Celtic’s turnover slipped 21.1% last season to £51.08m (2014: £64.74m), almost wholly explained by the drop from Champions League to Europa League competition. Operating expenses dropped by a smaller amount to £53.27m; higher than income, but by a very manageable amount.
The club’s cash position at 30 June 2015 was a positive £4.72m, although this figure will stray into negative territory during the season. Net exceptional costs were down to £740k, considerably less than the £4.089m paid out a year earlier, when the management team moved on.
Profit on the sale of intangible assets (football players) was £6.773m, down considerably from the £17.052m from the previous season, and a bit of a surprise given the expected impact of Fraser Forster’s sale to Southampton. It’s possible that Newcastle United received a dividend from the Forster sale. Total loss for the year, after interest, disposals and acquisitions, was £3.947m.
“Investment in football personnel” was up slightly to £9.42m, the amortisation charge for the year was £7.313m.
It’s clear that Celtic can continue to operate at current levels but the impact of Champions League revenue on all aspects of the club remains stark.
On the club’s wider place in society, chief executive, Peter Lawwell, noted:
“Charity forms a fundamental aspect of the club that we aspire to create. Charity lies at the very heart of Celtic; it is part of our DNA.
“I am delighted to say that the Club and its supporters does more now than we ever have done for charitable purposes, most notably Celtic FC Foundation, which continues to grow from strength to strength and to inspire all those involved with it.
“The continued commitment of our supporters, shareholders and partners is crucial; I thank you for that commitment, which we will do all that we can to repay.”

Pleased that Rogic gets a start.
He deserves it.
Jeez Mulgrew plays, guy has been a disaster for club and country this last month, hopefully he rams that down my throat by having a superb game.
Canamalar
More power to you & the rest of the resolutioners .
Hail Hail & thank you from me :)))))))
MadMitch
give the Griffin a call
Surprised at the team the new bhoy is not even on the bench neither is Allan but Ronny knows best.I just hope Mulgew Brown and GMS re-find there missing form big Tom must be happy getting a start.Come on you bhoys in green. H.H.
The.Huddle
He has been a disaster playing at LB
Should be ok in central defence
Now- I am really hoping he is not LB with Blackett in central defence :-)

Next time you venture over,I’ll try to arrange one. Even if I canny make it!
Geordie Munro – better than that, I’ve watched them all season mate.
GMS has been well off the pace, Johansen has been poor and now appears shunted out wide. Rogic has done ok but I wouldn’t have started him.
I’ve already said that Aberdeen will hem us in and force us to go long. We will struggle to keep the ball due to lack of physical presence so will either be under the cosh or try and take risks at the back to play out.
I don’t see it ending well.
I presume you have some thoughts on how the game will go?
For all Labour Supporters. I hope Jeremy Corbyn isn’t another Michael Foot.don’t like a politician who doesn’t have a tie on.to left wing.people have a good life.well some have.they won’t want to go back to the old ways of the old labour party.
Is Armstrong injured?
Ps
Let the people sing and Broonie to score :))))

Celtic playing with 10 men with Mulgrew on the park
Abuse of Mulgrew is very hunnish isn’t it? Great utility player- we’ll miss him when he is gone.

We should not be excepting ‘should be ok’ as the standard for a celtic player ,we are better than that, CM is not good enough to be in the starting 11period.
C’Mon Charlie
Give us a goal
Geezo Ronny!
Dont think anyone would have predicted that lineup!
So some cyber booing before we start and some getting their excuses in early, I will be supporting the 11 wearing the hoops

Leftclick,
He’s not my favourite player and I don’t think he’ll play once Jozo is up to speed but I’ll laugh ma nuts off if he is our game winner today :))

new article posted.
0-3 the Celtic stamping of authority today
Charlie has a point to prove at Pitoddrie.
Ron67
OK if I start expecting him to be ok and then later revise it upwards.
I was never a Charlie fan but he has served us well at CB when needed and has a great set piece delivery.
He was one of the players we used to moan about, having let him go, when he played for the Dons
C’mon the Hoops. Anyone who wears the Hoops.
