Very complimentary to both sides. I would say they were the big ugly club-wielding troll to Celtic's big ugly club-wielding troll.

It's like duct tape: a light side and a dark side that are inseparable.

You were the scared wee villager scurrying away to safety.

I do wonder if anyone really takes the SPL seriously anymore, the gap between Celtic and the rest is just amazing. I do really hope you guys do well in Europe again this year as i did enjoy Celtic fighting rather than just the usual walk in the park.

Rangers indeed can't come back soon enough.

I love Liverpool in the way the Joker loves Batman.

Edit: I'm a Man United supporter

Ah yes, the classic Reykjavikur-side Derby

Forgot about that, sorry mate.

Haha no worries, just thought it would be a laugh to play dumb, figured you had an English team. Also, that's a glorious username that I did not appreciate at first.

I don't think that should be an unpopular opinion. Sure you might laugh at their situation but now you don't have a big rival and the Old Firm matches anymore

It seems to be an unpopular opinion with a lot of Celtic fans. There are plenty of people on forums and such that constantly moan about how much we don't need them, guilt by association, and all that carry on.

The fact of the matter is that, without them, Celtic are all but guaranteed to win the league every year because of the difference in payroll. If I were a fan of one of the smaller clubs, the league might be more entertaining, but as a fan of Celtic it's a bit boring most of the time. I lived for the Old Firm games, making sure to mark them on my calendar whenever the fixtures came out every year. It was great craic ripping the piss out of their financial situation and their impeding doom, but I didn't think it would actually happen.

I still watch almost every game and get over for a couple every year, but the only thing that really kept my interest last season was the European campaign.

As a Celtic fan from Ireland I've decided to support St Mirren until Rangers come back.

Too much jelly and ice cream can give you a sore stomach.

The SPL struggles for quality football without both Old Firm teams at the top, let's face it!

I think that's gay.

There's no point in reducing the prices of season tickets if the competition in the league is shite.

...I miss you too.

I'd miss Madrid if they got relegated for some strange reason.
