    Assuming Rangers go under, we are the team who will clean up every year with no challenger. Assuming they do NOT go under, and either get away with this on a lesser scale or start a newCo that somehow manages to smile their way into the SPL, we could still have a challenger.

    How do you lot see this going now the latest figures spouted have raised considerably from 16 million to almost 150 million for the Orcs? I would reckon their end is nigh...

    i wouldnt go as far as to say domination, we still have a lot of improvements to do, if you mean that it will be a given we will win the league each year due to no huns or a weak huns then yeah ofcourse its domination time but we are far from it on the terms of dominating performances in my book.

    we have shown we can pull out those performances but we do not do it consistently, ofcourse it would be daft to expect those performances each week but we had a few scraping results during our big run.
    everything is improving for us however and it will only continue to snowball.

    i look forward to our future :celt_2:

    It all depends on the rest. Initially, assuming the huns don't get away with it, I think we'll certainly dominate. This could well be the first of 4, 5, maybe 6 titles in a row. But with no rangers, I think the others will improve. It may take some time, but they'll get more money from higher finishes, and assuming we can hold our own in Europe other teams will get a bit of European revenue as well. I've said it before, no rangers may mean less TV money, but other teams will get more money from higher finishes.

    We'll dominate no matter whether the huns die or not. They are *, end of. We are champions! I can see us doing really well now. We have a young squad that are developing and I could see us being a very strong squad in a couple of years. Lennon has a bight future ahead of him here.

    Lenny has put together a very young team of players that have lacked that wee bit of vital experience during some games this season. But that aside there's no reason to think negatively and with the right support from the board, I see no reason why we can't go from strength to strength. Fringe players must be let go and the squad trimmed with only quality players brought in.

    It'll be interesting to see what we do in the Summer and what kind of European run we can put together next season. One things for sure the players have learnt a lot this season and know what it takes now to cross the finishing line and be crowned Champions. So they should be wanting more of that and I for one believe they can do it providing the bulk of the squad are kept together.

    If we can keep the core of the team together for at least another 3 years, keep Rogne/Matthews/Izzy/Ki/Kayal/ledley/Brown/Hooper/Stokes/Forrest etc... and add in a couple of real quality players throughout the spine of the team then there is no reason why we cannot dominate the league for years and years.

    Breakthrough in europe is the next big step, CL brings big teams, big players and big money to Parkhead, consistency in europe is also key to consistency in the SPL.

    The better quality of player we are able to attract via european football will aid our domination of Scottish football for years to come.

    Any player wanting to come to Scotland right now will be choosing Celtic over Rangers every day of the week.

    We should not rely on the other teams. If we have good structure in management, team and development of the players, we will dominate. Let's make a good plan, stick with it and we will reap good results:50:.

    It should be, given rangers go under which they should.
    Time to build a strong team that can compete in CL

    Most of our players haven't reached their peak yet. If we can keep them here and happy, I can only see us getting better each season.

    Let's hope so we have a great chance the way thing are at the moment. Does anyone no what the average age is in our squad? Must be really low.
