Celtic this afternoon released their interim accounts for the six-month period to 31 December 2016, the figures are as rewarding as expected.
Income was up an incredible 94% on the corresponding period in 2015 to £61.2m (2015: £31.4m). Profit from operations reached £21.4m (2015: £1.6m), although profit on player transfers fell to £2.0, (2015: £12.6m).
Investment in player registrations for the period was £9.5m, not that much higher than 2015’s £6.1m.
To put some perspective on these figures, income for the whole of last season was £52.0m, £9m less than we earned in the first six months of this season. Results against Lincoln Red Imps, Astana and Hapoel Be’er Shiva in the summer have had a huge impact on the club.
The lack of Champions League football during the second half of the campaign will see income drop off, but these figures provide the first solid evidence that income will to £80m this season for the first time, comfortably £50m more than any other Scottish club will earn.
The figures also reflect a significant uplift in sponsorship deals, which kicked-in this season – well done to all concerned. The post-Brexit vote battering of the pound didn’t do any harm either for a club earning so many euros…….

How insulting to Australians .
Boycotting away games is revolutionary and ultimately damaging to the game. I’m not for it at all. Our results would suffer too.
Mags
You were advocating £1000 for a ticket for ibrox earlier, you’ve fair changed your tune.
:)
And just to prove that I can read and get sense from opposition sources- this is a decent but very lengthy explanation of the Brexit vote from one of the main Leave campaigners.
He stretches a few points beyond the significance they can bear but it is an intelligent and considered piece (apart from the internal score-settling and the occasional piece of wrong-headedness) and needs to be read by those of us attempting to fight the lurch to the right that just happened with the Ayn Rand trendies.
Lisbon 17 SCLAFFBAW Outing. Update.
Still trying to get final numbers sorted for a sclaffbaw outing during the 50th celebrations in Lisbon. So far we have ten players (maybe eleven):
– ACGR
– Young acgr
– Kickinthenakas
– Delaneys Dunkey
– Cosycornerbhoy
– Skyisalandfill
– Grafittionthewall
– Torontony
– Bro of Tornontoy
– Best mate of Torontoy
– Torontony’s ditherer
One more sclaffer required.
If you fancy it, the idea is to get three (maybe four) tee times the morning of the 26th May at a course, yet to be determined close to the city of Lisbon and have a wee spirit of 67 sclaffbaw tourney. I’ve said I’ll put up a cask strength dram for the winner and I’m sure we can come up with some other prizes.
Email me at acgr@outlook.com if you want to join us. It will be a hoot and may end up as a full blown hootenanny………………….:_)
Apologies if I’ve already missed anyone off the current list. email me. We may need a bigger course.
We also have three caddy volunteers in WIT’s, BMCUWP and the beautifully foul mouthed Maggie McGill (my caddie for the day). More caddies are welcome and are even encouraged as caddying duties will be mainly keeping beer supplies flowing.

True but I don’t think the tolerance levels are there. Debate manifests itself as scratches and screams.
Goodnight Guys

Put me down for the golf, to play.

Its the double standard that grates.
Insult Australians to your heart`s content , but insulting anybody else would be racist .
Requiring the jack booted response of the CQN thought police.
CELTIC is FREE
FREE as a BIRD
INCREDIBLY FREE
How can you Legislate you see a Barn Owl when Olde. Elusive for ALL TIMES.

I Probably shouldn’t have included Pizzagate in my Post as I know Very Little of it.. and don’t want to..
As someone who manages Paranoia on a Daily Basis..【ツ】

It must be the UJ in our flag that grates.
Something that I’m rather proud of as it embodies the stars of the new land and the culture of the old Isles.
Some folks just see the StGC in the UJ and are blind to the St Patrick and St Andrew crosses in there too.

Paul67 I think your 2 posts today encapsulate the current Celtic PLC ethos perfectly. Its not all about shape its all about money.
MARGARET MCGILL on 7TH FEBRUARY 2017 12:58 AM
Does he read replies?
He must have superhuman tolerance levels to desist from reacting to some on here….
Just saying.
BIG PEAT OF ISLAY✝ on 7TH FEBRUARY 2017 12:54 AM
Fair point.
However , I think it`s more personal than political .
No rational counter argument therefore a fruitless attempt to insult through nationality or place of residence.
Says far more about the insulter than the insulted.
Thirty or forty percent of Aussies claim Irish heritage .
As do I.
As I said , how casually insulting to Aussies of all racial backgrounds.
It will be Time to Grow the Stadium.
My Son is a lot more powerful than me.

I would welcome philvis’s humour back anytime.
Big Peat of Islay✝ on 7th February 2017 1:01 am
He used to when we used to be friends :)
Nowadays in my opinion he doesnt read the blog.
Waits on his sycophants giving him anything significant if anything these days since its become essentially Celtic Quick View.
he will pay attention to any Res 12 developments that appear here as that is his remit.
However, its been quiet here lately on that front.
I know this because I have inside info on res 12.
I think he is working on his Lawwell jabba role.
As i said a few times previously CQN will be either
sycophant delegated
rescinded
or
Celtic Quick Viewed in our new alternative fact world.
of course I may be proven wrong by the end of the season but I bet you a £1000 dynamite Ibrox ticket or equivalent value that I am right.
Again.
MACJAY1 FOR NEIL LENNON on 7TH FEBRUARY 2017 1:05 AM
Aye, you’ve no doubt nailed it.
Screamers and scratchers.

thats why your a tory right?
You cant spot a fraud.
Big Pete
That was one heck of a tangent.
How you jumped from socialism to class in the context is beyond me.
Which community do you believe Celtic was setup to help? Just out of interest.
Winning Captains
Hat may be correct but it your own argument does not deflect from the simple point that there is only one weapon in the arsenal that would be effective. I also doubt that there would be the take up in allocation at any away ground of muted fans that you seen to think there would be. Even Ibrox took 3 rounds of Celtic going round the houses to get rid of the allocation.

After at least 10 years of bickering amongst ourselves about every non footballing issue under the sun , from living wage to warmonger John Reid , look where we stand.
Look where we are.
We are in clover.
Footballing and financial clover.
Surely , we can all cut the Board some slack now and just celebrate our current standing.
Surely.
Just managed to avoid posting the syrupy ” United we stand “.
F -) oFF all you Great amd Clever people.
