Readers of Celtic Quick News will know that our club has not been out of debt since Fergus gathered up our cash in 1994 and set about building the new stadium. 19 years later, with the mad arms race which consumed Scottish football over, we stand on the verge of coming out of debt.
The full consequences of this will not be known for years to come but the first material benefit is the £100 discount per season ticket Celtic announced today. We’re no longer in debt, we can team-build in a measured and sustainable manner, and with Champions League money in the bank, Celtic have cut prices.
I know season ticket holders who missed out on the Barcelona, Spartak and Benfica games as, on top of everything else, they could not afford Champions League tickets. If we get back to the group stage next season, supporters will be able to buy their season tickets and Champions League group tickets for less money than they paid for SPL tickets this season.
The return of the £50 under-13 ticket is also very welcome, along with a tiered level for older children. With so many competing distractions, it is important that we bring as many young people into our community as possible.
Peter Lawwell’s comments underline the importance of bums on seats to everything that happens at Celtic, “The backing of our fans has, as ever, been crucial. Domestically and in Europe they have once again been right with us and we felt it important that we rewarded their commitment by making this gesture”.
More welcome good news for the Champions.

#Rangers statement: no legal claim made by Craig Whyte re Sevco 5088 subsidiary, so press speculation on it “highly spurious”.

Looks like a jabba inspired attempt to smoke out ‘real sevco men’!
Squire danaher @ 07:44,
Quite right, I didn’t give Bayern enough credit, Barca midfield who are known for their one touch football were taking half a dozen touches and getting caught in possesion then Munich’s lethal counter-attacks finishing them off.
All in all a great performance by the Germans and a great game.
There’s no real Sevco men mate and if there was they would’ve saved their beloved club last year before they died :)

How was breakfast…..Wheatabix or Oxycodone?

Rangers announces that the Board has
appointed Craig Mather, aged 42, to the
role of Chief Operating Officer for the
Group. In addition, Craig will act as
interim Chief Executive Officer and will be
a member of the Board as the interim
Chief Executive Officer. In the meanwhile
the search for a permanent replacement
for Charles Green will continue and a
further announcement will be made as
appropriate.
Morning all. Overcast and calm here at the moment. Any news to brighten the day?
Parkheadcumsalford- yes. The future of our favourite diddy team appears to be in the gentle caress of Doug and Dinsdale Piranha.
Any day now expect an announcement from Jabba that Durranty has had his head nailed to the floor.
But to be fair, there was nothing else he could do.
Good morning from a bright Nordrhein Westfalen, forecasting a high of 20*C today.

Or….
The Sevco announce the appointment of Craig Mather as the interim Chief Clown at the Broxi Circus. Mr Mather will take on day to day responsibility for pies, planks of wood with minds of their own, disintegrating cars and buckets of precariuosly placed water.
‘Muppet’ Mather will continue to be assisted by Jabba, Fat Swally and The Grouchy Cardigan.
It’s all about dig-ni-teee!!!
Fingers on buzzers, 30 minutes till the ticket office opens for SB business..
Hopefully business will be brisk with renewals and new uptakes. Looking forward to a busier paradise next season.
Hail Hail The Celts Are Here.
Just read back and found out that SFTB is on extended leave until next season,
Have never met the guy but folks on here vouch for him as a good lad and that will do for me,
He took it upon himself to try and regulate the blog, thats a tough shift for anyone and it was only a matter of time before it became too much for him to cope with,
He accused me of being a hun once and I had a helluva job trying to convince him he had it wrong,
Good chance he will pull me up for this post when he comes back in August, enjoy your break.
From videoCelts –
The timing couldn’t be bettered, the stage couldn’t be larger- the result was incredible.
Celtic’s 2-1 win over Barcelona couldn’t have been better scripted showcasing the club worldwide inflicting the first defeat of the season on the Catalans.
Worldwide there was interest on how a historical club from a footballing backwater could put one over on the most celebrated club in the business.
As a fan Peter Lawwell loved it, as a businessman it provided the club with the perfect opportunity to showcase the magic of Celtic to a whole new audience.
Away from the humdrum surroundings of the SPL Celtic found themselves on the big stage- and struck gold wih a night of magic rounded off by the wining goal scored by local teenager Tony Watt.
“A big frustration for me is we don’t have a regular platform to tell the Celtic story around the world,”Lawwell explained in The Sun. “It’s a magnificent story: rich, unique and magical. This year we got the chance to tell it — and we didn’t miss the opportunity.
“The boys got the results in Europe and people were intrigued about Celtic. How could this club, with this budget, from this nation, do what they did?
“From our point of view, it’s been a magnificent season. The Champions League campaign was magical.
“For a club from Scotland with the challenges we have, to perform the way we did and create the excitement we did throughout the world — the interest was phenomenal. Our club got fantastic exposure and profile off the back of it.”
Lawwell added: “There was huge interest in Europe and it was brilliant to win the league as we start off two in a row. That gives us a platform to go on and we are greedy.
“We want to win the SPL as many times as we can to get into the Champions League and have those experiences again. There’s real energy and ambition.
“This season has given us a platform to do these sorts of things and take the club forward, but it’s a challenge and we all have to do our jobs.
“We all have to make sure we keep pushing and pushing to take the club forward. It’s been an extraordinary year. It was an extraordinary summer last year and nobody could have predicted what we’d deal with, on and off the park.”

Cavani .
Today’s Italian version.
He has not signed for PSG…
Cavani wants to play for Real Madrid .
Real Madrid have offered Napoli cash plus Benzema for Cavani but whilst Napoli are willing to take Benzema they want the cash part of the deal to be increased..
We’ll see .
I hear there are no Celtic players among the nominations for the PFA Scotland Player of the Year.
That’s a big surprise.

hen1rik- Ah, the weasel Wishart now speaks, he didn’t want to rock the boat and lose his cosy Saturday afternoon gig with ClydeSSB Loyal whilst Green was in situ.
More interested in himself than his members.

In other news it seems Celtic are interested in George Boyd currently at Hull City…
Dave King? Can’t they find any new crooks to buy their new club? Are then now reduced to recycling the old ones??

Scottish football fans handed community service after violent clash in retail park http://t.co/GqP9G4L6dr Hmm, why no banning orders then?
MORNING,ALL
Since SFTB is likely to be a man of his word,and thus not be back till August,I think the least we can do is carry on his good work for him.
Stick it to them every time they overstep the mark,folks.

Sounds like you are coping well,mate. I would be simply feeling sorry for myself.

It’s good to see players from other teams gaining recognition – but I can’t believe Kris Commons didn’t even make the shortlist.

Genuinely gutted to be missing your CQN gathering this weekend….I’ll just have to console myself with an ice cold Sagres while sitting by the pool. :-)
Have a great time!
