At first I would agree, however within 5 years Celtic would certainly be challenging. They are a huge, huge football club and with the handouts Sky would be giving simply due to being in the Prem, it would be a matter of time before they challenged top 4.

Chortle.

It depends what you mean by 'one of the biggest'. Top 10? Top 20? Top 30?

We (i.e. richest club in the world) have become their feeder club so they must be 'big'.

I was actually in a bar once in Ho Chi Minh City where there was a Celtic Supporters Club meeting. Very strange, I must say.

20th richest club in the world.

Celtic would comfortably be competing with the likes of Chelsea, Man Utd, Real and co if they were in the Prem. The size of both the Glasgow clubs is difficult to grasp unless you view it firsthand.

Welcome back, one of your teams due to play in a final I see?

20th biggest in terms of revenue. United topped that list but they are the poorest club in the whole wide world

Like Newcastle? And City? And Leeds?

Sky money does not = sucess. Yes clubs get the millions, but so do 19 others. Celtic are no bigger a club than City, Spurs or Leeds.

That is laughable.

Celtic are monumental, their problem is the standard of the league they play in. Celtic as a club are on a par with the worlds top, top clubs, there are very few clubs which could pull the attendances that they do for games against the standards of St Mirren, Inverness and co.
