At least Shelbourne did the British Isles proud in Europe tonight. |
The Irish Isles, Fred! |  |

While Celtic certainly haven't impressed in the champions league (although they were ok last season bar one thrashing), Rangers haven't won a game at that level for a very long time and last time they qualified for the CL produced the worst group stage performance in the competition's history.
On the other hand Rangers reached the Europa league final a few years back and have had some good results in that competition in other years.
English fans may sneer, but there's no money in Scottish football compared to what premiership teams (even at the bottom of the table) get every season just for turning up.
The lack of competitive games in the SPL is obviously a factor but also it isn't easy to attract top quality players to that league. Celtic in recent seasons have signed some good young players but as soon as they start performing consistently a richer club from England or elsewhere comes and signs them. I'd like to see how premiership teams would go in Europe without 90% of the TV money and these other factors to contend with.
All of that said, Celtic have no excuse for not being able to score a goal against a team from Kazakhstan over two games. [Post edited 29 Aug 4:53]

I was at that final in Seville when they lost on pens against Eintracht Frankfurt. The SGE fans were amazing all day and especially during the game (definitely my German team now as well after spending last summer in Frankfurt), the Rangers fans less so. |  |
