Celtic flip script on bragging Rangers poster slogan and £20m takeover injection won't send shockwaves around Parkhead

For every fiver Celtic spend, we will spend £10.

It’s one of the most famous quotes in Scottish football history.

But it turned out to be one of the most prophetic.

A bit like a war movie when some hapless side character is telling his platoon that he’s going to get married, start a family and work on a farm once the fighting is over.

Right at that moment you know the poor sod isn’t going to make it. Dead meat.

Likewise, Sir David Murray’s brag during the cash-splashing days at Ibrox became the poster slogan for the club’s financial meltdown.

Since then it has served more as a warning than a business plan.

And yet here we are.

Old Firm fans are wanting their team to tool up for another mega money arms race.

Only the roles have been flipped this time.

The Rangers takeover being rubber-stamped has got Gers fans giddy about the prospect of finally emerging out of the dark ages after a few too many false dawns.

OK, promises of share issues, £20million investments and “foundation of financial stability” might sound more sensible than sensational but there is a feeling there will be dosh spent on sorting out the playing squad and everything else.

And it’s only natural Celtic fans are now looking to the folk in charge at Parkhead and wondering how they will respond.

The thing is, Celtic do have a lot of lolly. They could slap down a tenner for every fiver Gers spend.

It remains to be seen if the £20m is the pot for summer transfers at Ibrox or is on top of the usual outlay.

Either way, it’s not a figure that should send shockwaves through the Parkhead board room.

Celtic spent £39m in the last two windows. Crucially, though, they still made a profit when it came to player trading.
