No Scottish football isn’t dying here’s why:
Scotland with a population of only 6m has the highest average attendance per head capita in Europe. Top flight clubs such as Ross county have also broken their record season attendance figures. Every year for the last 5 every Scottish club has had increased attendance figures except Celtic.
The Scottish games problem is the governing body corrupt to the core. Scottish football doesn’t have the advertisement or social media presence to promote itself. The main problem is comparing ourselves and people wanting to compete with England. England’s population alone is around 50m more people. Not to mention the financial situations. Celtic would have to win the treble in scotland every year for 75 years just to match the money made by Sunderland the year they got relegated... how can anyone compete with that??
Scottish football is great. I don’t see the obsession with English fans wanting to tarnish its reputation. You don’t see German fans constantly slating the Austrian league or Spanish fans bad mouthing the Portuguese league. Why does Scottish football HAVE to be as good as the Top 5 leagues and why is it ‘dying’ if not?
The fans and passion and Scottish games is incredible, the atmosphere is still local ie (our boys vs your boys) opposed to millionaires down south. The games in England shock me how bad the atmosphere is, Newcastle Sunderland derby arguably one of our biggest doesn’t even match the Scottish derbies, old firm, Dundee derby, highland derby, Edinburgh derby, renfrew derby.. can’t hear the commentators sometimes at these games.
I personally have no interest in English football anymore and find Scottish league more exciting for the European places and the relegation battles. Almost every English fan along with myself who’s decided to give Scottish football a try ends up pleasantly surprised how good it is. Not one Scottish fan claims the leagues good, they know where it’s at. English fans get butthurt when Scottish people say they only have interest for SPL. The argument is that only 1 team wins the league, and that’s why the BPL league is full of glory hunters and passionless fans. Football isn’t about trophies it’s about following your team through lows as well as highs
Struxn YT I wish this was top comment
When was the last time Scotland qualified for an international tournament? Not once in this CENTURY.LOL.
luke sampson when was the last time you seen a fanny? Not once in this CENTURY. LOL.
luke sampson literally nothing to do with anything said 😂😂😂 not to mention how shit that patter is when Scotland are so used to not playing that no one gives af. Laughing at scotland not qualifying is like laughing at stevie wonder playing darts
Hamilton, St.Johnstone, St.Mirren, Livingston, Dundee Kilmarnock and Motherwell all in the premier League and have average attendances of 2,500 to 5,500. From all corners of Scotland, fans only want to support the same two teams. .
Most Scottish teams have better fans than plastic English fans, much more passion in the spl than dead money fuelled English leagues
Dom K true for some teams. I don’t think you could find any glory supporter Huddersfield fans😂. UTT
Mr. K Dilkington not who I was implying though was it
If Huddersfield or stoke get relegated watch there attendances drop massively, there are fans of those teams who only turn up because it's the premier league
MjM you could in Huddersfield
I agree with the premier league for the most part and especially the big clubs. But the lower English leagues have passionate fanbases aswell if you look past a few teams like Cardiff, Reading and Wigan. Lower leagues in England have great atmospheres
The arrogance on this video from English fans and the obligatory "hardcore" "lifelong" utd/city fans from Asia/Africa is unbelievable. Before all the t.v. money properly took effect, we (Celtic) and as much as it pains me to say it Rangers were actually capable of holding our own in Europe. I mean just look at our run to the Uefa cup final in 2003 and theirs in 2008.We dumped out Liverpool and Blackburn(when they weren't shite) and bunch of others.But when the likes of crystal palace can afford to blow 30 million on a player,what the fuck can we do?
If it makes you feel any better lad, the tv money era ruined football for the majority of English clubs too
Lord Rupert the arrogance of posh conservatives thinking they know better than everyone
Lord Rupert Bournemouth riding high 😂😂
NO SURRENDER 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Hold your own in Europe? Before 1992 how many Europeans cups had a Scottish side won? 1 in 1967
English teams were ruling European football Liverpool, Nottingham forest and Aston villa in a 7/8 year period won how many European cups between them? After 92 the gap got bigger because people are willing to pay to watch quality. I'm just glad Henrik Larson left Scotland just in time to show what a great player he was its a shame his peak years were wasted in a tin pot league 😆😆
Are Bayern, PSG, Barca / Real, Juventus all killing their leagues?
WAs about to comment this haha
Man city
Not really theyve just dominated this season, are you forgetting Leicester won it last year and shocked everyone?
You forget...the foreign teams you mention are all successful in European Competition. In Scotland, Celtic and Rangers have a domestic stranglehold, but are nowhere in Europe. The gap is bigger than ever. The old firm stranglehold is destroying the Scottish game. It is dying on it's feet.
The two of them have won 80% of the titles
How is it dead? Better atmosphere than most English clubs, more competitive than people think.
At Ease ye but that’s Man City, who have the worst fans in the league considering they’re the best team
GrantF2003 HD
Not competitive at all and it's such a low quality of football.
GrantF2003 HD better atmosphere 😂😂😂 other than gers & celtic no one gets more than 15k embarrassing league and it’s definitely not competitive
Liverpool have the most overrated atmosphere in the world, 80% tourists and only chants of “Liverpool Liverpool”
Millwall Joey atmosphere isn’t attendance 🙈 fud
The only dead thing in scottish football is sevco
Markus Albrektsson shut up diluted tim 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Someone call the time machine that joke's nearly 6 years old. Hungry? Applepine?
