After all Chelsea weren't historically a big club but money has made them a challenger. Same goes for City. So with similar funding and bigger fanbases why wouldn't the Glasgow clubs compete?
BECAUSE in order to do that they have to beg to be let in our league and in our league it wouldn't necessarily mean they'd succeed because of all the other strong 'teams'. Man City and Chelsea as they are now would be above them PL money or not. FACT. Rangers getting into the PL wouldn't guarantee a sugar daddy either, especially being up there.
Some people seem to be under the illusion that them getting into the Prem would be the same as them staying in the league they are in, same level of competition etc, plus the added TV money. It wouldn't. I reckon it'd be a huge culture shock.
As said, no team but those two has won it since 1985. Great league that.
