“Sell Out Saturday, show everyone the SPL doesn’t need the Old Firm to thrive”. Discuss.
You have to admire the Aberdeen fans, and fans of every other club in the league, even Kilmarnock fans, who are clearly infuriated by the actions of their chairman. For perhaps the first time in history they have stood up to their clubs and football administrators and effected real and genuine change in our game.
Aberdeen fans produced this Sell-out Saturday graphic, urging people to “show everyone the SPL doesn’t need the Old Firm to thrive”. By ‘Old Firm’ I am sure they don’t mean the cash-cow rivalry Celtic had with Rangers, they mean without Rangers, and without Celtic too.
For every other club in the SPL, Celtic are now their most precious visiting brand. For fans of every other club in the SPL, Celtic are a competitive irrelevance. This season our income is likely to be greater than that of every other club in the league. We pay superstar wages while, for the most part, they pay real world footballers real world compensation.
In short, the SPL doesn’t need the SPL to thrive. The clubs may (or may not) believe they need Celtic to pay bills, but recent events have demonstrated that might not be the case.
There is another problem to consider. If the SPL keeps Celtic, in a decade or so they will have Newco-Rangers, and the whole dysfunctional business will start all over again. Kick Celtic out now and Newco-Rangers will never materialise in the manner it would if Celtic remained.
SPL fan power has one more club to sort out.

Downed tools already,,,,pathetic!!!
HH
rogne as slow as a week in jail
Aye, a quality center half is deffo required, get yer finger oot PL
There were are a few folk writing with the same problems earlier in the week ( Thursday possibly). Someone said that online sales are done by a firm in Chesire.
2-0 defence looking shabby
Good job we’re not playing Ajax to qualify :-)
Pretty embarrassing scoreline which doesn’t really reflect the first twenty minutes, though Ajax are fitter and faster.
Not to impressed with our system.
It seems to be without any forward purpose and defensively inept
sell out lawell…
apart from him £1m bonus…
Defence is looking shaky but that lets the rest off the hook far too easily,,,our attempt at trying to keep possession is embarrassing!!!
HH
Where is Forrest playing,,,up front???
HH
I think centre back is our new left back position. The position where we try to convert. Square pegs in round holes.
HH
Has Forrest touched the ball yet? We should have went with Kayal in this game instead of him.
does this show what we need to do to progress in Europe?
or do we want to be parochial?
3-0
Oh dear
3-0
Has Forrest touched the ball yet?
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aye 3 times!!!!!
oh dear Thomas, 3-0
Embarrassing from Thomas Rogne
Sell out Saturday is a pretty apt description of our defending.
WTF????????????????
HH
Rogne not really awake. Ach well, it’s a pre-season friendly.
Rogne still thinking he is on the beach…unbeleavable defending
3-0
told ye,
rogne is a tumshie………..spl sure but still a tumshie
or does Mr Lawell want to send me another letter like the one I received today?
Kayal has a knock though Forrest looks off the pace
3-0 humiliating
Friendlies or not,,,fed up getting embarrassed over and over!!
HH
So, what sky chanel is premier sports, emdy
Sorry, in my rage i mistook Forrest for Forster…….. Lucky i’m no a Hun or the wife would be in trouble!!

SA 391-2… Couldn’t help but change channels there… :(
celtic players just cant see a forward pass i’m afraid
