Could Old Firm cut it in England?
Celtic boss Martin O'neill and Rangers' Alex McLeish
Celtic beat Blackburn 2-0 at Ewood Park to secure a 3-0 aggregate triumph in their Battle of Britain tie.

Having swept aside their English opponents, could Celtic thrive in the FA Premiership?

HAVE YOUR SAY

Celtic produced a superb display to dispose of Blackburn and reach the third round of the Uefa Cup.

Henrik Larsson's chip gave them a crucial early lead, before a second half header from Chris Sutton put the tie beyond doubt and sent the travelling support into raptures.

The victory is sure to re-ignite the debate over the Old Firm's desire to join the English Premiership - and many will fell that Celtic's triumph proves that both the Glasgow giants could make an impact down south.

Could the Old Firm mix it with England's big boys?