If your going to use your shite patter at least use it the correct way. “Sevco” wouldn’t be dead it would be Rangers even though we aren’t dead. Just shows how confused and clueless some of youse are.
To true 🍀🍀🍀
correct and alng with rangers
If anything celtic are the ones keeping a quite high level. They are not killing it
@john m they get embarrassed every season in Europe, Rangers have outclassed them in Europe.
Ben7991 HEEREE WE GOOOO 10 IN A ROW
@@trinityliger Are you sure????
High level, 😂😂😂🥳🥳🥳🥳🤔🤔🤔🤔, what planet you on, watp🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
As an American, and a fan of MLS... It's kinda nice seeing all these EuroSnob comments bashing a league other than mine lol. That said though, I like SPFL and it's a fun watch, I get it on Fox Soccer. Tons of passion from the fans and a lot less diving than Liga and BPL which means a lot to me. 🤷
HispanicAtTheDisco fair play to you. Imo if you're a fan of football, then you should appreciate all football, even if the quality may not be as good
I've seen the EPL fans on slagging off the MLS. It's totally absurd. Less than 70% of the EPL players are English and as for ownership and management........there's nothing English about it. Just look at the English national team. A laughing stock every two years. Here we go again in 6 weeks. The usual "this is our year, this is our time" and then they'll go out and get beat by Iceland or Switzerland. Guaranteed Hilarity.
Hilarity Ensues you look a bit of a fool now
@@hilarityensues This comment didn't age well
@@tomscott2.0communisteditio64 Why? Did England win the World Cup? Runner's up perhaps? Third maybe?
Nope. That's the story being peddled by Rangers because for once they're on the receiving end of domination. Funny how they never talked about how Scottish football was dead in the 90's when they were walking titles using money they didnt have every year....
Sean M Agreed
Can i ask where you've found this info
Ive not once seen Rangers fans say that walloper
has been no rangers fan said such thing, what kind of propaganda is this you're telling people?
100%
I really don’t understand how people expect Scottish football to compete with England when there is such a gulf in finance. The PL tv rights deal is worth billions of pounds, and yet Thierry Henry earns more annually from Sky than the SPFL receive for tv rights. It doesn’t matter who we get through the door or raise from grassroots because an English team will poach them for a fraction of what they’re worth. Most Scottish teams don’t have the financial stability to turn down offers, which sees all of the leagues best players either head to Glasgow or down south.
Scottish football is stagnant. We’re caught in a constant cycle of not having enough money or not being able to hold onto our best players. How can anyone expect our league to grow?
you chose to have your own f.a cause you wanted your own league and national team you wanted to compete. so you can't complain that your losing.
I think once celtic can get into like the round of 16 in the champions league then money could flow in or when rangers win the title.
Nazia Mahboob hahahahaha Celtic are lucky to ever reach the europa league by finishing 3rd in the group. I only see Scottish fans speaking about the epl ‘tv deal’ when they have the tv deals because it’s good football. Who is ever going to pay to watch Ross country vs st Johnstone on tv fucking no one.
Then you see Scottish fans on about how there is no atmosphere in England then why don’t you look at the championship league one and league two where there is good atmosphere.
Question for the English fans, why do so many of you care about Scottish football? No matter where Scottish football pops up there will always be English fans there to talk about it... Dont like it? Don't watch it
English fans love to talk shit about every other football league due to their insecurity.
My thoughts exactly, our football may not be the best quality, but down south they are jealous of the fans passion, something they'll never have
Trust me mate we don’t watch it 😂
MjM so why do so many of you pass judgement without sitting down and watching it?
Big Daddy sometimes it's on sky sports that Celtic beat this team or they are 20 pts ahead of another know one watches it because the league is shit we all know who will win the title . Celtics season basically goes win the league qualify for ucl get knocked out of the group stage again then win the title over and over again there is no competition just an overrated team that will struggle to get in the too ten in the epl let's face it you can't really say they are a good team when they flop in Europe every season until Celtic atleast reach quarter or semi finals they remain irrelevant bring them to the epl and see what happens just another mid table team.
Scottish football isn’t dead look at the average fans attending games. Celtic can do well in the EPL if we are given the money because for winning the spfl we got less than Sunderland getting relegated
Manny Adegunju you are delusional Celtic is a top table team. We can compete against the top teams in England look at last season we drew twice with city and we should of easily won both. We are a great team but since our league has no money it's because we don't have the money
nah
Manny Adegunju 15th isn’t getting fucked though, especially with the budget we operate at.
Brandon McCauley finally someone talking sense
Manny Adegunju Says the guy who supports a team who spends 300 mil and still gets knocked out the champions league by a Swiss team 😂😂😂
Scottish football is just like the French league. 1 club with all the money who will consistently win the league year on year
Aaron Routledge so like the bundesliga as well? One team just dominating
Yea just pub leagues
Aaron Routledge Bayern would annihilate every English team apart from city and liverpool
Tottenham and united would also put up a fight. But I’m saying that the rest of the league is crap. In the the German league there is only 1 team competing for the title every year. But in the prem there is 6 teams competing for the title every year. Same as the Scottish league
Monaco...
