Why are you lot making out that 0-0 away from home in Europe is a bad result? It's not a great result, granted, but it's not bad.

As I said Rangers have 107 trophies > how many have celtic got, in all competitions (regardless of formats) Celtic have won the trophy that matters most. Rangers havent even reached the final, let alone won it. And on the solitary occasion they did reach the semi final, they set a record for the biggest ever aggregate defeat! Congrats on winning the qualifying tournament for the European Cup more than us though, I guess its a bit like Scotlanbd qualifying for the WC but never making it past the first stages. |
