From Despair To Where? The provisio in Scotland is always do clubs outside the Old Firm have the squad depth to maintain a challenge? Aberdeen have an excellent manager and a decent, well organised squad but I think Celtic will eventually pull away because the have the quality and the depth.
I can see Aberdeen splitting Celtic and Rangers because Rangers look so ponderous and just don't have the money to make significant changes.
They're a bit of a shambles on and off the field at the moment. Their squad is significantly worse than 2 years ago, they're lost more money last year than most of the SPL have as an annual budget and the SFA have just pulled their pants down to the tune of £700k to borrow Hampden for 3 games.
You would think Rangers, having gone bust once, would want to run the club in such a way that the chances of it happening again are slim to none - but apparently not.
