Thanks everyone for all your comments, they are highly appreciated and Jonathan, I do believe Celtic have a very long way to go to even be considered as a force in Europe (whether Celtic will actually get there is another matter) but they are in the strongest position domestically to win the league, possibly even at a landslide.

Thanks for your comments guys, I will edit that on Ryan’s part to reflect that fact.

Rangers were founded by a group of teenagers actually. We were named after an English rugby club, but each of the founding members were just Scottish teenagers.

Nice article Ryan. Celtic have got their season off to the worst possible start though with a 3-0 defeat to Braga in the Champions League qualifiers. Is that merely a case of ringrust, or an indication that they still have a long way to go to become a force again, domestically or abroad?

[...] Celtic and Rangers – Life in the Glasgow Goldfish Bowl “Ask anyone in Glasgow who they support and 99% of the time you will get one of two answers – Celtic or Rangers. Everything separates the pair. Their foundations, with Rangers formed in 1872 by an English rugby club and Celtic in 1888 to raise funds for Brother Walfrid’s Charity whom fed the poor Irish Catholic section of Glasgow. Religion, with Rangers’ support predominantly Protestant and Celtic’s support Catholic. Also on-field matters, with Celtic being the more multi-national side while Rangers possess a more Scottish based team. For all their differences though, they have one thing in common. They both have to win at all costs.” (Just Football) [...]

Not a bad stab at an interesting article.
Only thing, Rangers were formed by 5 teenage pals from Garelochhead – 30 miles north of Glasgow – and (possibly) NAMED after an English Rugby club.

Rangers traditionally a Scottish team?

Tell that to Graeme Souness who bought half the England team and even some Englishmen who weren’t!

Throughout their nine in a row years, Rangers played Dutch players,
(a great excuse to fly the Orange flag!)Spaniards, French, and at least one Italian!

Oh!…and of course also a couple of Scotsmen!
