They won the league.
They have since on paper, strengthened their starting 11 with a new left back that can’t possibly be worse than Taylor.
We haven’t strengthen our 11 and have since let a few players depart.
IMO there’s very little between both sides on a one off game, probably 50/50 IMO. But the noises from them are they’re still looking to strengthen the 11.
Very little noise from us other than Colak who won’t be a first 11 player.
That's very much the glass half empty summary from yourself, as it often is.
Alternatively, you could have a glass half full outlook to your claims.
The left back could easily be worse than Taylor.
We know absolutely nothing about him and he's got absolutely zero international pedigree.
Remember Laxalt or Bollingoli?
They have lost Rogic and Bitton, but you never bothered mentioning them, but seen fit to mention our departures.
You seem to have decided that Souttar won't strengthen us, yet the unknown left back will strengthen them.
Time will tell with Souttar, but the worst case scenario is that we've got 3 top central defenders (and I'm not even counting Bassey) competing for 2 places.
Before you mention Souttar and Helander's injuries, don't forget how much of a crock Furuhashi was last season.
He was probably out more than Roofe was, but it just gets glossed over.
Even more concerning for them would be the nature of his injuries too.
Muscular injuries, particularly hamstrings, often have a history of affecting players quite regularly throughout their careers.
You've also decided Colak won't be a first 11 player.
Well, it's a squad game and with his finishing ability, there will be plenty games, particularly when we have the majority of possession, that he could be a big player for us.
You seem to like to big up all their signings and some of them have done very well, particularly Hart, Carter Vickers and the Greek.
They've all definitely strengthened them.
However, not all of them have been so successful.
McCarthy and Guci contributed nothing and Hatate's form fell off a cliff towards the end of the season.
Maeda has decent work rate, but is an absolute headless chicken.
I'm not saying that's my opinion on everything.
It's more just not putting that wee celtic gloss on things the way you do, when you try to paint your doom and gloom over everything Rangers.
