We all know why we won nothing, because our squad couldn't cope with Europe and the SPL challenge. Rangers only had the latter to worry about, and they won it on penalty, sorry, 'goal' difference

. So logically, taking a step down in areas would require Celtic to outperform Rangers in Europe again, if Rangers want to win the title. You couldn't do it on points when you had f**k all else to concentrate on, how can you do it with a weaker squad in addition to Europe?
I'm not in denial at all, if the SPL was run the same way as La Liga for example, Celtic would have been champions as that's decided by the games involving the two competing teams who are deadlocked.
Our squad has proven it can compete in Europe AS IT IS, Rangers have prepared for their assualt on the continent by signing, aside from Capucho, has beens and injury duds, who are worse than the players who've left, who couldn't compete in Europe anyway!
The only one in denial is yourself, for thinking Rangers are much the better side and Celtic are mince.
