I can see why Arsenal and Man United would be a bit apprehensive on Chelsea joining, it's probably about the only thing they have left over Chelsea that Abramovich can't go out and buy

I'm not really bothered either way to be honest, but I can see why Celtic should be in there.

I'd like to be there, just to be amongst the big boys when it comes to decision making within the game. Both Rangers and ourselves need out of Scottish football mid to long term imo otherwise we'll just sit and stagnate as the 2 big boys in the European football backwater.
If becoming a member gives us a louder voice then it's good in that respect.

Who was the last team to win the Champions league that wasn't part of the elite G14
Red Star Belgrade probably a million years ago before it was formed, i smell conspiracy!

I havn't said Rangers shouldn't be in it, just the reason why Celtic should!
Chelsea are a nothing team with money.

Why do you get your back up when there's even a slight suggestion of Celtic being better in any way shape or form than Rangers.
Rangers domestically eclipse celtic by far but i can't see where you've pulled the better European success in recent times from. Ask any top level team across Europe who they'd rather face and i guarantee they'd say Rangers, Celtic have a better reputation across Europe than Rangers do, much like in the 90s when Rangers were going out and beating the big teams regularly.

Bit exxagerated but yes your point is quite valid qualifying for Europe isn't the hardest thing for the Old Firm to do in the league in which we reside.

I can see the case for both teams to be there tbh, especially considering the civil war one team being allowed in and not the other would create

check the stats check the coefficients rangers are rated higher up than celtic simple really
