Losing Dembele to Lyon at the end of the TW is going to hurt Celtic
22-3 million softens the blow but no replacement for them .. Ouch
I would say the ever widening gulf in finances is the reason that Scottish football isn't keeping up with the top leagues. Most English Championships teams are richer that Scottish Premiership teams!
What's happening in the SPL ? The Glasgow teams are 5th and 6th in their league at the moment !
Jam tarts still top.

Nine consecutive domestic trophies takes some doing regardless of the league strength of the opposition...
Not really. In the 2017/18 season, Celtic's revenue was over £100m while Rangers were second highest with £32m and Celtic's wage bill stood at £59m to Rangers's £6.6m. The SPL is essentially one team with a ton of money and eleven poor as fuck teams.

It's a league that really doesn't utilise the strength of their neighbours south of the border.
If I was a manager I would be trying to loan all types of premier League youths, even U18s.
I'm not so sure it does to be honest. Quite frankly it'd be an embarrassment if they managed to not win the league, and as for the cup while I appreciate your point about anything being possible in a one-off knockout game, but even still if you're such massively heavy favourites in every round you're going to win the cup more often than not. You might have the odd wobble every couple of years but statistically you're going to come out on top more often than not.
Fair play to them, they can only beat the teams they're put up against obviously, but them winning the domestic competitions is just achieving what they should do for me. A par finish.
It's a no win for Celtic. They clean up domestically and it's par, they don't and it's a failure.
