So, that went pretty much as expected. Celtic needed a massive performance to get some change out of Arsenal tonight, and Tony Mowbray's optimism was once again unable to get the better of the London club. Gary Caldwell's had a really bad seven days, hasn't he?
Let's hope the representatives of Celtic show some class, though, and pass up the opportunity to bleat about their lack of wealth. Of course they've got less money than Arsenal!
Arsenal are not only amongst the elite in the wealthiest league in the world, they are also a North London money-making machine. Rebranded "Celtic Park" might be a decent stadium, but its East Glasgow location means a much less wealthy local support base.
Rather than see themselves as a poor relation, Celtic and Rangers could see their proximity to the globally-marketed Premier League as an opportunity - and work out how Scottish football could exploit this more fully.
Or maybe this would take more maturity and professionalism than currently exists in Scottish football right now?
