    As said before me, Wanyama, Van Dijk, Forster, Ledley, Ki Seung Yong and at least one player every year before this lot. They've got a fairly consistent top level outflow.

      If we're talking about Celtic then there's obviously the 3 Southampton boys, ki seung yeung, ledley. A lot more ex rangers players have made it in the premiership probably due to their liquidation, Naismith, jelavic, whittaker, Hutton, Davis, arteta, Charlie Adam just to name a few of the recent ones... Then you've got Andy Robertson who was at Dundee United before hull, sone aluko who was at Aberdeen before hull, Steven Fletcher who was at hibs before moving to the premiership, and mcarthur and McCarthy who both played for hamilton before joining Wigan, so I don't think it's quite a myth.

        I wouldn't say any of the players mentioned have gone on to do great things - (Larsson won the Champions League for example). I'd say the players mentioned have all had decent careers but nothing special, barring perhaps Arteta

            Watching Celtic vs Lincoln.in Champion s League now, he is cleqrly a cut above anyone else, should.have had a goal already, wromglu disallowed for a foul and had a great shot from.outside the area.

                    Just seen Celtic got turned over by a side from Gibralter made up of taxi drivers, firemen and postmen that had, straight up, worked a shift earlier today
                    You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.

                      They were pretty poor on the whole, I mean they unfairly had a goal ruled out but Lincoln had a chance of getting a second just after they score their first goal so really could have been worse.Dembele got no service in the second half before he was taken off.

                        Impossible Matty , they play in front of 52000 every other Saturday !! Celtic in all honesty would be worse than us if they had a season in the prem. League 1 side at best
                        Ooh northern lads love gravy

                          Even their attendances are dwindling. Average home attendance last season was 44k, Celtic Park holds 60k.
