Uefa Champions League financial distribution changes significantly this season from the previous model, in line with changes to the tournament itself. The old TV Pool no longer exists, replaced by a Value Distribution payment, which is majority based on the value of your TV market, with a factor determined by how well you have performed in the previous 10 years compared to other participants.
Celtic’s European performance over the last decade has not been great, but this year’s Champions League has so much fresh blood that we are now guaranteed to be in Pot 3. Aston Villa, Bologna, Girona, Stade Brestois and Stuttgart have replated more familiar names from the Big Five leagues. Our distribution will therefore be higher than it would if Chelsea, Roma and Lyon etc. qualified.
I know you would have been as upset as the TV panel at last night’s result from Hampden, but there are reasons to cheer up. Celtic being Scotland’s only Champions League participant, instead of sharing the Value Distribution pot, is likely to earn us an extra £4m.
Also, do not underestimate the value of our Coefficient Monkeys being in the Europa League, where they consistently earn Scotland a high number of points, compared to their only venture in the Champions League, where they were the group stage’s worst ever entrant. So every cloud….
The night was not so good for everyone in Scottish football. The Kyiv result cost Newco a play-off round bonus and a home gate, which together would earn £5m. That’s a lot of money for a club with dreams of one day returning home. The season is already taking on a familiar look.

Watching the despair of the BBC Scotland panel was a joy to behold, apart from Lamont the other 5 were all ex huns. No balance in the commentary or analysis whatsoever, wiz more like Ranger TV in your house!
Had to set the VPN to Scotland this morning to watch some of the BBC coverage over my morning coffee.
Such larks!
to hear cammy bell plead for high balls on top of tha goalkeeper to “see what he is all about”, was a highlight for me.

Not sure why I randomly thought of this right now but I always find it interesting in the currency markets that when the dollar falls any currency pegged to the dollar also falls. The key thing is the peg.
Anyway, here’s hoping for a few quality additions before the window closes. Hopefully none of the targets are with clubs undergoing changes in ownership!

Celtic will receive the UCL League stage downpayment of €17.87m on 20 September.
That day, they will also receive the “75% Value Pillar” payment. That is a confusing part & I’m GUESSING that’s about €11.5m.
At current exchange rates, that’s about £25.2m.

Some of us will remember the footage of Ajax v R2ngers pre-season and Butland’s comical attempt at diving low to his left as a trundler slipped under his arm and into the net.
Last night’s first goal was almost identical to Matt’s goal at Celtic Park in last season’s run-in as Butland again dived low to his left, and missed the ball.
It is clear that the Ibrox keeper has a big weakness with shots low to his left. Other opponents must surely notice and exploit this obvious anomaly.
agree,
Didn’t see their match but did listen back to the shortbread podcast coverage this morning. Derek Ferguson twice called the ref a cheat. The unprofessional conduct of some in the BBC is almost unbelievable.
Two things from last night – their home attendance for a match with at least £5 million on the line was pathetic. The bears are seemingly beginning to walk away.
Secondly, Clements is not a very good gaffer. To leave the young South American on the pitch, already on a yellow and with no European experience to draw on was just managerial incompetence despite the bad call.

It’s always a source of great amusement to see rangers lose any game, but to exit the CL qualifier at the first hurdle is particularly pleasing. It guarantees us extra money without doing anything.
The arrival of Adam Idah will put our squad at the same position as last season (more or less) and so let’s hope that some of that vast cash we hold, and income we know is coming, can be used to bring in one or two genuine challengers for a first XI position.

Sure even zombies were questioning this is pre season. Sure one punter on a podcast asked
” seriously is he blind in his left eye ?”
Brentford have not agreed a deal for O Shea.”On a different page”,claims reports.Why not try?.
Drives me mad the time we take.
He blundered badly with Bernard’s shot in the final , thankfully big Adam was there to bury it …..
Jack Butland has had more clubs than Jack Nicolaus
Just heard that the UEFA CL draw will be automated for the first time….
Expect a couple of Russian teams in there…..
Rainjurz count the cost of ‘crashing out’ of a competition they weren’t in
Back to Basics
You would need to net off the costs of staging the game at Hampden and the associated hosting costs and travel costs to get the true loss but your point is valid.
It’s a huge chunk of money.

That is funny.
I cannot concentrate on my work.
Reading follow follow is such a joy as all the pennies are dropping.
It almost feels sinful pleasure enjoying their grief.
I am getting very worried about my mental health. I think I get more enjoyment seeing the scum lose than I get when Celtic win.
Do I have a problem which needs seeing to ??

On a serious note – I define them ‘ they hate Celtic more than they love their team’

I feel truly blessed.

If he’s our next target let’s hope Arne Slots right in.
After all, his cheer squad song – nicked from the Eurythmics – writes itself…
“There must be an Engel playing at Celtic Park”

I just had a minute’s silence in my class this morning. A student said to me who passed away Coach McBride, and I said ranger’s Champion’s league dreams, even the kids over here get it :)))
