Celtic fans not worried about Lennons total lack of experience in management?  I know he got some games last season but he only had to manage glorified friendlies (except for the Ross County game).  A few of the Celtic signings seem decent from the outset but I think for Celtic this season the manager will be more of a problem than the players.  If Celtic arent top of the league by xmas the Celtic fans will be calling for his head bemoaning his lack of experience so the pressure really is on Lennon to get off to a fast start, or at least a faster start than Rangers

Yeah its a fair point, any new appointment is a gamble but more so when its your first job.

I'm not any more concerned than I was last year... Barry Ferguson was a far bigger miss in the centre of the field last season than Kevin Thomson will ever be. We also lost Hemdani, then Mendes mid season. Edu didnt play much last year due to injury then because we were winning couldnt change the formula but he is a far better ball player than thomson, Less reckless and less injury prone! Edu will almost be like a new signing next year when he becomes a starter

We also have Andy Webster Back who we loaned out to Dundee Utd last year...As I said my confidence is in Walter Smith and what he can achieve with a threadbare squad! I still think we will win the league.

For the past 2 seasons your lot have laughed, joked and absolutely slaughtered us about HBOS select, we're run by the bank, cant afford our own bus fare etc etc yet we have won the league 2 seasons in a row...with Nae dough! You would actually think you would learn your lesson about spouting off things like "5/6 is absolutely buying money" as we have all heard this before.

Miller would be a huge loss however and I really hope we dont lose him!

Fair enough, still think you're wrong though as I think the 3 years of downsizing will catch up with you this season, you're an absolute shambles off the park and deserve all the stick you get. At the same time we were a total shambles for much of last season and deserved all the stick that we got, I just can't see us being that bad again this season.

I don't make rash predictions on here as you end up looking daft but I would price it up 4/7 Celtic 11/8 Rangers. I just think Rangers will find it difficult to sustain a challenge with their current squad and ever worsening financial position, God knows your chairman, manager and players have referenced it often enough but its your team and your quite right to back them.

To be honest you've made some really good points on the state of Rangers as a club.....yous guys have spent a fair bit of dosh on players and that looks to continue...whereas we probably wont make many signings...certainly nothing marquee and probably nothing to get too much excited about.....so you would have to agree that with the total state that Rangers are in; and the fact you guys are spending quite a bit of dosh on players that it would be an absolute embarrassment to Celtic if we were to win the title this year? Even more so than last year?

To be fair, every year we lose the league to you lot is an embarrassment!