You guys uploaded this video on the same day Celtic got beat 2-1 by Hibs. Scottish football is on the up. Celtic still haven't won the league yet unlike Man City has for the EPL. The Scottish game this season has been much more competitive than the English league. At the moment I would say Celtic is not killing the scottish game although, they have of course been the dominant team in Scotland for a long time. I think that is going to end soon with teams such as Hibs really looking like they are gonna challenge for the league title next season and other teams such as Kilmarnock who are really doing well despite their 2-0 defeat to Aberdeen.
Kalum George Tocher exactly, and by next season there should be a proper title race
No, Celtic just aren't as good and yet there's still no title race. Scottish football is hardly on the up. They're a win away from the title, by standard of football the competition isn't better than that of who Man City faced down south
It’s quite sad that you care his much
And Celtic have lost to Hibbs, Kilmarnock and hearts 4-0
GGTH
The league is getting better again much more passionate than the English league
.guswhite. Especially with Hibs going back up. :)
.guswhite. exactly👍👍
Agreed, down in the English Prem, bunch of tourists doesn’t feel like any passion
Yep I’d say atleast 40% of ‘English football supporters’ are foreign and only support teams that are at the top - Chelsea, Man Utd, Man City and even the shitty Arsenal...
HanzoMainOfficial Not 40%. No way.
As a Scot that follows his home town club (Raith Rovers) I can say that the game here in Scotland isn’t quite dead just yet, however, the fact that the league title will never leave Glasgow ever again and the last time it did was back in the early 80s just shows that our game does have problems.
The only thing Scottish football has is banter and passion. The football is shite, the league is shit etc. I mean look at Scott Sinclair, couldn’t get a game for Villa, then comes up and bosses the SPFL, that’s the level of football that’s played.
Joshy 97 the same Scott Sinclair who scored over 20 goals in the championship? So championship level of football, that's alright I'd say...
Joshy 97 Joey Barton got championship player of the season came up and done absolute nothing.
You say he bosses it, have you seen him this season? He has been terrible compared to last season.
Big Daddy He scored 19 goals in one season in the championship, not really that impressive tbh. He scored 12 goals in 96 appearances from 11/12 season until 15/16 season. He comes to the SPFL and has the season of his career. He scored almost double what he did prior to those 5 seasons in his 1st season in Scotland. Couldn’t cut it in the Premier league and some Celtic fans claim they would be a mid table club in the EPL, laughable.
Joshy 97 Have you ever heard of players improving. Your league filled wi a bunch of plastic fans
How can every english football fan have an opinion on this without ever having watched a game that isn't the old firm
GLASGOW RANGERS exactly, they know fuckall about Scottish ftbaw
Can't believe these England fans want Celtic in the Premier League a team who's support chant about the death of Lee Rigby as well as supporting a terrorist organisation. I think you English fans should do some research.
Because plenty of English fans have watched a game that isn't the old firm. I support Reading who are in the EFL, they are absolute shit, but when i watched Scottish clubs play it made them look good haha
Tbf who is actually going to watch the Scottish league outside of the old firm. They are championship quality and the rest are league one or league two standard
One day, the English football money bubble will burst. It won't last forever, it may be 10 years, 20 years or however long it takes. When it does happen it will be a great day for world football
jealous piece of shit
Bassmint jealous of your money, yes. Your football? Nah
Big Daddy sure, keep telling yourself that. I support a championship team anyway, we've got no money haha
Bassmint you will still have a shit tonne more money than most Scottish teams. I like championship football, would rather watch that than most EPL games
Big Daddy Well I mean Brexit does mean the teams in the Bpl have to pay much more for what they're getting so idk. The GDP has already McFallen. And if Theresa may stops her world record of fucking an entire country at once in Pornhub then it won't just be the Scottish league 'dying' 😜
Also the Scottish league isn't even dying, it's getting better... much better. The English are jealous they don't have a player like Scott brown on their team who can do the dirty work that's why they're jealous and have to keep bringing down their neighbours lol.
Its not dead, its the most attended league in world football (average attendance per capita). We get unfairly compared to england because we’re next door which is a load of shit. Look and the difference of resources in England. We should be compared to leagues of similar sized nations like the swedish, norwegian, Croatian, swiss league ect. The gap in wealth between us and England is enormous. Celtic would need to win another 33 titles to match the amount of money that west brom will make for finishing bottom this season
Highest attended league per head of population in Europe. Isn't dead, just no money
Big Daddy It is dead though. Look at the 4 years Rangers weren’t at the top. Celtic’s average attendance dropped massively, every other league team attendance dropped. Rangers averaged an attendance of 40+ thousand fans while in the 3rd division of Scottish football. Actually the first year they played the 3rd division they had the highest average attendance in the whole of Scottish football. Rangers return to the top, Celtic are selling out their stadia come the old firm, Rangers are funding clubs like Partick when they’re taking 4,000-5,000 fans away.
Joshy 97 well thats just not true at all 😂😂😂 attendances for most clubs have been gradually going up year after year, the only thing Rangers cheating did was cheat smaller teams out of money and ruin their chances of ever winning anything
Andy Blyth Yea, every year since Rangers return. When did Celtic ever sell out while Rangers were in the lower divisions? Stats are stats. It’s already proven every top divisions teams attendance dropped. Also facts are in the 3rd division Rangers had the highest attendance in all of Scotland. That proves from the off that Celtic weren’t interested from the season Rangers went down until the season they came back up.
