So this season the Premiership has been a three horse race yes, but at least there is an opportunity in the Premiership for a team to finish fourth get a Champions League place and then build on that with the extra revenue they receive. That same chance doesn't exist in the Scottish league at all. It is also not like there have only ever been two teams who have dominated in England. Bar a few teams competing with them every now and again, Rangers & Celtic between them have won the large majority of Scottish championships, look at the English league, and there are at least 5, 6 or 7 teams who have at one point or another been the top team in the country for a sustained period.

Well then with ur intelligent first remark about its only pre season, that leaves Celtic 100% in competitive mathces in recent matches with premiership clubs

On The Edge of Insanity:
Yes, they are 100% in their last two ties against English opposition, I'm not disputing that, it was the fact that friendly victories over Man Utd suddenly means they are going to be Premiership title challengers that I find laughable. Its obvious they would be a mid table Premiership side.

And Mac_10 I did read the remarks about Dundee & Aberdeen, and if you noticed what I said was "except for a few teams every now and again", I wasn't discounting them, I was just saying that Rangers & Celtic have dominated the Scottish league for the majority of the years in which it has been run.

yeh nobody is disputing that Celtic and Rangers have dominated but at the end of the day we will never know how celtic would get on as they won't be moving anyway so concerning where they would end up in the league, i guess we will just have to agree to disagree
