Big fish in a small pond as they say... What you said is true. I was over in the USA a few times and not once did I ever see a Man Utd, Arsenal, Barcelona or any other jersey belonging to a big named club over here. What jersey did I see over there? Celtic. Go figure

Celtic have given man utd a run for their money on the champions league and ac milan so I would say they could do well. They need the players that they could get if they were in the premiership. Only thing is they would loose european cup revenue . That and they would have a long journey playing london away teams

as it stands they are not making it into the champions league anyway. can't believe they bottled it this year. LENNON OUT!!!!

Ain't that the truth... Maybe we should up and leave the EU and for America!

... Actually on second thoughts that's one of the worst plans ever conceived. Carry on

they would struggle alot.2years at most and both would be relegated,why,,,,because both need champions league football for funds to pay player wages,they wouldnt be able to afford players to compete in the premier league and the players they have wouldnt be able to give der all week in week out,the thing with those 2 teams is dey really only play a dozen hard games at most so they can rise to the ocassion but asking them to perform week in week out would be to much 4 them.

Watching the two Scottish games today that involved Celtic and Rangers my question is, if Celtic and Rangers were accepted into the premier league would they last more than one season before being relegated?

ps this is a purely footballing question and not intended to upset our cousins north of Hadrian's Wall.

think they'd struggle for the first couple of years,but with the tv money that would be available in england they would become a force!.but when this was spoke of before the premiership said that if they came to england that they wouldnt take place's in europe no matter their finish in the lge or if they win the cup's. the money from european football would be badly missed, plus trying to attract players would be harder with no european football imo.

bhoywonder. lennon has brought celtic forward!!! look at the farse of last season. he's totally rebuilt the squad!!! and some great signings...kayal,izzy,hooper,stokes,ledly...to name a few.yes mistakes were made but he's a young manager and things are going the right way!! WE WILL BE CHAMPIONS NEXT SEASON I HAVE NO DOUBT!!!
