"They've won the league 15 out of 16 times, so they think they're immune from criticism." The panel on why the Celtic board believe they're untouchable.
The argument on the show: this Celtic board are happy just to finish first, and 15 titles in 16 years has convinced them they're beyond criticism. Over the summer they only replaced the players who left rather than strengthening, banked an £11m profit, and let Rangers spend £25-30m to build a deeper, stronger squad. It maybe needed Hearts to win the league last year, the panel say, for anything drastic to change at Celtic Park.
Transcript:
That Celtic board are just quite happy to finish first. They got away with it last year. They've won the league 15 out of 16 times, so they'll think they're immune from criticism. What do you want us to do? We've won the league 15 out of 16 times, so we know what we're doing, we're successful.
So maybe it needed Hearts to win the league last year for something drastic to happen at Celtic. But you look at the summer, Celtic have just tried to replace the guys that left. They haven't actually strengthened the squad. They were 11 million pound in profit. Rangers went out and spent 25 to 30 million pound, and they're getting the fruits of that now, because they've got a deep squad and a lot of quality in the squad. Whereas Celtic, you're thinking they're still weak in areas.
Luke Macau comes in, for example, out of nowhere. You've got Oxley Chamberlain there. Surely he goes in and plays beside Callum McGregor and you keep it quite solid in there. You play Macau, you hook him at half-time.
