BCFCGav Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Rangers losing 2-0 to a group of part-timers who finished 4th in Luxembourg... Feels nice to be able to say with confidence we're a better team than Rangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I didn't even know that there is a Welsh Premier. They were a Welsh club- based in Wales until 2007. They moved s a part of 2 mergers, one being TNS- Total Network Solutions, the other being Owestry Town. I frankly don't give a toss about the Welsh League, but by simply not being totally self absorbed you learn a few things. "So an English team playing in the Welsh Premier" They have more right to be in it than any of the Welsh clubs in the English leagues, including one in our Premier.

bearded_red Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Since 2012 League of Ireland sides have won 12 out of 58 Europa League qualifying ties. In the same time Scottish sides have won 9 from 56 Europa League qualifying ties. Maybe a little simplistic, and no doubt the fact the LOI is a summer league will help with July/August qualifiers, but that would suggest that underneath Celtic the rest of the SPL is a very similar level to the League of Ireland.