Joshy 97 Celtic fans in the Ronny deila era is what rangers are going through just now. The fact we got rid of him and got Rodgers in and are signing better players and playing better football is why fans are coming back. The world doesn't revolve around rangers. How can you boast about keeping other clubs afloat when yours is in complete turmoil
Big Daddy Yea because the Delia era was tragic winning 2 league titles and a cup. Absolute bollocks that the attendances dropped because of him.
I guess it really all depends on what you mean by “dead”. Celtic winning the title is a foregone conclusion (or as close as you can get it sport) so in that sense you could argue that the competition is dead.
But if we’re talking in terms of fan engagement, as long as supporters of clubs aside from Celtic are still going to games and care about their teams, then Scottish football is still very much alive.
Scottish football is not dead, I’m a Dundee United fan and seen my team win one major trophy and one smaller cup, best moments of my life, we’ve beaten Celtic, we’ve beaten Rangers. There is competition, Scottish football isn’t dead and shouldn’t be talked down.
English football fans: “Celtic are a pub team! Wouldn’t survive in league 2!”
Celtic fans: “Well let us play in the premier league and we’ll see how good we are. If we’re a “pub team” then you’ve nothing to worry about.”
English fans: “No...eh...you can’t do that because... because...
HaHa ThE SpL iS a PuB lEaGuE, cElTiC aRe A pUb TeAm!”
Celtic fans: “...”
King In The North this.
King In The North Aston Villa have UCL success and a similar sized fan base as Celtic, they're in the Championship. It's not a definite that Celtic would do well if they went down south and got the money.
similar sized fan base- Aston Villa 31k average attendance, Celtic 57k you know fuck all
CRS Celtic have FAR many more fans worldwide than Villa, Newcastle etc.
Celtic (as a brand) is also FAR more marketable with its Scottish and Irish connections as well as its atmosphere at games. Messi etc have stated their love for Celtic and if you were a player getting paid the same wage as at another club you’d probably prefer to play for Celtic.
The most negative comparison you could make with Celtic is that it would be a Liverpool or Arsenal. I.e. That they have the fans, the ambition, the history but are unable to win the league.
CRS there are Celtic supporters clubs in every corner of the planet. Celtic are massive compared to villa
Hibs have just dominated Celtic and beat them 2-1 meaning they have to wait to win the league Scottish football very much alive 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
.guswhite. Be fucking class if Aberdeen were to somehow steal the title off them, and I’m a Dundee Utd fan!
.guswhite. Pretty sure celtic would have let hibs do it cause now hibs go level on points w rangers n Celtic can win the league against rangers and put rangers into 4th 🍀
Michael Wilson not a case of letting them we outplayed them but it’s a big win for them anyway
Michael Wilson no chance lol, Celtic played their hearts out vs hibs lol. I’m a thistle fan. It’s just by chance that they are playing rangers next. Hibs are not a team to be taken lightly, I’d say they are almost level with Celtic, they are a very impressive side.
.guswhite. Aye they have to “wait” to win it.So it’s already been won for ages.You’ve just contradicted your own point.Idiot.
I feel a British league could attract better sponsors for Scottish clubs and overall make it bigger
I don't agree with this premise at all. Bayern Munich win the Bundesliga every year and yet the Bundesliga has the highest attendances in Europe. The Scottish Premiership has the highest attendances in Europe per head of population. Even more than that, the average attendances in the Scottish Premiership this year are the highest they've been in about 10 years. There should be a video with the title Is Scottish Football Back?
Well said bro
Scottish football is slowly back on the rise
Celtic may be on the verge of 7 in a row but no one cared when Rangers were 9 in a row, there was no talk of them killing the league
Better managers and players slowly coming in
Even Aberdeen are on the verge of building a great news stadium
Video is absolute pish
you're smoking crack. stop it.
Scottish leauge is still relevant, nobody talks about the bundesliga or serie a being dead when bayern and juventus are the only teams who win it. Honestly I don't think we're too far away from another team winning the title, hopefully it can be hibs.
CriRo7 which title race lol?
Juventus have won the league
Marcus Calderon the most logical conclusion for the next team to win the title would be hibs, since Neil Lennon is one of the best managers in the league and the momentum from having won promotion a year ago. Most would say rangers but I’d imagine that they’d bottle it and lose at the final hurdles
J Bosss The one between Juve and Napoli? The one that has been going on this entire season while the other leagues were wrapped in January?
Robin yeah true, but with the win over Celtic we might have some hope of getting a European place
Glory hunting is what's killing scottish football.
Scotland is full of people who dont support their local side.
Jason Campbell Too true
If that is right Then all Rangers fans would have support Celtic in the 60s all Celtic fans would have support Rangers in the 90s and all Rangers fans would support Celtic Now so how you work that 1 out Jason ?
@@Mark-453 He's talking about the non auld firm sides. The teams in the cities take away alot local supporters from smaller sides but you wouldn't really know that if you supported a bigger side
The SPFL has always been competitive but the main media and BBC just focus on Celtic and rangers. If you watch a game between other SPL teams like Hearts and Hibs or Aberdeen and Kilmarnock you'll see the class. As hearts showed by not backing down they pumped Celtic! If the BBC gave us a bit more cash and people realised they don't need to respect the Old Firm the league can return to glory days of the 80s and 90s.
