they joined the Prem & had money.
Then again things have changed, social media & what makes a ‘fan’- hard to know really.
We’d be subjected to the nauseating love-ins when they played Man Utd & Liverpool too
For me , it's a myth about the size of the Scottish clubs fanbases .
If the global fanbases were so big , the demand would be there and they get a poor TV deal even less than the championship
Just man utd ? My friend it appears you've taken meth .
Just to reiterate the absolute state of English football.. all I keep seeing now is this richest club league table, because bragging about that is a thing now. Also every social media post about Newcastle now has about 10 comments from random people across the world (mainly Arabs I suppose) to every 1 comment from an actual geordie. The cringiness is almost unbearable.

I can marginally accept you missing out some premier league teams , but Liverpool are a world super club in terms of stature and fanbase , belong with the likes of barca ,real ,bayern and man utd .That would explain many things, my friend
All conjecture but for me Celtic & Rangers could be absolutely enormous. They have no competition at the moment, and a lack of any meaningful games apart from against each other explains why the SPL is diabolical.

Celtic, Rangers and the SPL … is it me or is it taking over every thread ?
It’s like walking in on your Nan on the bog. It’s a subject for discussion but I really don’t wanna talk about it.
She was catholic btw

I sure that UEFA cup run was early 2000s. There was still some pretty good players at both Celtic and Rangers at that point.You may be right there, maybe I’m in the past a bit. Celtic played Liverpool in the 90s and Celtic totally took Anfield over, I think they played Blackburn as well and most of the ground was green & white. Since that time though Liverpool have grown, no doubt about it. Still- give Celtic (and Rangers) some momentum and have them playing in the Prem they’d certainly more than hold their own support-wise.
It was either that or Biamou m8

Yes they definitely won comfortably at both Anfield and Ewood (2-0 in both I want to say.) A certain John Hartson would have recently joined from us.You’re right actually. They beat both of them as well didn’t they? .. I clearly remember being fully paid up Liverpool & Blackburn fans for those matches
I guess you were lucky, as 'mid-wipe' would have been worseNah, it was definitely my Nan. She was mid shit
At least the Arab misogynists will get on well with Sid the SexistI do hope they introduce Sharia Law inside St. James Park.......see if their fans still sing "your just a town full of pak*s then....the fat racist barcoded horse-punching twats...
