So they'll have Goldson and Katic. SPFL Champions dreams await...now, where did I put Moussa Dembele?

A yawning gap...or are we just yawning?

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep Spoiler: click to toggle Celtic fans have never had it so good. Seven titles on the bounce and back-to-back Trebles for their team add up to total dominance in Scotland.
In Brendan Rodgers the club has a manager with the nous and drive to demand even more from his squad and push them to that elusive ten in a row.
The club is in fine health financially, light years ahead of its rivals, and set to coin in even more cash – a whopping £37m if the team can match last term’s Champions League campaign.
If that wasn’t enough for the Hoops faithful, they have been feasting on jelly and ice cream since Rangers went into meltdown and took four years to reach the top flight again.
The gift that wouldn’t stop giving brought joy unconfined as their rivals stumbled from one crisis to another, almost on a weekly basis it seemed.
The only blip has been Europe. Getting to the group stages was all that could be expected, given the elite opposition, but too many hammerings brought criticism.
Rodgers refused to park the bus against superstar teams. This split the fans, with a significant amount willing to accept close defeats rather than humiliation.
However, Rodgers is approaching Jock Stein status among the fans who just can’t get enough of their hero.
Even off the field, things are booming. Celtic Way has been refurbished and £4m invested in a hybrid pitch and sound system to enhance the matchday experience.
The boardroom is also in good shape. Chief executive Peter Lawwell and billionaire shareholders Dermot Desmond and Denis O’Brien have shrewdly moved the club forward in Rangers’ absence.
There is an envious bank balance that makes all the other Scottish clubs look like paupers. The biscuit tin era has been replaced by slick corporate governance.
In fact, the club that was established to feed the poor is now the establishment club.
In Glasgow’s online football forums and blogs, a mind-numbing cocktail of the rabid and the righteous, the bragging rights firmly belong to the Hoops.
Unarguably then, this is the best era ever for Celtic . Life is good. And the future looks even rosier.
Or it did. Until the force that is Steven Gerrard stormed into Ibrox and an ominous dark cloud appeared over Paradise.
The balance of power may, finally, be about to shift. Nothing lasts for ever.
The calibre of this remarkable man is exceptional. In a stellar career, from 1998 to 2016, he played 748 club games plus 114 for his country.
He is the only player to have scored in a FA Cup Final, League Cup Final, UEFA Cup Final and Champions League Final, winning them all.
In 2009, Zinedine Zidane and Pele insisted the Liverpool and England skipper was the best footballer in the world.
That’s the sort of experience and pedigree which most managers, including Rodgers, can only dream about.
On the pitch, his skills were abundant – long and short passing, lung-bursting box-to-box runs, ferocious tackling, lethal finishing. A one-man game-changer oozing leadership, drive, vision, courage.
Off the pitch, he has the charisma and credibility that only comes from a glittering career. He’s been there, done that and then some.
He also handles the media well – concise, insightful, intelligent. No daft promises.
Not every player becomes a successful coach but if sports psychologists could program a computer to come up with the perfect modern day manager it would probably spit out a Gerrard clone.
Of all the ex-stars now looking to become bosses you’d put this guy near the top of any list to prosper.
A born winner, he’s never failed at anything, and he will have learned much from the fabled Anfield bootroom.
Estimates of his personal wealth range from £60 to £100m. He could sit on a beach for the next 20 lifetimes but he’s put his reputation on the line at Ibrox for his first stab at management.
That takes bottle and an iron will to succeed. He knows the scale of the challenge in catching Celtic but that won’t be enough for the Liverpool legend. His target will be to overtake them before he leaves Glasgow.
He has no fear, only belief that he’ll prevail, and a work ethic to get there. He’ll do all the hard miles and make sure the players and staff match his desire.
Only a fool would doubt him but, surprisingly, many football pundits in Scotland did just that. Rangers imploded six years ago and there have been too many false dawns in that time – perhaps they are wary of another failure.
Tellingly, the game’s great and good in England, who know him better, insist he’ll thrive.
Regardless, the qualities of the new Gers boss guarantee a gripping season ahead and the main event will be the rivalry between Gerrard and Rodgers.
Both are smart enough to be respectful to each other on the record but privately there will be an almighty battle.
After the Gerrard appointment, Rodgers spoke of ‘how important it was for a new manager like Stevie to pick the right club’, which could easily be construed as a sly dig at Rangers being the wrong club.
That was the first shot across the bow. They’re not bosom buddies. A fascinating fight is about to unfold.
The odds are massively in Celtic’s favour. Gerrard and his assistant Gary McAllister – who was Rodgers’s first-team coach at Liverpool – know how big a challenge they face to overcome their old gaffer.
They won’t underestimate his qualities or tactical acumen or the ease with which he can spend lavishly to strengthen an already impressive squad.
That shouldn’t phase Gerrard who was the driving force in the ‘Miracle in Istanbul’ when he pulled Liverpool back from a 3-0 thrashing against a star-studded AC Milan to win the Champions League Final in 2005.
He doesn’t do easy. He’s grafted since he was a boy on a tough Liverpool estate to become a global superstar. Now there are other mountains to scale. His DNA won’t let him chill.
He’s not swapping a luxury mansion in Liverpool with his wife and four children for a solitary apartment in Glasgow just to play second fiddle.
He achieved as much as you can on the field, now he wants to do it from the bench. Those who think he’ll soon be sent back down the road with his tail between his legs are in for a shock – and a large helping of humble pie.
‘Let’s go’ wasn’t just a soundbite. He meant it. "...the force that is Steven Gerrard..."
John Barnes had won the league as a player.
Didn’t win the European Cup though At least partly because they were banned during that era. Liverpool would have entered the EC in 86/87, 88/89 and 90/91 but for that.
Oddly enough, Barnes' only appearances in the EC/CL would have been for Newcastle in 97/98 (the first year they let runners-up in).

