    Celtic and Adidas look like renewing their partnership once the current kit deal runs out at the end of 2024/25 season. During the kit deal Celtic broke into the top 20 best selling club kits generating £29mil in sales.

    Personally, apart for last seasons home i've been impressed with our kits. I know they're very much a template for all these days. 

    As Alice Cooper almost sang..."Ignore Tuesday night and drone on about the kit, I wanna be deflected. We've got a lotta cash but in Europe we're shit, I wanna be deflected...deflected, dejected, detested, ejected....."

    You reap what you sow.

    The Scottish league is designed to be utter garbage so Rangers and Celtic can win it every year.  

    However the league has become so unbalanced that it's actually destroying Rangers and Celtic along with everyone else.

    I mean Rangers have about as much chance of winning anything as Aberdeen or Hearts and Celtic aren't even 3rd rate in European terms and will be excluded from the top table soon enough.

    Our other teams regularly lose to teams from powerhouse nations like Andorra, Luxembourg, Wales, and Iceland.

    Domestic cup shocks used to be, well, shocks.  Now lower league and even non league teams beat our top level sides every year, on multiple occassions.

    The national U21's haven't qualified for a Finals since 1996.  

    The full Scotland side hasn't won in 14 matches, stunk out the Euros and is unlikely to qualify for a World Cup any time soon.  Oh, and they just called up a 40+ year old goalkeeper from an abject bottom of the league team because there was literally is no one else.to fill the spot.  Our national team is getting close to 'bring your boots' territory.

    Even at amateur level the sport is collapsing with clubs disappearing every year and regional league systems becoming unsustainable.

    When are we actually going to fix this?  Ever?  Or to we just keeping going along so Celtic win trebles most years and then get embarrassed in Europe?  

    How can anyone be happy that we have a low quality, uncompetitive league and get absolutely horsed at any level above domestic right across the board?

    Now our national game is defined by every low esteem loser thicko across the country connecting themselves to two massively successful footballing institutions but surely even the kind of total moron that climbs up a lamp post with a bottle of Buckie in celebration of winning another cup will figure out that winning what are essentially rigged competitions and then getting hosed by big guns is essentially empty and meaningless.

    The SPL was formed around the late 1990s and it was by far the worst thing that ever happened in Scottish football.  Our national game has gone right down the toilet ever since.  Greed and selfishness has brought us here.  

    It's like the entirety of Scottish football lives under some kind of lotus eater delusion. How low to we have to go before we fix our game? 

    👏 Says it all.

    You have to appreciate the Old Firm mentality.  It's all about the grubby little faux religious and cultural war with their local rivals, and due to their huge domestic echo chambers, which includes the media, everything else is reduced to background noise.

    Exactly. The sport of football is almost an irrelevance to them. They do not consider themselves to be a football club, they think of themselves as an 'Irish Catholic' club who just happen to play football. And, as longs as it brings in the money, the Kellys, Whites and Lawwells have been happy to pander and encourage the vile bullshit that is this 19th century secterian mindset.

    Mate you know fine well what he means by building a war chest and what for, you aren’t that daft.

    He is clearly alluding to bridging the gap in Europe

    What argument? I think you posted this and now realise it’s a bit of a silly suggestion

    Stick to trying to work out what's going on in your own head, there's a good lad. If I can't work out what's going on in mine I fail to see how you can. But thanks for trying 🙏.

    Another one. 

    He's such a patronising arsehole. 

    While you don't *need* to drink during a game of football. That isn't the point.

    "Protecting fans"... Not allowing beer to be sold at half time doesn't protect a fan from anything?

    In other countries I couldn't see this legislation being allowed...? Government legislation directly causing loss of income for a targeted specific business segment based on something a very specific group did 40 years ago. 

    The answer then is to prohibit the Old Firm. As long as we have two clubs who go out of their way to monetise a half-witted, aggressive, secterian fanbase whose idea of civilised behaviour is urinating not defaecating in public spaces, then alcohol should be nowhere near Scottish football grounds.

    Vancouver Whitecaps won the Canadian Championship again last night, beating Toronto 4-2 on pens (Armstrong missed for Vancouver). That's their third straight win - they've won it in every one of Gauld's full seasons with them, which I don't think is a coincidence.

    It's not much of a championship, mind you - it would be a huge shock if one of Vancouver, Montreal or Toronto didn't win it - but Vancouver had won only one of 13 pre-Gauld, now it's four of 17. The boy's done good.

    Sounds a better league than ours where it would be a huge shock if one of Celtic, Celtic or Celtic didn't win it.

    Go back and listen if you can. It’s probably one of the best episodes in a long time. Cowan is terrible for talking over guests or not giving them time to actually answer a question or finish a story, but Donnelly was rarely interrupted. Kenny McIntyre seemed in genuine awe as well. 

    Liked that Donnelly mentioned his support for Clyde initially stemmed from his dad's determination that he wouldn't grow up supporting one of the Old Firm. We need more people like that.

    Note the heading of Rangers' match programme, which confirms that legendary football manager Scot Symon (J Scotland Symon) was the manager of The Rangers Football Club Ltd (company number SC004276), the entity which went into administration and ultimately liquidation in 2012.

    Also note that the programme wasn't produced by 'Rangers-haters' such as Celtic or Dundee United, but by Rangers themselves.

    Despite the constant denial of facts by supporters of the current club playing out of Ibrox, this provides incontrovertible evidence that club and company were the same entity, in Rangers' case from incorporation in 1899.

    Fascinating.....
