19 years after last having money in the bank, all we needed was ‘Armageddon’ to allow Celtic to return to the black.
Despite a drop in income from domestic football turnover increased an incredible 47.7% to £75.82m thanks to participation in the Champions League, leaving a balance of £3.76m in the bank (after season ticket money arrived in) on 30 June 2013.
The profit for last season of £9.74m more than made up for the loss of £7.37m made when competing with others who were subsequently found to be unwilling (not just unable) to pay their bills.
This summer’s transfers were split between the financial year just reported and the current period, with a £9.66m investment in football personnel and £5.19m recouped from player disposal (clearly the Wanyama sale was post-year-end.
These figures are retrospective and would have read hollow if the club didn’t reach the Champions League again this season. With that status achieved we are now in a remarkably strong position to continue to scout, recruit, develop talent and improve the playing squad.
More detailed analysis tomorrow.

Celtic Nation top of their division again.
Off topic in case if there is any Stargazers (celestial type not cinematic) out there in CQNland I’m thinking of buying a telescope maybe with GoTo technology, any advice. Thinking of spending the nights on the back of the old bhoat looking at the comets in November. (no Uranus jokes please)

Don’t know what type or budget you have for the scope, but I bought one for the boy a few years ago and it’s never been used. Still in the garage and yours if you wish.
CRC, Game Week 7&8.
So get your predictions in now!

Trophy hoy.
Not disagreeing with you but there are bigger problems in this country. Like why bigots openly walk the streets denouncing a minority, other religions and using violence and intimidation to maintain their vile behaviour.
Perhaps, passionate, rightful guys like you could focus on the greater evil ?
I do which is what makes it all the more depressing when I am compared to a citizen of a sad little country.

Tony Watt seems to be at risk of living up to his name: T.WATT.
I’m repeating myself here, but I think this guy provides the reason.

Celtic Nation top of their division again
—————————————————————-
Another Celtic in north England are West Allotment Celtic – play in green and white hoops and been going since the 1928 according to their website
Sittin watchin the barca game at parkhead we won last year for about the 50th time.. That display set up by the green brigade at the start of the game was unbelievable! Il never get tired watchin it!
Would be great to do something similar next week!
leftclicktic oscar in our thoughts

I hear that’s a common occurrence, I’ve seen one on the web that I fancy for £210 which is computerise so you just type in what you want to look at so it does it pointing for you. Some people are put off as they don’t know where to point it.
Thanks for the offer
Ernie this has nothing to do with independence, are you honestly telling me that sectarianism only piped up when the date for the referendum was announced. Once again I will tell you I am a socialist, i am not and have never been a member of the SNP, i really don’t know how I can prove this to you, other than to give you my word. Your problem is equating how you call yourself a socialist and still back milliband.
CRC, look in the Dropbox folder, there is file called score Champions League Qualifiers.
It’s on the second page, 1st will play 33rd, 2nd versus 34th and so on, by way of seeding.
Those qualifying from the Pre-Qualifier come in at the lower end.
Anyone with access to the Dropbox folder can go in and have a look at it.
I am now thinking about the group stages.
Will have it sorted later this or early next week.

Some for buyers – some for rental – I think?
My hope when the the games are over, that the area doesn’t regress – but it couldn’t get worse than it was.
The UVF/UDA have been flushed out, largely because the area was obliterated, and new house buyers allowed in.

Good for you mate, are you in the video ?
I’ll have a completed list of the Qualifying Round by midweek.
Big day tomorrow, won’t be allowed near it.

Yeah but it’s the budget and interest this side of the border about Nation that is curious

Just dont humiliate me completely and offer me a place in the Ramsdens cup please,
I could not cope with the shame :)))
Thank you again for your efforts and Doc for keeping you right AS USUAL
The Narrowbhoat TIm,
You need to speak to the GoTo go to guy.
Hope this helps :)

More folk like you would make this country better. Lovely offer to a fellow Tim. Unlike some who want to rip us off.
I believe that if you were building a hotel near Celtic park abc were solely relying on football traffic to make it work it would fail.
The model for me would have a be a premier inn type hotel ,with conference facilities and rail link to the city centre.
Rooms would have to be priced similar to a P.I.
This would work IMHO .
There is a premier inn at the end of London Road ,near to the Arnold Clark garage.
It seems to survive with city centre overspill.

Re The post on the CQN Magazine page yesterday.
I watched that video which someone posted on here and shared it on the page with the comment Scotland. Sad little country.
I see that this post has upset two or three people and that the matter has been mentioned on here this evening.
Well I looked at that video and wrote exactly what I thought. I don’t see any reason to apologise for expressing my opinion but hey if that’s the vision then as John Lennon said “don’t you know you can count me out.”
I demand to know if F.C. Pashing (Praecepta), has paid all his due debts and obligations, in order to be allowed entry into the group stages!!!
Good luck to you, I shall watch your progress through the tourney!!

No probs, it’s rankled that the thing has never been used. I ain’t looked at in about 2 years but I’m a hoarder and hate throwing new (then) out.
Good luck with your search.
Leftclick, I thought about a Pawnbrokers Cup, but the CL and Europa are enough work,
Can’t be bothered with lower tier football:-)
I actually done well with my predictions,just not up to CSB standard who scored 57.
again well done CSB
Am away tae bed in a huff csc :)))
Jonny the Tim, all participant have a valid license and are paid up as far as their social taxes are concerned.
Open and transparent here, the SFA could look in and learn!

Yep football history is littered with might have beens and what ifs, we can only hope that Watt realises this before it’s too late.
Ps pfayr, McNally couldn’t, and would admit it, have laced wee Cogan’s boots :-)
DBBIA,
from the doghouse to the flophouse only to find a dead cat bounce – jeez, if it wasn’t for bad luck, there wouldn’t be no luck at all.
I hope Tonys agent isnt the one Black has?? How embarrassing was that for fat sally??

I suppose reality actually is a lack of imagination.
Players wages are by far where most of the income goes.
That is because supporters demand it.
The job of the Board is to balance supporters demands against reality.
Most clubs fail.
Celtic are pathfinders.
Jonny the Tim
Paid in cash and witnessed by Mrs. CRC!
More duck eggs (0’s) than correct scores but stumbled through.
Cheers!
Leftclick, I think the luck of the draw did for you, you scored very well in the last couple of weeks, CSB just piped it, 2 points in it!
