JIM GOODWIN has laughed off talk suggesting the financial gulf between Celtic and Rangers and the rest of the Champions League.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst admitted that his side cannot compete with the top teams in the Champions League following yesterday's 4-0 hammering by Ajax.
Rangers brought seven players in during the transfer window and Goodwin has now told Glasgow's big two "welcome to our world" as he made reference to the financial gap in the Scottish Premiership.
The Aberdeen boss told Sky Sports News: "I always find it funny when managers from either side of the Old Firm come out and talk about financial gulfs.
"I mean, welcome to the world of the other 10 Scottish Premiership clubs. It is what it is at the end of the day.
"I think here at Aberdeen I've got good resources available to me, but they are obviously not at the same level Rangers and Celtic have got available to them. But, we make do with what we have got available to us.
"We have a fantastic training facility. We've got great plans for the stadium in the coming years, and there is an air of positivity about the city because of the football club.
"We sit third at the moment, which is where we want to be as a minimum. But if we win on Saturday we go level on points with Rangers, and you just never know what can happen."
