The link in the article has different rankings to what’s quoted in the article.
Quality Journalism again.....

www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/rod-stewart-phones-hotline-celtic-18323350Calling from his holiday home in England shortly before boarding a private jet for a gig in Aberdeen, Rod said: “I read the Record every day. If I can’t get the paper then I catch up on line and this morning I saw a story about some chart which ranks the most successful football teams in the world. “The guy who wrote it said that Rangers were far ahead of Celtic. But when I looked up the chart this morning it was the other way around. “It starts off with the likes of Manchester City and Barcelona and then all the way down it’s got Celtic and Rangers. But, in actual fact, Celtic are above Rangers. "Now, how they work out this chart I don’t know. It’s all bulls***. “But I just thought there was a little error there that I would like to correct on behalf of Celtic!”

OK, some quick housekeeping at this point.
Turns out both Rod and the Record on-line team were actually correct. At the time of publication - on Monday afternoon - Rangers did top their old rivals in the latest Global Club Soccer Rankings, released ahead of the new domestic campaign.
But those positions flipped overnight - leaving Rod as mystified as us as the countdown to the new season.
What a palaver. This old heart of mine can hardly cope with the excitement.
Rod went on: “I must say, I’m looking forward to the challenge next year. Rangers seem to have about 200 players and I don’t know how they’re going to boil them down to 11.
“But I’m certainly looking forward to the challenge next year from Rangers. It’s good for the Rangers supporters. It’s wonderful to have this level of excitement and competition again.
“Now I need to leave for a concert in Aberdeen in a couple of hours where I’m told it’s p*****g down with rain!”

It's always pissing down with rain in Aberdeen. It's a miserable place all in all... In fact, the whole east coast south of Inverness is grim.

It is, but it's beautiful. The east coast is a bleak desolate wasteland. I remember rolling in to Arbroath, and thinking 'Christ, this is where people come to die then'. |
