Tottenham's win against Hearts last night showed the gulf in class between the two leagues. Not having a go at either Rangers or Celtic but i genuinely believe both clubs would be relegation candidates if they were to ever end up in the Premiership. The results of both those teams in the Europa League last night compared to those of English clubs highlights this point. Old Firm fans will argue that the fan base would eventually lead to success but staying in the premiership alone in their first season would prove difficult.
Was debating with a rangers fan on here yesterday who more or less agreed...

Oh aye, should have known bouncy bouncy would be first to comment on this story lol. So where do you stand today on this then after last nights defeat and seeing Hearts get ripped apart at home??! Previous posts from your good self however eg Suarez, Fowler etc lead me to believe u will talk absolute nonsence again....Suppose Rangers would beat Bolton over two legs eh?!

I think if Rangers or Celtic had the money that the Premiership teams get, (30-40million instead of 2-3million they currently get) that they would eventually be like the Newcastles, Sunderlands of this division, mid-table, big crowds. Yes, I believe they would struggle 1st season or 2 but would be decent outfit(s). Currently Scottish Football is on it's 'arris and i don't think much else is gonna change for the foreseeable.

Fair comment BigPants... they prob would be like the Newcastle, Sunderlands, Boltons of the league if they had a bit of money behind them. Just think they would find it very difficult in the first season and if relegated could struggle to get back up...The likes of Bouncy Bouncy would hav u believe rangers would be champs after a season or two lol

now come on BACON i told you yesterday my views on this matter. never once did i say that we would be champions after a season or two. i do agree that we would struggle. rangers and celtic with abit of money and the fan base they have would be mid table average teams like bolton

I would have Bolton above the likes of Newcastle/Sunderland by the way. Big Crowds = Jack Poo. 11 seasons and counting for us. No sign of that coming to an end anytime soon. COYWM
