Well spotted! Indeed, that was nine seasons when Celtic dominated totally in
terms of trophies, but not in terms of playing, Rangers were good enough to
reach a couple of European finals during that era too.  I assume Dave Morning
was referring to the years immediately before the Souness revival, which is more

relevant than events of 20-30 years ago.

Celtic's nine in a row was *66-74*, not 66-75. Rangers won the league (treble
in fact) in 1975. Before Jock Stein arrived, Celtic had only one championship
in the previous 19 seasons and had had frequent flirtations with the lower end
of the table. That was a looong time waiting in the wings. 

If you want to search your history books for periods of domination,
try the 20s and 30s, Rangers may not have won 9 in a row, but 15 out of 20
was pretty impressive.

>YOU'RE NOT ENGLISH BY ANY CHANCE ?????????

Does my name sound English? Since you ask, the answer is no, of course I'm not
English,  I was born and bred in Thornliebank, Glasgow, a short bus ride from
Ibrox. I've been going to Ibrox regularly since around 1972. I came down here 
for the work. Just what does my nationality have to do with it anyway?
