We Asked AI What’d Happen to Celtic and Rangers if They Joined the Premier League Today…
If Celtic and Rangers were parachuted into the English Premier League today, the shockwaves would be instant. Financially, both clubs would see a huge boost. With increased TV revenue, sponsorship deals, and global exposure, they’d finally be able to compete off the pitch with England’s top sides.
On the field, however, the road would be tougher. AI simulations suggest both Glasgow giants would struggle in their first few seasons—likely finishing mid-table at best. Depth, consistency, and squad quality are major hurdles compared to the likes of Manchester City, Arsenal, or Liverpool. Rangers might initially edge Celtic due to recent European form, but both would face a steep learning curve.
Within five seasons, though, things change dramatically. With smart recruitment and Premier League money, both could crack the top six—challenging for Europe regularly. Celtic’s fan base and scouting network would shine, while Rangers’ gritty, physical style could thrive against English opposition.
The Old Firm derby would explode in global interest, rivalling El Clásico for worldwide viewership.
Verdict? A tough start—but give them time and Celtic and Rangers would become Premier League powerhouses.
