Hi all. Who in the SPL is best placed to challenge Celtic for the league?

Dundee united probably have the best squad but relatively small stadium and tight finances.

Hibs are okay financially but wages are very tight, whereas Aberdeen are scunnered financially.

Motherwell are a possibility?

Hearts seem the best option. A lot ot debt but under finances they are estimated to make a £4m profit by the end of the season and have a decent squad but very thin.

Any thoughts?

Motherwell have probably the second best team in the league no debt either as well which is good! The only problem that the budget is very tight but you can just sell Randolf for about 2/2.5 million(normally to chelsea) and sign Cammy Bell from Kilmarnock for less than half a million!

I wouldn't put too much emphasis on the club to be honest. I think the margins are that fine that it's all about having a tight scouting network and using them to hoover up young-ish talent, as a decent player can really shine in that league.

Having said that on my Falkirk save in the six seasons played so far I've won the SPL once and Dundee United three times - Celtic twice and Rangers yet to finish top three. Aberdeen look the most likely to threaten as they create more revenue through youth players, stadium size etc.
