Yep it is a good record, in fact is a very good record for a nation as small
as ours but hardly glorious, but surely you must also agree that the amount
of trophies (in all competitions) won is equally worthy of a mention.
Remember people tend not to remember the losers in the finals, semi finals
and quarter finals but only the winners, and can I also point out that
unless you win a competition you don't have anything to crow about. How many
competitions have celtic won overall ? Rangers have 107

7 times eh, how many games would they have played to reach the quarter
or even the semi'sfinal.bet teams play more now to get into it.

here Zebhoy, like most on here what have you seen in the 18 years you
claim to have supported them, 18 glorious years of pain.

1967 you didnt even know where Ibrox was your first love.

Did i ever tell you my second Team was Liverpool, Now thats glorious

and cups below?
