Both have a far bigger global fanbase. If they came to the premier league they would overtake Villa in 2 seasons at most and Villa wouldn't get near them again. They're suffering from the league they're in. 

 

If they came to the Premier League they would quickly find themselves in the Championship and would be lucky to stay there.

Think he should stay at Rangers until at least the end of the season. I know there isn't much loyalty in football but they did give him a chance in management and have backed him with money. He also has European football to help him develop.

If you're going on the basis of 'there's loads of Scots and Irish in other countries then they must have a huge global following' then that's a bit flawed.

There is a Celtic pub in every city in the States - 95% of the time it is the Liverpool pub. Almost never does anyone watch Celtic.

 

They are in the same boat as River Plate and Boca worldwide.

That's a good point actually. Irish diaspora an all that.

You're just showing your ignorance. Both have been to European finals since Villa won their European Cup. Both are huge globally, Villa aren't. 

No wins though. Who remembers the losers?

I’ll help you out. Rank the following football clubs; Aston Villa, Rangers, Celtics.

Not sure I can. Villa are Villa, and the other two are steeped in sectarian bollocks. I'd rather abstain from the question than waste my time arguing the toss over them.

Villa are only big because they play in a league which is watched mlby millions of people.

By that argument Norwich and brentford are huge clubs.

FFS - Villa have won the league many times - domestic Cups and the big daddy. They are one of the historical pillars of English football. It is one thing laughing at them now - something entirely different to being completely blinkered about it.

[Trojan1892]

Well considering these days as fucked up as it is that popularity is measured purely on social media followers etc….

 

Aston Villa have more followers on Twitter and Instagram than Rangers and Celtic have combined.

 

[johnsusername]

Disappointing. Don't like Villa, or their fans.

They last won the league40 years ago. 

I think the whole big club argument is quite subjective tbh but personally I'd say both rangers and Celtic are bigger clubs than villa.

[Pete]

Fucking hate Villa. 

[tokyojoe]

Celtic and Rangers fans would both outnumber us in a European Final. Can't think of anyone else who would.

I used to chuckle at Villa buying loads of old shite off us.

Then we gave them 60 million quid for Downing and Benteke.