Gary R. Let's hope so
I have been to every Partick thistle home and away games this season and I can tell you Scottish football is not dead, yes Celtic are the dominant team in Scotland but that doesn't mean the league is dead. Any fan of any club goes to support their team, same in any league their is always domination from some teams/team doesn't mean a league is dead.
the only dead thing in the spfl is Rangers. hahahahaha
@Horvat Lovren a kao hajduk je bolji aj neseri
Good video. Nice to see the positives of Scottish football being put out there rather than the constant drivel of how awful it is from English fans and media.
Always have to blame the English don't ya?
Bassmint if they are to blame then yes
I am an Aberdeen fan so I am wondering why there were no photos of pit Audrey (the Aberdeen stadium) or the logo?
I slate Coppa 90 alot recently
But recently content been very good 👏.
Keep it up with more videos like this
Idc. I'm waiting for Poet's reaction on Wenger Out. 😤

I'm a skinny wanker too though not gonna front 🤷🏽♀️
Don’t subscribe to a channel about world football then, you ignorant tool
Going by this video’s logic then Man City are killing English football.
Abdikadir MOHAMED they will in the next 6 years
Simon What abt the other ‘Big 6’ clubs
AyaanHD Spurs: won fuck all in 10 years. Liverpool: Won a league cup a few years back. Arsenal: FA Cups
The other big clubs have been somewhat successful like rangers have veen
simon how can you say city will dominate when chelsea won by a massive margin last season and now look at them. Leicester also dominated the year before. City have had one good year but still got thrashed 5-1 by liverpool on aggregate its not like they were invincible like celtic last year
Three teams battling for second (and Hibs beat Celtic 2-1 today), big relegation battle at the other end of the league. Some cracking young talent coming through just now.
Of course Scottish football isn't dead, it's the most interesting it's been in years.
My mate at 3:29 wearing PANATHINAIKOS jersey made my day. Huge respect mate. Go Celtic, go Panathinaikos!
Scottish football died when Rangers originally folded.
Scottish football started to thrive when rangers liquidated. All attendances went up and the cups were are won by a multitude of different teams
Celtic have won all league titles since yea its pretty dead...
No that was the best couple of seasons in years
allyhowitt as a neutral fan I stopped caring about anything to do with Scottish football when Rangers originally folded because them and Celtic are the only clubs that have any sort of notability in the league. The rest are irrelevant.
Rangers killed Scottish football back in the 90s
It may not be dead but it is irrelevant. It’s obvious how shit the league is when the best team (Celtic) performs so poorly in Europe.
NexusHydra Celtic are just overated
NexusHydra I mean it's almost like putting a 15 million pound squad against a 500 million pound squad has an inevitable outcome in Europe
Big Daddy The fact the best team is worth that little proves how dead the league is
Rangers fan and ur club isn’t and the reason we don’t have the money to play in Europe
Matt Moore so by your logic, every European league outside of say the big 5/6 is dead because their is little to no money in it?
No not dead, The king is back now to bring glory to Scotland
You know an idea for another video of a countries football? Chile. Can you guys do a video of whether or not Chilean Football is dying or not, specifically their league and how their teams do in Libertadores and Sudamericana? Thanks
I’m a Celtic and brentford fan
Callum Grant, there’s something called grammar, learn it you dumb fuck
What a joke, now that Celtic are dominating Scottish football nobody can take it, but whenever the tables were turned and rangers won 9 in a row, there was no talk of Scottish football being dead, Celtic have got where they are today by NOT cheating, wish I could say the same about sevco, poisonous team nobody wants to touch them or put money into them because of how much of a mess the club is, hope it stays that way because they are a joke of a club, everything they stand for is a joke, here we go 10 in a row
Jimbo Mc We never cheated for a start. Celtic got to were they are because you had to throw us out of the league because we dominated your arses for so long. Poisoned club? your club raped children then covered it up. Pretty sure that is poison mate.
If Livingston fc get promoted into the Scottish premier ship can you please do an episode as we are 2nd and we are just promoted from ligue 1
I follow my team up and down the country and been to games in the epl the atmosphere is dead apart from a few teams such as Liverpool and Burnley but in Scotland it's never full of just day trippers sitting down taking photos of players. Also as much as I hate the old firm both would do fantastic down south with their fan base and the extra money you would receive would turn them both into top teams, from tv and sponsorships, as getting relegated from the EPL gives you millions upon millions Celtic receive about a twentieth for winning the league up in Scotland
Cameron Dowie Celtic receive 3.2million for this yrs league but has been roughly between 2 - 3 million for many yrs mean while in prem u get roughly 100 million over 2 seasons if u get relegated lol big difference. It's amazing to think man city spent 600 million up till end of last season & still couldn't beat Celtic over 2 games. Both games Celtic cudda won ! Pretty amazing considering the difference in finances.
However it's a game that makes celtics season, as they know they've already won the league before it has even started, compared to Man City who want to challenge/win the premier league and a draw against Celtic was never their real concern
4th AmiGo ^
Cameron Dowie Celtic burst their bubble with them draws. They was undefeated after 10 games (I think they won all 10 games in league & was expected to run away with league) in prem & expected to hammer Celtic but didn't. Following week spurs beat them and so do other teams after that. They then struggled in league after Celtic showed their weaknesses. I can also honestly see the bubble bursting big time in epl. Estimated debt of clubs combined in prem league is over 2 billion lol.
