Fan base is clearly a good measure, not the measure but a good one.

and Celtic are clearly a massive club, you only need to look at any home Champions League match to see that.

But this is pretty pointed at all clubs, no? Anyone can have a better atmosphere on a CL match.

What you forget to mention is when there support is pretty poor, apparently they got 15k in a cup match at the weeken? Would these massive clubs ever get 15k in any sort of match?

Man U, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Barca, Madrid, Bayern, Ajax, Juve, Milan, Inter & others, do they ever get 15k?

The fact is that Celtic are not cared about anywhere other than Scotland.

Aaron Aaron. Are you trying to troll? I'm not sure

I hold no candle for Celtic, but they are massively supported the world over. Huge in America (obv), European supporters clubs, Far East

Genuinely a big big club.

ha, everytime I have an opinion that is not agreed with - I am trolling? ha.

Who is to say there isn't going to be a brilliant atmosphere at other grounds for a CL match?

I think as much as anything it´s that people hope for your sake that you are trolling, if all of these opinions are your genuine considered standpoint then you have my sympathy.

lol.

They aren't cared about out of Scotland though - They are just a list of supporters clubs.

Are Celtic a top 20 worldwide club?

I would take alist of their supporters clubs as a measure of a large club over your "These days if you get a European to name top European clubs, Chelsea would be there before Celtic was". What measure is that exactly?

You hammer the perfectly reasonable measures of Celtic being a top club then come out with lines like that? Blatant trolling imho.

Ask a random from Japan/Australia/USA/Africa to name 5 big club teams from Europe. I think it's pretty long odds he mentions Rangers or Celtic

Real, Barca, Man U, Arsenal, Liverpool, Milan, Inter, Bayern etc etc all wayyyyyyyy before Celtic and Rangers.

Fantastic clubs, but not "big" in the same way those I mentioned.

I don't think anyone is arguing that fact, top 20 yes but top 10 is pushing it.If we played in a League with more exposure then we would be pushing on a top 5 Club in Europe.

You are sadly in dreamworld about top 5 clubs in Europe then.

Real, Barca, Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal, Juventus, Inter Milan, Bayern & more regardless of what league you are in.

All you keep doing is giving me links to how many fans you have.

I don't know why I'm bothering but here goes

The atmosphere generated by the fans in Celtic’s stadium for our visit was the most impressive I’ve ever witnessed. The grounds of Liverpool and Manchester United are good and the hostile feeling of playing against Real Madrid in the Bernabeu is also excellent, but the atmosphere against Celtic was the best.
Xavi (Barcelona) (Sep 2004)

"Every professional footballer should seek to play at least one game at Celtic Park. I have never felt anything like it"
Paolo Maldini (AC Milan & Italy legend)

"Celtic fans are some of the greatest supporters I know," he said.
AC Milan midfielder Clarence Seedorf (Oct 2007)

"The Celtic fans are incredible. It is always great to play there."
Cristiano Ronaldo, Man U (2008)

"When I was at Porto my team also played in the UEFA Cup final against a Scottish side - but it was Celtic. I've never seen such emotional people. It was unbelievable!"
Jose Mourinho (ex-Porto Manager) looking back on thae UEFA cup final 2003 (May 2008)

"It is absolutely spectacular to see the fans like that "
Alberto Gilardino (Italian footballer)

"The Celtic fans are very special and the club and players can be very proud of them. They are the best I have ever heard"
Andres Iniesta (Barcelona Player, Oct 2012) before Celtic 2-1 Barcelona

"I have played many games for Spain/Barca but I've never heard fans like Celtic, they were amazing, not quiet for a single second!"
Andres Iniesta (Barcelona Player, Oct 2012) after Celtic 2-1 Barcelona


Aaron it's fine to have different opinions but you seem to revel in going against the grain on pretty much everything. When you are presented with evidence that contradicts your assertions you don't seem to able to take it on board at all. When you do this repeatedly people just don't respect that opinion.

[Snowball]

I actually wish we didn't have as many fans as we do as unless you goto nearly every Euro away it's very difficult to get a Ticket for the Away end at these games.

Off the top of my Head I have been to Stuttgart, Lyon, Milan x 2, Vienna, Liverpool, Man U x 2, Blackburn, Barcalona x 2  and had a Ticket from the Club for none of them.
By hook or by crook I have got into the Stadium (bar Man U once)but half of those were either a Neutral or Home end.
