’Never going to happen’: Alan Shearer expresses Celtic disappointment that he will never see
Imagine Celtic in the English Premier League? It has been a question many have asked for decades now.
Considering Celtic’s global reach, you would think that the Premier League’s financial resources would cause the entire team—from the top to the bottom—to soar even higher on the international scene.
In an interview with The Rest is Football, Alan Shearer said that having the Scottish Premiership champions in England’s top division would be “amazing.”
To his own dismay, though, the all-time leading scorer in the Premier League acknowledged that it’s “never going to happen.”
Because of their financial situation, the Bhoys now lack the talent to compete at the highest levels of England’s elite league.
However, consider permitting a team such as Celtic to expend hundreds of millions of dollars each summer transfer window.
The squad would fight against the best of the best after those bottom-of-the-table Champions League finishes.
Alan Shearer said that he would love to see it happen, but he also said that it just won’t happen.
Celtic in the English Premier League
“Me too,” agreed Shearer about it being ‘amazing’ to have Celtic in the Premier League. “With the size of those two (Celtic and Rangers) giant football clubs. It would only enhance our league for the better.
“The atmosphere in those grounds is amazing. The support they have around the world is fantastic, so they are two giant clubs. Absolutely, it would be brilliant if they could be in the Premier League.
“But I don’t think we are ever going to see it – it’s never going to happen.”
Celtic’s dominance in Scotland
Throughout the last ten years, Celtic has dominated everything, and it doesn’t seem like it will end.
Brendan Rodgers, a Northern Irishman, has had a mixed start to his second stint as Celtic’s manager.
In spite of this, the Bhoys are still leading the league after defeating Rangers both at home and away and beginning to play some of their greatest football of the year.
With the January transfer window open and the season’s final stretch approaching, this has all happened at the perfect time.