4th AmiGo out of interest who do you support
There's just no money, on percentage Scottish football fans go to more games than any other country in the WORLD. We love football, but there's not really any money, and for a nation of 6 million we don't really have much to choose from.
Look at the premier league, what percentage of players in teams are Englishmen? Man city just trounced the league and what English players were in there? Sterling and Walker, who cost 100million.
Mangers, players, coaches, TV time all comes down to money, and leagues can't perform without it.

I think Celtic & rangers suld play in epl clearly better than Cardiff & Swansea
Wtf they are not even efl level
CW M ahaha what about rangers beaten watford in 2017 pre-season
CW M tell me your taking the piss
Musabhai Mutva That’s why Declan John has been loaned out to rangers
Musabhai Mutva Swansea are definitely better than Celtic coming a Cardiff fan
Definitely needed subtitles for this one hahaha
Might want to update this mate RANGERS ARE HERE 🔵⚪️🔴🏴🏴🏴🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
No we are making grow higher
It's very easy for English Football fans to talk down the Scottish game - and they like to do it all the time - which is odd, because it's a pointless comparison. England is ten times the size of Scotland (in population terms) and the money involved in their game is sheer lunacy. However, the Scottish Premiership is still the best supported league in Europe (per head of population), different teams have been winning trophies in the last few years and despite the £Billions involved down south, the 'top teams' in England have been falling short in Europe recently. One day, the EPL will collapse on itself as the model is unsustainable. Try comparing the leagues then; when your Russian Oligarchs and Yank businessmen are no longer allowed to throw money around! Until such measures are taken, here's some advice; stick to supporting your own team, be proud of it, and leave others to do the same.
It’s not dead there’s just no money in it. The quality is better than most imagine. The standard has been raised over the last couple years. I prefer it to the premier league as there’s a lot more atmosphere in Scottish grounds.
Try not knock it too much.
From Liverpool me but will always go up to Hibs three for four times a season and it's well better than watching Everton week in week out. Fans and the competition in general is better than the Prem from first hand experience
Hibs 2-1 Celtic
The Celtic Premiership
West Ham shite club
At least they won more than west ham 😂xd
I think it is getting better and now that Hearts Hibs and Rangers are back in the SPL it's only a matter of time before another team win the league. People knock Celtic say it's easy but Brendan Rogers has improved them and he has raised the bar in Scottish football.
Celtic have raised the level and its up to the others to improve. An example of “just plodding along” is in Australia where the mentality is “there is always next year” with no relegation teams get complacent and near the end of every season , they just go through the motions. Promotion and relegation is vital for a competitive league.
So many ignorant and arrogant English football fans on here.Like what was said in the video ,it's because we are so close to England scottish football looks so poor.Yes the quality isn't great,yes the teams don't perform well in Europe And yes it's certainly far from being the most glamorous league in the world.But for a country the size of Scotland we have a very good product.So many passionate supporters and the games are usually always exciting ,usually more so than the premiership snoozefests you see on sky these days.Scotland also has the highest attendences in Europe based on population.
And England is a big country lol? The English league was built from nothing as well thats no excuse
Naira Gatsby of course it makes a difference lol there's 10x the amount of people there to try and get to attend a game.Every league in the world started from nothing so dunno what that point is ment to even be
So why you complaining about Scotlands size? England was a small country with cricket being the main sport but they made football a wealthy sport. WHat is stopping Scotland from doing the same?
Naira Gatsby Forget about the past. You really think that 60,000,000 people (plus 3,000,000) for Welsh teams isn't gonna get a better TV deal, money for leagues etc? Of course it will. Compare this to Scotland which has 6,000,000 people. We can't make football bigger and worth more because until each club becomes equal on terms of finances, Celtic will dominate and our country's size proves that despite this, we have the best attendance to population of country and our atmosphere is better even if the quality of football isn't the 'snoozefests' of the EPL.
Naira Gatsby hey dummy, do you think it’s a coincidence the best leagues in Europe are all countries that have 50 million plus people.
Look as off right now not a single Scottish team would last in a league like the BPL but if some teams were put into the championship league (Celtic, Rangers and Aberdeen) they would probs start earning a lot more money and start bringing in better players, and I’d say in about 3-5 years some clubs would eventually get to BPL standard or atleast near the mid-table...
HanzoMainOfficial Celtic be top 6 in few seasons. One biggest clubs on earth.
Paul Laing celtic has squad of a relagation team how are they better than
Liverpool
Man city
Man utd
Spurs
Chelsea
Arsenal
?????
Keion Payne you telling me Celtic can't compete for revenue in a few seasons?
Keion Payne did you even read his point? Don't you get if Celtic were in England we wouldn't have this squad of players.
Paul Laing Not nocesserally. Aston Villa have a similar sized fan base as Celtic, and UCL success like Celtic and they're in the Championship. Club size doesn't guarantee you top of the table especially when you already have well established clubs competing at the top of that league already such as United, City, Spurs, Liverpool, Chelsea will also bounce right back up there no doubt. So it's not a certainty Celtic would do well 5 years in that league
Short answer, NO, its entertaining, modest, passionate and it has the best national cup final in Britain more often than not, just ask the people that watch it, like mcmanaman and Gerard for example.
