Work is underway at Ibrox to dilute their ridiculous claims with the current season carrying so much threat to the laughable superiority claims of the Gullible & Deluded.
Even before the 2012 death of Rangers the claim of being the most successful club in the world was a screaming sign of insecurity- not many Real Madrid fans would have traded 10 European Cup wins for 11 Scottish League Cups.
The ‘world’s best’ claim helped sustain bears as they entered the banter years of watching Ally McCoist trying to spin defeats to Queen of the South, Inverness Caley Thistle, Forfar, Alloa and Raith Rovers as steps along the way to progress.
By the time the new club reached the Premiership McCoist had walked away with Mark Warburton fronting up on how a four year old club could be #goingfor55.
The 5 stars have turned in to ‘the first side to reach 50 titles’ ?
Folk got those stars tattooed all over them.
Celtic reached 50 in 2018-19 season.
No fuss.
No stars.
Just bidness. https://t.co/J5qliZzAIs pic.twitter.com/TNzstv7oR4— Lint (@Zeshankenzo) September 8, 2024
Since 2016 Celtic have been on the most prolific run of success in Scottish football, winning 19 of the 24 available trophies with the Ibrox club edging out St Johnstone for the five remaining.
To be fair to the Tribute Act they are close to completing a world record in terms of managers with Phil Clement expected to become their fourth consecutive boss failing to survive through autumn.
Last season was a troubling one for the bears as their artificial trophy counts, combining both clubs, came under serious threat.
Without ever going into liquidation Celtic won their 54th title and 118th trophy, according to the bookies those numbers are likely to be nudged upwards by May, a League Cup win in November would make Celtic the first Scottish team to win 119 major titles.
Stripped off those claims there is very little for the disillusioned bear to fall back on despite the soothing words of Graeme Souness.
1st professional woman’s team in Scotland?

For being the peepul, they have a ripping sense of insecurity.

Not to worry they have just won the first 10 minutes of a games possession stats Cup,to go alongside the Gerrsrd 80 minutes games that he won.
So all is good in sevco land.
“First”
They cling to that word like sh it on an army blanket.
Must be due Tina getting quietly dumped too.
If you buy into the “same club” nonsense, this truly is a defining season, decades of perceived superiority gone, the unraveling at the thought of it is already apparent.
Yet the sfa uefa worked there illusion to make it look 2012 was a myth ir a bad dream or a wet one depends what side your on in Glasgow but you would think that taken the real Madrid records eufa or even real Madrid would question these ludicrous facts
Is there not a club in Egypt that put the Lies from Liebrox about the worlds most successful club to bed for once and for all…
And have their beloved Linfield from The Island of Ireland not surpassed this very weird ‘55’ fascination…
C’’mon Celtic – End The Pathological Survival Lies by winning The League Cup !
If the liquidation of the old club is ignored for a minute, Celtic are 16 years younger than them.
Gave them 16 year head start!!
Suppose sevco might try and double down on its – cough – history?
1872 will always be older than 1888,
[whilst conveniently ignoring events around 2012, naturally].
But then again, ‘Rangers’ can’t even claim to be oldest Scottish club,
as Queens Park beat them to it: 1867!
Shouldn’t laugh,
too much. 🙂
