Top 6 in the Championship, maybe. Someone took Brenda's pills away so he started talking shit out of his ass again.
Celtic would be top 6 in the Premier League
- Thread starter Peanut Butter
- Start date
Well as their name starts with a C it's realistic they might be top 6 on the first day of the season.
Relegation fodder after that though.

So the Scots want independence but also want Celtic and Rangers to join the English Premier League? Makes Sense.
This is a joke isnt it? 5th and 6th place sides, boast players like Miki, Pogba, Irbahimovic and Arsenal Sanchelz, Ozil, Cazorla, etc etc and Celtic boast... Scott Sinclair.
Get out. I don't want those joker clubs anywhere near our league either, or their sectarian BS.

Mid table championship team..that's roughly their level. Nothing else.
But all of those players that were any good would be raided immediately by anyone in the top 6.
As opposed to that cracking Swansea game earlier, and that's from 2 teams getting tens of millions in from TV money.
They wouldn't be fighting relegation for at least the first 3 seasons if they survived that long.
Brendon's grasp on reality is such that he doesn't seem to understand that even the smallest premier league teams have more financial clout than Celtic.

Celtic is the best in the Scottish League...no doubt about it...
Sometimes, in their ground they made a difficulty for big teams in Europe...
But in EPL, they will be just relegation battlers...
No offence for Celtic fans, take an example if we exclude Boro and replace it with them in next Season...
They will play 38 games home and away...
Against big clubs (in current or traditional way of history) : Arsenal, Liverpool, Man City, Man United, Chelsea, Spurs - total 12 games, in paper only, Home and Away they won't stand a chance...At home may be they can steal a draw...
Against settled Mid Clubs : Everton, Southampton, Stoke, WBA, Watford, and Westham - total 12 games, in paper only, they can have wins over 3 W's club...perhaps Stoke also could be beaten at Ibrox...
Against unstable Clubs : Leicester, Crystal Palace, Hull, Burnley, Bournemouth, Swansea, Sunderland - total 14 games. However, based on current performance, those teams are strong in their Home game, bar Sunderland...at Ibrox, perhaps they could win over Sunderland, Bournemouth, Hull, and Burnley...
Stupidly say by me, the best they can get is 14-17 positions...avoid relegation at the best...

Maybe but they would be relegated within a season. Then they would be great for the Championship.
Saw the Old Firm the other week -- feck me backwards!
Brighton and Newcastle would cream them.

Liverpool should be docked points for their ex manager talking shit.
He's probably right. Premiership ain't hot this season.
The incoherent rantings of a deranged and bitter man. There is no way Celtic would even be in the top 12 never mind top 6. I think Southampton, Stoke and Leicester would comfortably beat them. He had his one shot at becoming a big league manager, but his hopes went up in smoke when Gerrard slipped. Then there was Crystanbul which was the final nail in the coffin. Since then, Rodgers has been skulking around like a ghost in the nether regions of the football world, no big club will have him, so he went to Celtic in an attempt to rebuild his tattered career. However, the SPL is such a backwater that he could win 10 titles in a row with Celtic and still never be considered even for the Swansea or Sunderland jobs.
He should have been wiser in his career choices, but I don't feel sorry for him. He has ruined himself with his arrogance. Completely undone by Steven Gerrard, this does not fecking slip, wow those words must be haunting Rodgers every single night.

They wouldn't be top 6 in the championship
I reckon given they'd be a draw for a lot better quality of player than they can currently get, their support, stadium and Rodgers at the helm that they'd give the top six a good crack in their 2nd season in the PL.
Glasgow is and always will be a tough place to get any kind of result, the fans are terrific.
That alone would propel them to top half of the league, maybe higher after a season or two to adjust.

