Rangers will be back, Smith just needs time, some promising players in Burke, Murray, Hutton and have a good keeper in McGregor, the tide will turn again.

Good old Walter. 4-4-2 and the long ball with Barry Ferguson playing it square to the full-backs.

Are they going to get found out in Europe for many a year

It was good for Hibs to get through the transfer window without losing [iboth[/i of Brown and Thomson, not fussed about Thomson going especially for £2m.

Should be off to Hampden in March after last nights win, and would like to be there for the Scottish Cup Final aswell

Celtic are 19 points clear!!

Are we allowed to post Secterian comments on this thread? Or is it only the moderators who can do that as they lock threads?

You mean Shaun Maloney who won the SPL and Celtic Player of the Year trophies whilst playing on the left wing?

What you mean "Never trust a Protestant, that's what I was always taught.

"

Light hearted joke squire. Sectarian? Get a grip!



As it happens I was asked to lock it but if we descend that way again it will be locked again yes.

And then 2nd to 11th is pretty tight in the scheme of things. True, only 2 teams have a realistic chance of winning the thing (now which league does that remind me of?) but there's been some great stuff played by Hibs, Hearts, Rangers, Aberdeen and even the likes of St. Mirren and Falkirk so far this season.

But hey, let's all jump on the "SPL is " bandwagon

Both Rangers and Celtic would hold their own this season in the Premiership with their squads as of press.

With £30 million extra per year in TV rights, they'd be up in the top six each and every year within two years.

Rangers, next year could play 11 Scots.

Another possible signing from Hibs, Steven Whittaker, at right back alongside Weir, Webster and Stevie Smith. In the midfield Brown, Ferguson, Thomson and McCulloch. And Gow up front with goal machine Kris Boyd alongside.

Aye, for another capitulation versus anyone they play...



Boll**ks, they'd struggle in the Championship mate.

Rangers might struggle.

Celtic's European adventures have proven that they would easily cope with the Premiership. Put it one way, they are significantly better than City, and City are effectively holding their own in the Premiership.

If Celtic and Rangers had the Premiership money to spend they would eventually become top six every year in this country.
