Celtic manager Gordon Strachan believes the club need to be playing regularly outside Scottish borders to eliminate sectarianism.

Both Celtic and Rangers have shown a strong interest in joining the English leagues, and Strachan believes it would be a beneficial move on many levels.

The 50-year-old suggests a European league is more likely to materialise, given the vehement objection of Barclays Premiership clubs to the Old Firm being allowed to join their ranks.

But Strachan said: "If we could get into a British league, I don't just think it would help us financially, it would also help this West of Scotland thing we have to live with.

"I often think how exciting it would be to have Manchester United, Arsenal or Chelsea coming to Parkhead.

"Sometimes you hear our people singing the IRA stuff, but I think all that would go if we were in a bigger league.

"It would enlarge the scene, provide more breathing space and people would get on with their lives.

"People from the outside looking in would no longer say to some Old Firm fans, 'Are you guys going to grow up ... are youse all mad?"'

Strachan suggests as many as 50 leading clubs could be involved if the long-mooted European league does become a reality.

He added: "It will happen and the sponsors would flock to it. I really think it's going to happen."

Thoughts?...I would like to see Celtic leave Scotland because at the moment its only them winning it...

I have never been a fan of him...tho it seems Celtic are to strong for Scotland would like to see them go to Europe and get destroyed...

The thing is though...Celtic and Rangers would just expect to walk straight into the Premiership.

They should start off in the conference, otherwise it would be unfair on all the other teams. You can bet your bum though that they will sack off the idea of coming to England if we told them they had to start in the conference :p

Anyway, I want Everton to go in the Dutch Eredivisie...just to see them still win nothing :D

I agree with you Martyn that should they join the league than they should do so from the bottom up.

Although a European Superleague would be great to watch and for TV revenues, it'd cost a fortune for away games, players won't simply be flying a couple of hundred miles to play teams, they'd be flying thousands every week.

Stupid idea really.

He's just gutted that there's nothing in that league.

      AMD is supported out of the box in linux because of their open source driver. Nvidia does not. All my systems are amd and all of them work nicely on linux arch without doing anything.

      Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.

      I can answer about the Linux bit. I only used AMD GPUs. I currently have a 9060XT (8GB) that fits my needs, I'm not a gamer, so I don't need that much GDDR. But lately, NVIDIA has grown a lot in the recent years. Oh, the horrors of NVIDIA drivers not working. But they have been getting better. I know a lot of members onm here that are running cachyOS and other distros, and are fine with a 4090/5090 variants. Really, though, I would stick with AMD variants.

      Everything they say you can already do yourself on the registry by changing some things.