The same thing was proabably asked about rangers from the late 80s to early 90s
COYB
It was never alive to start with
boner _9 I’m guessing ur English
Great video
same with bayern, psg, rb salzburg, dynamo zagreb, etc...
There needs to be a British league system
Preston North End will never happen. Maybe a British cup one day but doubt a league will happen
Tony Blair half heartedly tried to bring it together once but it would benefit everyone financially and socially it does make sense.
The idea of a cup between England and Scotland’s league champions sounds interesting tbf
Celtic ain't british
No
Stop critisising them for being good. Critisise their opponents for being bad.
It's easy being good when you have ten times the money.
The standard of the top 6 in Scotland the last 2 years has increased massively, Celtic still miles ahead but hoping the other sides can continue to improve aswell
Can you do a video on the rise in popularity in the League of Ireland.
They can’t kill what’s already dead
Fact
s
so the scottish league is dead cause we dont get the over priced shite that english football does aye okay pal go ask any scottish person which games have a better atmosphere scottish games or the english games. English like has too many tourist fans that know nothing about the teams in it where would the big name teams be without there imported money ie man city chelsea
Andrew Smith I agree about the fans, they are so deluded but the Scottish league is the same every year, Celtic always win. Also, where is the quality in that league it’s a load of shite.
Zach Anderson wheres the quality in the scottish league? well lets just say van dijk, wanyama werent getting noticed at the clubs they were at before celtic question is would they be playing for spurs or liverpool today if they didnt get noticed in celtic... nope, alot of the scottish team bring through young players and give them the chance unlike alot of the big teams in england but lets be honest about it whats killing football in general is the stupid prices for players thats whats killing it for the smaller leagues like scottish league we dont get the money they do down south we get 2 to 3 million tops for winning the league england get what 100 million just for being in the league thats the difference right there and yeah al agree celtic have been winning the league for years but thats because our greatest rival hasnt been in the league for alot of they years aye they might be back now but they arent the same team the used to be its a shame to see but al happily win the league every year because when we get in the champions league and people say we have no chance aye against some teams al agree didnt think we had a chance against man city and we gave they a better challenge than any english team had that season.
How is it dead? Yeah celtic are running away with it. But its a three horse race for second. Its the most competitive its been in a long time
Bring 'em into the Premier league, we'll see how the "Champs" is...
ActionmanFX what are the bets you’ve never been to United game
.guswhite. don't get salty because celtic aren't good
Irene Akaluogbo hahahahahah am not a Celtic fan who do u support Tarzan United?
Scotland has a fantastic footballing history for such a small country. I don't know what people expect from a country so small.
My local league is the Australian A - League. I'd hand over Crocodile Dundee's tooth necklace AND a clipping from Scott Robinson's mullet for our league to be as entertaining as the SPL was this season.
The league is the only league i. the world where they can make Titus Bramble look like Kolo Toure in his prime
We just lost 2-1 to Hibs in a brilliant end to end game which Hibs fully deserved
bUt CeLtIc ArE rUiNiNg ScOtTiSh FoOtBaLl
A Person yes
Unpopular opinion but as a Motherwell fan the Edinburgh derby is so much better than the old firm 👌
Good video 👍
Wait Scotland has a football league ?
Who's waiting for Monday to see Poets reaction about Wenger
That's a fair point. For the size of the country, to maintain the same league structure as England has (In terms of top four division, albeit with less teams in each league) is impressive, especially when you look at Ireland for example.
Passion wise, yeah maybe Scotland has the edge on us, certainly as far as the premierships go, but English Football isn't just the prem. The fact that you get teams like Hereford just now getting promoted back up to the sixth tier, and still pulling in 5000 or so in the 7th and 8th tiers should tell something about that. Look at Lincoln City and tell me they don't have passion.
Anyway, I don't really care for the EPL. Non-league up to the championship is what I like. What's the point in watching your team jostle for top six every year? No playoffs, no promotion, just relegation, and maybe European Football with the same big clubs in Europe winning it every year. Watching your team win a relegation battle in league two is fucking amazing, but not in the premiership.
Great Game
Congrats to Hibs 😎The Scottish League should join the EPL ?
The English arrogance is hilarious look at Celtics last 10/15 games against English 'top flight' teams. The epl is the most overrated league in the world
Keith McFadyen
When was the last time a Scottish team got to UCL semi finals?
And it's the best league in the world, no team has defended their title in about 9 years, whereas Celtic have won 7 in a row. Levels
Henry Bownes seems like you're replying to lots of comments aswell. "Just our opinions" take it easy.
Henry Bownes when was the last time any team that has Celtics budget get to the semis of the champions league?........
99% of football fans use "competitive" when in reality the correct word would be "inconsistent"
competitiveness is when lots of teams play really good football and all have a chance to the title. That is clearly not the case in English football, where pretty much any title winner has completely flopped the next season. Leicester winning the title is not proof for "competitiveness". Chelsea being 10th, winning the title, then back down to europa league football is not "competitiveness". All you delusional idiots try to pass off your bullshit "big six" as if anybody but the top 2 by november have a chance.
