Thats the way the SPL looks just now, now lets just take a sample of how things have gone in the Naughties - see where we are all at.

2000/01 - SPL Winners Celtic, Scottish Cup Winners Celtic, League Cup Winners Celtic
2001/02 - SPL Winners Celtic, Scottish Cup Winners Rangers, League Cup Winners Rangers
2002/03 - SPL Winners Rangers, Scottish Cup Winners Rangers, League Cup Winners Rangers
2003/04 - SPL Winners Celtic, Scottish Cup Winners Celtic, League Cup Winners Livingston
2004/05 - SPL Winners Rangers, Scottish Cup Winners Celtic, League Cup Winners Rangers
2005/06 - SPL Winners Celtic, Scottish Cup Winners Hearts, League Cup Winners Celtic
2006/07 - SPL Winners Celtic, Scottish Cup Winners Celtic, League Cup Winners Hibs

So out of the 21 possible trophies since 2000/01 Celtic have won 11, Rangers have won 7, Hearts, Hibs and Livingston have all won 1 a piece, but strangely none of them have reached the top of the SPL. 
 

Your definitely not mistaken, though both Celtic and Rangers struggled at the weekend.  Celtic have been struggling since we where knocked out the last 16 of the Champions League last year by AC Milan, but hey we're still top of the SPL - infact we will probably still win the league but why let that get in the way of a score draw eh.  I mean when was the last time Aberdeen actually won anything?  Yet all the sheep molesting folk up North got helluva wet in their panties after they managed to get to the last 32 of the UEFA cup.  Stunning achievement. 

I really shouldn't rise to the bait, but nothing irritates me more than fans of peripheral clubs getting smug when they manage an annual upset.

You're still shite though in the grand scheme of things

[TightEnd]

and actually, i don't think the dominance of two clubs over so many years is something to celebrate

Neither for that matter do i think the dominance of 3-4 in the EPL is that exciting either

and I find it mildly insulting that the attitude of a fan of a bigger club is that clubs with fewer resources are "peripheral". Not to fans of those clubs they aren't

In many cases, such very occasional upsets are one of the few things that liven up the tedium of leagues where the disparity of resources are so high

I don't think its healthy either Mr End and I welcome the challenge from all comers.

However I don't regard either Aberdeen or Hibs for that matter as challengers, Aberdeen are pish full stop.  They raise their game against Rangers very much like the way Hearts do against Celtic.  Hibs have some quality young players - I just wish Celtic and Rangers would stop sigining them and give them an opportunity to grow their team. 

Ironside seems to be stuck in a time warp though referring to The Sheep Pen as the "home of Gods" LMAO - really?  Who was the last God to play up there for Aberdeen?

[Colchester Kev]

 Who was the last God to play up there for Aberdeen?

Steve Archibald.

Last celtic & rangers  god ...

Alfie Conn.

I saw both games, Celtic were terrible again, but really should still have won.
Abaaahdeen were horrible yesterday, Rangers were by far the better team even though they played with 10 men for over an hour & were actually down to 9 when Aberdeen equalised. If they didn't have such a donkey up front Rangers would have won comfortably.

The only thing going for Aberdeen was they didn't back down to Rangers physical approach , if Celtic don't meet this challenge head on next week then we won't win.

I said in another thread last week that whoever wins the league this season would do so with a record low points total, this weekend only reinforced that opinion.

Good honest post Stevie,

And the attack on the Aberdeen player by McCulloch after his copycat/revenge tackle on Hutton was discraceful!! What happened to the old days of "If you're gonna give it you better be prepared to take it in return"

wow, this kind of post explains why both Rangers and Celtic fans are incapable of talking about football without resorting to digs and bile, Celtic are a peripheral football club in the football world, do you understand that Aberdeen celebrating a good result against Rangers or Hibs celebrating a good result against Celtic is just as important to them as you celebrating reaching the next Champions league round?

Lets be honest, any club that celebrates reaching round 2 of the Champions League isnt really a Champions league standard club are they, and thats not a dig at Scottish teams, its the same Europe wide.

Really?

[bobby1]

'Yet all the sheep molesting folk up North got helluva wet in their panties after they managed to get to the last 32 of the UEFA cup.  Stunning achievement.'

and that line sums it up perfectly, you have a go at a team for celebrating reaching the last 32 of the Uefa cup yet that comp actually provides Celtic with their biggest success of the last 30 odd years. The ran 2nd in it.

Celtic fans going wild when you reached the Champions league 2nd round is the same as Aberdeen fans getting excited by reaching the last 32 of the Uefa cup.

Yeah Celtic are a peripheral club!  Some of you guys talk some ammount of bollocks about football.  Celtic is an institution not just a football club.  BarringMan United there is no team in the "Biggest League in the World" that has the support Celtic has.