It takes more than a large stadium and fanatical support. Just ask Newcastle.
Surely he meant the Championship?
Everton, Leicester and even Southampton probably beat them comfortably.
This season, no chance. Not even top half. They have the occasional good performance in Europe, but it's not enough. Compare those European nights at Celtic Park to a home game on a Saturday lunchtime against Hamilton. The place isn't bouncing then. The fans might kick up a storm when the big boys come to town, but are they going to be bouncing at home to David Moyes' hapless Sunderland? They have a few decent players, but just about every club in the top half of the PL this season has a better squad than Celtic.
There seems to be a belief that with PL money and their fanbase, they would be guaranteed success in the Premier League given a few seasons. Manchester United, among the absolute biggest and richest clubs in the world, under the rule of one of the best managers in the world, home of the most expensive footballer in the world, who possess arguably the biggest fanbase in the world, can't even break in to the top 4 this season. Anyone who thinks Celtic would just stroll into battle with the current top 6 and look right at home is underestimating how tough the league is and the quality that is spread from top to bottom. They'd be a top half side given time, I am sure, but there's more to it than just being a club with lots of fans.

It's a bit of a meaningless notion really. If they're in the Premier League, they benefit from an extra £50-100m of TV money they don't get now. Or you can turn that on its head and say that if Stoke were in the SPL, they'd probably win the league or thereabouts with their current income levels, but with Scottish TV income levels, they'd soon be hacking about in the bottom half of the league.
I think the result of the referendum in 2014 would suggest the Scots (as in more than half) don't want independence.
Kieran Tierney is quality
He's a bit stupid to be honest, walking a league where there is literally no competition is not an achievement at all and anyone who believes it is needs their head checked. He'd be mid-table at best.
Sorry not being finicky as maybe it was just a slight slip of the tongue but Ranger’s home ground is Ibrox and Celtic’s home ground is Celtic Park
As to how Celtic would get on playing in the premiership; definitely they are not a top six team, nor would I say are they a mid-table team. I would say they would be near the bottom fighting relegation and at a guess they would survive the relegation fight. That’s just a guess though.
I do believe with a number of years ‘if’ they were in the premiership they would steadily climb the table as with a lot higher revenue, huge support and their large stadium they would attract good players. However, if they remained in the premiership for a number of years - I can see them eventually doing well enough to be seen as a mid-table team at best. Anyway this is all hypothetical.
Tbf he said 6th.
What else he gonna say... Celtic are championship level?

He's expected to win it, but the way he's won it is better than expected. I think. I don't follow them closely but that seems to be the general feeling.
I don't think they'd be top six or top seven but behind Everton (maybe West Bromwich) there's such a mass of closely-matched teams that it's perhaps not that unlikely that they could hope for eighth (which is both close to his prediction and mid-table.)
A game or two can be the difference between being top ten and slipping towards relegation.
With their current team, playing with confidence they could make top half of the table.
In the long run, with the extra tv/sponsorship money, good management plus the appeal they have as a club (fantastic support and great history) there is no reason they couldn't do what Spurs are doing now, maybe even better.
As for Rangers, well.... they are a lot further behind. Their squad, bar a couple players such as McKay, is championship level. Loyal support but much less appealing than Celtic and a badly run club at the moment. They would take much longer to have any sort of significant impact on English football if they entered it right now.

People are really overrating Premiership here, Celtic would easily be at least midtable. Relegation? You are having a laugh!
There would be murder every week.
Liverpool actually get on with Celtic and always have done and I can't think of a club that has been there for us regarding Hillsborough . Maybe Everton. We get along with Rangers too as historically Liverpool is a Protestant club. Imagine Celtic or Rangers playing in London on a regular basis . The thought isn't a pleasant one.
To answer the OP Celtic wouldn't be in the top six at all.
I'd disagree, player for player, I think even Swansea are better than Celtic, and we're relegation candidates.
That has nothing to do with Liverpool as a city though. More to do with wages I reckon.
Maybe they could surprise some people and finish in the top half, but I don't think they'd finish above West Brom for example.
Not instantly, but they'd be pushing it in no time. In any case, the current definition of the PL elite -which has just increased from a 'top 4' to a 'top 6'- would expand again. Celtic ought to stay where they are; guaranteed Champions League football.
If Celtic want to join the English leagues, let them join the conference, if they are allowed in. Probably expect the likes of Lincoln & Tranmere to beat them. Anyone whose captain is Scott Brown, is hardly top level.
If he meant the Celtic team as it is now then no, but if he means Celtic with PL money then of course yes. Look at the crowds they get at Parkhead.
Feck off, would be lucky to be in the top division.
