Dominant Celtic, and how EBTs mask our supremacy

The old Rangers were crowned Scottish champions 20 times since 1964; a period of 53 years. This number includes their 9-in-a-row, as well as the 5 EBT-funded titles between 2000 and 2011. According the Alex McLeish, EBTs gave Rangers a sporting advantage, leading to 5 wafer-thin wins – without them, their title wins over 53 years would be just 15.

In the same period, Celtic have won 28 league championships, 9 of the last 12, and are on a run of 6-in-a-row.

It should be 33 championships for Celtic over this period, versus Rangers’ 15.
