Celtic fans’ meltdown over UEFA’s release of their 10-year coefficient stats which show Rangers are the same club – despite claims to the contrary – show how much of a fantasy world some of the Hoops’ support, and those within the Parkhead hierarchy who are only too happy to let them run with, are actually in.

The stats, posted on the European football governing body’s website, have points added before and after the financial meltdown of 2012 also gives the Gers an additional point for their European Cup Winners’ Cup win in 1972.

Despite everyone from the football authorities to the Advertising Standards Agency and UK Supreme Court stating the club operated by the company formerly known is Sevco Scotland is the same one founded in 1872 by the “Gallant Pioneers” there is still some – including in the Celtic boardroom – who are happy to propagate the myth that the Light Blues “died.”

Celtic’s advertising of Rangers v Celtic clashes as the Glasgow Derby instead of the Old Firm is a wink and a nod to the same people who, when as shareholders raised what became known as Resolution 12 to push the Hoops board to demand a Scottish FA investigation into Rangers’ financial collapse, aren’t given the time of day by those making decision at Parkhead.

Perhaps, instead of focusing on proving something they can never prove, it might be worth looking closer to home and fixing the obvious problems within their own club.