Alex Mooney claims he was once a Celtic fan http://www.therangersstandard.co.uk/index.php/articles/current-affairs/304-across-the-great-divide He was certainly a Celtic fan when I knew him, though - like Keevins - always with the backhanded compliments that made you wonder if someone at Celtic had shat in his shoes at some point.
He's also a complete contrarian and professional shampoo-stirrer who will literally say anything for the money. So, ideal for putting his name to that kind of garbage really

They are a weird bunch. Met a couple on holiday who seemed fine, another couple turned up & joined the chat - soon discovered they were both Huns & it very quickly turned sour. The next day he was down the beach with his orange top on, which I laughed at & they wouldn't look our way after that.
Wouldn't have minded if they were older (in a way, I might forgive the WATP attitude) but they were not even in their 30s with kids & are deeply steeped in this pish. The girl was speaking to my wife for ages & then would completely blank her, as she thought she was a catholic - insane.
Anyway, hell mend them. We'll stick to double & Invincible Trebles & they can stick to the 17th Century. Met a mother and her two daughters from Hamilton in Mexico recently. Somehow the conversation got on to football and they said almost apologetically that they were Rangers fans. But only because the dad and husband had been a Rangers man before he passed 4 years ago. They said he had no time for the bigotry and neither did they. Even after I told them I was a Celtic fan they were still as nice a family as I ever met tbh. I told them they were too pretty to be Rangers fans and they laughed good naturedly. Every time we passed them on the beach I would shout "Hail Hail" and they laughed. Never stopped being friendly to us all during the holiday. So quite a different experience to yours, although I've had your type of experience a few times before.

They are a weird bunch. Met a couple on holiday who seemed fine, another couple turned up & joined the chat - soon discovered they were both Huns & it very quickly turned sour. The next day he was down the beach with his orange top on, which I laughed at & they wouldn't look our way after that.
Wouldn't have minded if they were older (in a way, I might forgive the WATP attitude) but they were not even in their 30s with kids & are deeply steeped in this pish. The girl was speaking to my wife for ages & then would completely blank her, as she thought she was a catholic - insane.
Anyway, hell mend them. We'll stick to double & Invincible Trebles & they can stick to the 17th Century.
Met a mother and her two daughters from Hamilton in Mexico recently. Somehow the conversation got on to football and they said almost apologetically that they were Rangers fans. But only because the dad and husband had been a Rangers man before he passed 4 years ago. They said he had no time for the bigotry and neither did they. Even after I told them I was a Celtic fan they were still as nice a family as I ever met tbh. I told them they were too pretty to be Rangers fans and they laughed good naturedly. Every time we passed them on the beach I would shout "Hail Hail" and they laughed. Never stopped being friendly to us all during the holiday. So quite a different experience to yours, although I've had your type of experience a few times before. Bastard!! I was waiting for the punch line, like Andy Goram's flowers.

"Katic, who joins from Slaven Belupo, is believed to have cost Gers (sic) in the region of £2million."

Then later that evening I sat down and thought: "Holy shampoo, kellybhoy, haven't you been smoking peyote for six straight days and couldn't some of this maybe be in your mind?...and it was. I've never even been to Mexico."

A Rangers supporting workmate has just told me that Hummel have the naming rights for their training ground and that’s where the money for signings is coming from.
