The only reason I can think of why Prso and Boumsong would go to Rangers, would be to line their pockets, because Rangers are well known for paying stupid money for players. That is why their finances are such a joke, and why Celtic are managing their debts.

I would consider both Celtic and Rangers "big" clubs simply due to the crowds they draw and their reputations. Celtic would be Champions League contenders if they played in a stronger, more marketable league.
Rangers are in less debt than Barcelona, Real Madrid and practically every big team in Italy. Aren't Manchester United the only club in Europe who aren't in debt actually?

I love the comment about "lining their pockets" though. Just shows how little every who is saying it knows. Rangers, unlike the Real's of the world, are trying to manage that debt now and ain't paying out big wages any more.

Rangers and Celtic would walk into the top 10 biggest clubs in the world list. Anyone thinking different are kidding themselves.
