Ex-Celtic boss Strachan makes ‘bleeding obvious’ comment about Rangers

Writer Sam Groves agrees with former Celtic manager Gordon Strachan's remarks that neither Rangers nor Celtic could successfully cope in the Premier League or English Championship. Groves argues that the former manager's statements are self-evident, noting that both Scottish Premiership clubs would realistically struggle in the bottom half of England's second tier due to significant disparities in overall quality, budgets, and wage structures.

Groves also criticizes the standard of secondary European tournaments, claiming the Europa League falls below Championship quality and that Scottish clubs have declined internationally. He highlights that despite Rangers spending substantial sums on players such as Minsu Kim and Kevin Kelsy, English Championship clubs continue to attract stronger talent with the direct incentive of promotion to the Premier League.
