Ok. So maybe they’ve always been poor on the big stage. They haven’t done anything of note in my lifetime in europe other than a UEFA cup runner up in 2003.
Celtic knocked out of the CL

I do know the difference between where, we’re and were
Although my phone doesn’t seem to

Was worried Red Ninja or DB hacked into your account.
Back to back trebles not big enough?
Because if you are claiming a Scottish side not going far in the CL as crumbling on the big stage then that's a bit daft
No. Claiming Andy Robertson is not good enough. THAT’S a bit daft.
Back to back trebles when you're the only team in the league with a budget that massively dwarfs all competitors mean shit. Everybody knows it. The empty seats in Parkhead shows that the Hoops fans know it. They blew it when they sent Rangers down.
In the kingdom of the blind etc etc.
Nice deflection, your point was daft you can own it you now.
I guess we can agree to disagree. Not having an off day in 4 cups over two years is impressive regardless of the competition and doing it while winning the league and playing in the CL is even more impressive.
For fuck's sake, Dreamy, it's the Scottish league. It's shit, it has been for years. Celtic have no competition at all.
I said at the time it was pure greed and the SFA should never have put it to a vote. Complete stupidity and you didn't have to be presient to foresee the outcome.
Absolutely.
Let's face it, it's a league that's there to be dominated by anyone with above the average Scottish team's net spend. If you look at net spends there among teams in the SPL, it's like going back 20+ years in this league, that's how far behind it is with many teams.
He's done better than most managers have there, because he's not only dominated, but he's annihilated the opposition and completely wiped the floor with the league and cups. That's an achievement in itself.
But... the gulf in class between their standards and most top six teams from other European countries, is astounding. They have generally always struggled, bar that spell about 15 years ago when they had the likes of Davey Thompson, Hartson etc, they did quite well against quite a few big European teams (they beat us too remember). So the capability is there for them at least to enter European competition and be a bastard team to play against, but they are typically tippy/tappy under Rodgers, without the ruthlessness to then role their sleeves up and give a decent European team a tough game.
His European record is pretty symptomatic of his flaws here, too much emphasis on attractive play and a complete lack of guile and guts.
