    I was having an argument with a mate today, who thinks Celtic only just make the top 25 of being the biggest clubs in the world. He also claims that Aston Villa are a bigger club than we are.

    That being said, where would you rank us? Top 5, top 10? Where would you rank Rangers?

    I think that in terms of support we are are in the top 5, most likley 4 (celtic are tied for second most popular footbal team in the US and Canada), in terms of our team at the moment I wouls say around 15 or 16, also lets not forget that right now Celtic are the 7th or 8th most valuable club in the world, monetary wise at least.

    We are a big club, 3rd biggest in Britain i would say.

    In terms of the world im not sure. Madrid, Barca, Utd, Liverpool, Inter, AC Milan, Juventus, Bayern?

    In terms of quality we are low, low down.

    Support - 1st

    Finance - top 25

    Quality - I wouldn't like to hazard a guess right now

    For support we are top notch. Quality wise we aren't there. We need to get focused on that.
