Scottish Football

didn't see that coming last night - Brendan Rodgers resigned as Celtic Boss, and the the statement put out by the owner certainly does seem to lay the blame firmly and squarely at Brendan's feet.

I would be more inclined to stick with the first four names in your list and just have a big four, but when you think about it, Aberdeen are also waiting to win another title after a long gap.

It really is hard to call Dundee United a big 5 team they have had a few relegations under there belt recently , even Hearts themselves had one.

To me you can only be considered a big 5 team if you don't get relegated , can you imagine that happening to a big 6 team in the English Premier League , never will.

This was what the scene looked like to me c.1986 and I'm not bothered to update it.

Wow, did Chris Sutton put the 'fluence on him too?

you haven't forgotten that both Manchester United, Manchester City and Spurs have been relegated in the pre-Premier League era.

I doubt it, but a lot depends if Brendan feels if he has to respond to the statement.
