Celtic published a decent set of interim results this afternoon for the 6 months to 31 December 2015 but chairman, Ian Bankier’s address gets down to business with, “One the park, it has been a frustrating season”.
The sale of Virgil van Dijk contributed to a £12.6m income for player trading, balanced by £6.1m spent on the acquisition of Jozo Simunovic, Scott Allan, Saidy Janko Ryan Christie and Nadir Ciftci. This brought pre-tax profit to £11.7m, with cash in the bank at £7.7m (up from £5.3m a year earlier).
Turnover was up by an inch to £31.4m as the club traded at an operating profit for the period of £1.564m (before player trading). The second half of the year is devoid of European football income, not that the Europa League is that much of a game changer.
I know financial stability isn’t an end in itself, but it’s important nonetheless.

Get her to arrange to pick them up from my sister in law.
Mags … I generally enjoy and appreciate your contribution to the blog … you often have the guts to say what a lot of others (including, sometimes, myself ) are thinking ….
and if I have misunderstood your post @8:33, I apologiize… but, if it is as it appears, I think it does you and the blog a disservice. please ask P67 to remove it.

I thought he was African.
What were you thinking?
Doc on 12th February 2016 9:32 pm – he’s a racist prick ignore him
Thanks All for the kind thoughts
HH
Bhoys thanks for the offers, I have also received text offers
Aiden Bhoy, who is a fellow Cowie Bhoy, has sorted things
B, J is contacting M to arrange
Thanks Bhoys
Eddie I agree it’s absurd. But we have been doing that for years. Don’t you remember Paul telling us how great it would be for Celtic to, she, “save money”. But like I say if they are waiting on a change let’s all wait and no t bother paying momey over to them while they wait?
Seem fair?
A truly shocking set of interim results
We needed to invest in our defence and buy two new Center halfs and a striker to gain the 20m income from CL
But better to have cash in bank than that eh
Ant Celtic fan who thinks this is great needs their Heid looked at
Sydneytim but aren’t you excited at the net bank figure?
I mean it’s fantastic isn’t it?
Cowiebhoy
No probs mate.
Kevin Clancy ref tomorrow.
Mr Pastrays gone into hiding

Hail Hail!

Didn’t we buy 2 centre halfs in the summer and one in January?
Maggie, you thought he was African, poor.
You know he is not, he is German, a world renowned footballer.
His details have been all over the media today, as has his history, nationality as well as his opinion on the future of CL football.
Again I have said, twice now, if this was a crass play on his surname and your inference was the “N” word, then that isn’t acceptable.
But you know that, don’t you.
So, was this post a crass, poor attempt at humour?
Sounds like? Waggling his ear like a kid playing charades?
I know Ronny is still the manager at Celtic.i have stuck by him right from the beginning and will continue to do so. but if there has to be changes in management. Paul Hartley at Dundee, must come in to the reckoning.
Butsybhoy,
Sorry to hear your sad news,
45…Just a lad of 44 Summers,
May he RIP.
Wow
Margaret
I tend not to get involved if it’s not about Celtic, but do you honestly type some of your posts and then before you have to hit the post button, think to yourself….aye am happy with that ?
If so, there’s nothing much to add or respond
Philbhoy
Naw!
Gerryfaethebrig
Aye!
Owen…
I know your away to your kip but if you catch this post tomorrow it may put it in reflection.
I’ve lost count the amount of times I’ve been called a fenian b*****d mostly in a joking way, of which I’ll retort… Don’t call me a b*****d ya orange b*****d.
I know where you are coming from but a line has to be drawn somewhere and in my eyes…you will be lifted for sneezing in the wrong way soon, if the politically correct get their way.
Unless you march in the marching season!
Margaret
Your a scumbag .
Maggot
For the sake of the Blogs good reputation I really think you should never post again on here.
Its for the best.
And you know it.
You crossed a line tonight that is unforgiveable.
Now do the honourable thing and go.
If you have ant honour.
Butsybhoy: For you and your friend.

Thanks bhoys!
How does one spell sank tae monius ?
Ok Maggie, again, poor use of language, how do my previous post make me seem parsimonious?
Or is that another crass attempt to get the “N” word?
Kojo used to try that at times too.
Out of context and meaningless. I get you are trying to say I was meagre in my explanation, I wasn’t, it wasn’t a complicated question, not for a man of your intellect.
If you hadn’t tried to evade the first question you would have been able to, easily, see the point of my questioning after my first question, rather than dodging the question.
First rule of deflection, when asked a question that may embarrass, or you don’t want to give the difficult answer, deflect and diffuse, ask a question back feign misunderstanding blah, blah, blah.
Not only do you make a crass wordplay you don’t have the courage to stand by it, or more appropriately apologise for it, and ask Paul to delete it.
You did not think KHR was African at any time did you?
ant = any
Maggot
You wouldn’t know and no need to thank me, jus f*ck off, for good.
Had signed off, just popped back to express my condolences to Butsybhoy.
Mags have sense say sorry & get it removed., I like humour close to the bone but that was very poor judgement. I don’t for a moment think you are a racist but you like flying close to the wind, sometimes it goes wrong.
Gerryfae
Mags has been making very witty puns on this blog for years now.
If some consider this latest one to have been a bit off colour (no pun intended ) then fair enough.
Frankly,I find the some of the reaction every bit as unacceptable as some find his pun.
If that`s what it was. :-)
What a life of misery you all portray. Guess what…… I am largely happy with the way the things are managed at Celtic.
Ok a few hiccups on the way but hey ho we will win the league no problem.
End of rant,
MacJay
You, being Australian, will know all about kiddy on racism, won’t you?
You’re jus a great guy so you are.

Maggie: Completely out of order. You disgrace this bhlog
sadly tonight have read 2 of the most racist comments I have ever seen on CQN, Kojo used to be castigated for much less, Mc Gill hang your head in shame absolutely disgusting.
