To be pedantic - Hearts have a bloody good shot at winning it this year, Celtic look beatable, Rangers are miles off
If there is a season where there can be a title race involving another side it is this one
To be pedantic - Hearts have a bloody good shot at winning it this year, Celtic look beatable, Rangers are miles offIts Akin to the Welsh division.
Celtic being TNS
Hearts wont keep it up. Celtic will win at a canterTo be pedantic - Hearts have a bloody good shot at winning it this year, Celtic look beatable, Rangers are miles off

Before the amount of TV money in the game took off, the resources of Scottish clubs was a lot closer to those in other leagues. As the gulf in commercial income has grown so has the gulf in performance. Celtic are a pretty successful brand internationally which has kept them somewhat competitive but even they have struggled of course.What are the reasons for the decline of Scottish football? My view is the reorganisation of European club competitions as subservient to the CL is the main one but what are the others?

Used to enjoy the old firm but the standard, and the in small / no ticket allocation for the visitors have taken a lot out of it. I don't think there has been a really good one since the original Rangers existed.Can say it's shit all you want not sure how any football fan can't enjoy a Glasgow or Edinburgh derby
I enjoy it the same way I’d enjoy the Plymouth/Exeter DerbyCan say it's shit all you want not sure how any football fan can't enjoy a Glasgow or Edinburgh derby
Celtic last year where very close to besting Bayern last year. It's this season only and it was a recruitment fuck up during the summer where they failed to sign anyone until the last couple of days.What are the reasons for the decline of Scottish football?

That’s probably why Rangers ended up going to the wall though and why Celtic were also perilously close to doing the same in the 90s - Scottish Football was and never will be sustainable enough to have players like that playing in it during their primeLook at these line ups from 2000! Nearly all of these players would be the best player in the SPL if there now.
Of course that's the reason. It was still fun though.That’s probably why Rangers ended up going to the wall though and why Celtic were also perilously close to doing the same in the 90s - Scottish Football was and never will be sustainable enough to have players like that playing in it during their prime
It's gonna be Gerrard isn't it...

I think there's some truth in that, when was the last time we went for Scottish talent Gallagher?Celtic fan I work with says the rot started with Souness at Rangers in the 80s.
They were an attractive prospect as they had loads of money and European football (which English clubs did not have), so lots of top English players went there.
He thinks that lots of the other clubs saw their success and tried to follow the lead, so rather than invest in young local talent, and the means required to develop it, clubs invested in bringing in players from elsewhere. As well as hurting the number of good players coming through, it also meant that good players would move out of Scotland, rather than develop locally.
So short-termism, essentially (bane of the modern world).
Eoin Jess probablyI think there's some truth in that, when was the last time we went for Scottish talent Gallagher?
even players who should have been goodPlus, they signed a load of duds too.
They're all Man U arent they?The Viennese derby has a great atmosphere. Don’t see weird English blokes with rapid Vienna obsessions though.
Surely FleckEoin Jess probably
And let's not forget rangers got the Europa league final not long agoCeltic last year where very close to besting Bayern last year. It's this season only and it was a recruitment fuck up during the summer where they failed to sign anyone until the last couple of days.
Depending on your definition of talent we paid Ross County for a left back who never played. Before that, I think the last Scotsmen we signed from that league were David McNamee and James McPakeI think there's some truth in that, when was the last time we went for Scottish talent Gallagher?
We signed Fleck from Rangers when they went to the wall in 2012Depending on your definition of talent we paid Ross County for a left back who never played. Before that, I think the last Scotsmen we signed from that league were David McNamee and James McPake
I had kind of erased Andy Webster from my memory to be honest.We signed Fleck from Rangers when they went to the wall in 2012
Pretty sure Pressley signed his ex team mate Andy Webster from Hearts as well

The last one was but usually it's full of tough tackles and great atmosphere. It's one of the few remaining games that reminds me of the good old daysAgree with @covcity4life and yourself, it's a great watch normally but all excitement has been taken out of it. Hardly any cards/reds etc now and the last one was a borefest.
Hell no, them signing Aaron Ramsey and then him missing the pen that cost them the final was one of the funniest things I have ever seen and I do like to think about it a lot as it makes me smile.And let's not forget rangers got the Europa league final not long ago
I'm sure it just slipped your mind of course