The inconsistency in the EPL is due to the style of play that doesn't promote good football whatsoever. That's why la liga has dominated the champions league. La liga plays way better football, and demands mechanical greatness from every team. Sociedad and Malaga are incredibly difficult to beat at home, Celta are a fantastic team who can knock out anyone; they beat madrid over two legs last season, and embarassed barca as well. Eibar, despite being basically a new club with a puny budget, have extracted fantastic football from their players to be a consistent top-10 spanish team.
Every team in la liga has the ability to beat players with the ball. Call it flash or whatever excuse you want, but it's the highest skill level there is. I love how man city brings the spanish style of football to england and absolutely destroys everyone. And still you egomaniacs are so blinded by your own media that you can't see what's happening right in front of you.
Celtic are killing Scottish football because they’re winning hahaha😂
Ye, there is no competition all they have done is out spend every team
TheDicamillo if only your club was that dominant on the park. 🍀1️⃣0️⃣
TheDicamillo hard man
2cer3al wit are u talking about? rangers have spent the most this season and still cant win against us lol
Sean the Gamer Fox well said fella
I’m also a st Mirren fan and I would agree in the sense of it’s not dead
Im a celtic fan but i think we are quite overhyped in terms of how we would do in england i think at the moment we would be battling for survival in the prem but given time we could turn in to a decent side if we were in that position plus i think it would be good for us to start somewhere like the championship to get a grip of english football and what it takes to be a prem team it also isnt really fair if all of a sudden we get moved to the prem when u have some decent sized teams (however not as nearly as big as celtic) in the chapionship wanting promotion
Where’s the video on how money has completely killed English football? Manchester City won the premier league last week and Celtic have yet to win the spfl. Celtic have lost more games than Man City this season yet the spfl is less competitive. The English game is a load of pish with stadiums filled with tourists and shocking atmospheres. People who go to Scottish games don’t go for a day out they go to support their teams and that will never change. Scottish football also has one of the best supported leagues per person in Europe. How about people stop jumping on the “Scottish football is pish” bandwagon and end their obsession with talking the game down.
Celtic should move to the premier league. It will be exciting to see them challenging for the title.
Oh sorry not title I meant try to avoid relegation.
They need to start from league 2 to make it fair
To be honest celtic are championship standard
Irene Akaluogbo but they wouldnt be by the time they get the EPL money, with a fanbase like Celtics they'd fire to the top 6 in a few years, club as far bigger than Man City, Arsenal etc and they managed it
Irene Akaluogbo that’s why I wouldn’t want Celtic moved in England imagine having to start there n not being able to attract players
True
Considering you only have to play them about 4 times in a year it’s not that bad but when you think about the cup it’s disappointing because we would’ve had a chance at the league cup and they just dominated us (obviously the diving didn’t help)
Since the re-branding of English top flight division 1 to English Premier league in 1992, one team has dominated english football above all, Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United who has won the title 13 times in the last 25 years and only four teams has manage to break their dominance albeit temporarily. Blackburn Rovers were the first team to win the title other than Manchester United back in 1994/95 season when under Kenny Dalgish and of course new owner Jack Walker who injected millions in the club to take them from league 1 to all the way premier league winners in very short span of time. But Blackburn failed to build on their success and got relegated a few years later
Celtic can only play what’s in front of them. You cannot blame us for the state of Scottish football
Hibs 2-1 Celtic. Scottish football is NOT dead
What song is playing in the video?
It'd be nice if fans of rangers & celtic actually supported their local teams rather than glory hunt.
Scottish football is always just a battle for fourth place
1st Celtic
2nd rangers
3rd aderdeen
Then it’s just a scrap of crap for fourth place
However I still like Scottish football because of the passion and fight
Villa Boy there are 3 teams tied on 62 points this season. It's a battle for second
You mean
1st Aberdeen
2nd Hibs
.......
11th Celtic
12th Rangers
Villa Boy what about Hibs we played Celtic of the park today and we look like we can challenge for the title next season we got the most points this year out of any team so why not
Hearts, Kilmarnock and Motherwell are on the up while Aberdeen, Hibs and Rangers are all competing for 2nd place. More competitive than you think so stick your opinion up your arse
Some things change quickly, not long ago Inverness were looking 3rd or 4th best in Scotland, now mid-table Championship.
Rangers fans are the only ones who say it is, Funny that......
Craig Douglas have u read the comments mate, it’s England that says its dead
I’m a rangers fan and I don’t think it is
So Craig, coming from someone like myself who supports an English team, you're saying it's not dead? Your national team hasn't qualified for a major tournament in 20 years, your best team in that league crashes out of the champions league group stage, or get's half way through the Europa League at a push, co efficient is low thus 1st place isn't even a UCL spot anymore, no title race for 7 years. This isn't a Rangers agenda, many fans outside of Scotland agree Scottish football is not interesting, there's no point in it when we know who's gonna win the league before a ball is kicked. It's pointless
CRS there has been no title race in England in the last few years always a dominant team
..after England's last showing at the World cup, I wouldn't brag too loudly about 'national teams and major tournaments'. Rock bottom of your group behind Italy, Uruguay and Costa Rica. In the same way you laugh at Scotland, the world laughs at you.
Am Celtic fan and there is no competition but there is great passion
Conjnr04 Connor We’ve lost more league games than Man City has...
