So let's have a go at addressing this.
Over the past few weeks there has been a lot of talk about Celtic - re they are just going through a wee bad patch and that they still have a stronger squad and there is still a large gap between them and us.

So I'm going to go rate their club vs ours using club ambition boards and managers current form squads. etc. I will do this over several posts

This is only imo. I will try to be as fare to both sides.

The Board:
Celtic board have amassed a fortune from their system of buying young talent and selling on for vast profits and appear to run the financial side of things very well.
Negatives. Failure to match successive managers ambition with biscuit tin mentality. Allowing the team to become weaker with lack of activity in transfer market.
Rate 7/10

Rangers board. They have backed all managers that have been employed financially in the transfer market. They have sorted the kit deal mess and have appeared to have gotten the club back onto a sound financial base.
Negitives have cost the club millions by not getting the correct management team in place with the appointment of Warbarton and Pedro
Rate 8/10.

The Managers:

Brendan Rodgers:
Positives - He is a great man manager who has a vast experience at the highest level and has led his team to 2 double trebles. He deals with the media very well.

Negatives - If you look at his signings the vast majority have been poor. 75% of his team was not purchased by him. He appears to be blinkered in his style of play and will not change it even when that system is struggling to break down teams playing defensive counter systems. Failure to replace the 3 first rate players he has lost. European results.
Rate 8/10

Stevie Gerrard:
Positives - SG is a big draw when it comes to recruitment of players coaches ECT. One of the most difficult parts of managing a teams in Scotland is bringing talent to our league within the budgets that we operate. SG IMO has the upper hand over Rodgers with regards to this. His success so far in the transfer market. His ability to deal with the media.

Negatives - SG is still a inexperienced manager and as yet has not been tested with regards to if we go on a poor run. Has made a few mistakes so far - re tactics ie Celtic game and decision to bring on Wallace in the sheep game.
Rate 8/10.

You make some fair points but Wallace came on against Motherwell.
