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.

Phileeeepe knew trouble was around the corner ,signing a new contract last week ,more money when he does get punted.
I posted a comment last night from one of the 3 stooges,Which I think deserved a wider audience
Talking about,Lawrence,he said,” He is trying hard,I mean he came through the pre- season uninjured”
Mind boggling stupidity.
Bada,
Me,a bedwetter!!!!!!!!!How very dare you.
i like Hutton and Thompson so I was watching McGregor last night to see if he is actually an OK bloke post retirement.
At half-time he talked some sense but couldn’t resist (when discussing Killie and St Mirren) that ‘we can’t keep the co-efficient up forever’ with a snidey smirk.
At full time he was in full wild eyed meltdown and even brought up the Sterling booking in the cup final to compare to the second yellow last night (momentum and player cheating).
I decided that, on balance, I don’t really care for him
So Stonehenge is Scottish…. Fekin knew it !,😄
TB- You are only saying what plenty have been saying for weeks, why the wait? If you want a player like O’Shea, get in early,by all accounts,he’s a fan and been to a few games.If all we end up with is a couple of loans,this won’t end well for those in charge.

Seem to remember an episode in the Flintstones that covered that story.
Size is not everything….many European capital cities have a very low return when it comes to champion football clubs. Neither Paris or Rome can boast a CL winner nor indeed any team from Berlin. London for all its array of facilities only have Chelsea , who pushed the boat out so far in terms of money that eventually they had to win the big cup, albeit in boring fashion. In Scotland’s capital today, the Edinburgh clubs are at the bottom of the league and their subsidiary, Glasgow Grifters, have resorted to squatting at Hampden Park. Sure, Madrid is an exception to the rule but in general the further out into the country you get the better the football scene is. Glasgow is a dear green place.

apparently, Dubai don’t show re-runs of the Flintstones on TV but;
Abu Dhabi do………………
Bugger it,the co-efficient is knackered,let’s go for a full house and get those other two out. Kilmasonic and St. midden.
Maestro
Well him and Tony Ralston have a great understanding already
coneybhoy
They don’t write them like that anymore…
Gene
True seen him perform brilliantly for Inter at CP.
Maestro- worth a punt for a year,need to see how many games he played over there,he might have been at Liverpool when Brendan was there?
Hate is a strong word when it comes to thems but sometimes geography can play a part in why you hate them , or if they smashed your windows of your council house every few weeks and the coucil glazers would wait about 3 weeks to come up and replace said windows. Meanwhile people of the blue persuasion would get their windaes fixed next day. Or when the bands would start right outside yer house at 6am n the morning, trying to waken you up but then thems no remebering that yer auld man was a postie and so most folks in yer house were already up. Or getting followed home from school because you wore a uniform. Or waking up in the morning and your clothes on your washing line were smeared with stuff or your delivered milk was a funny color, or calling the polis and them thinking it was pretty funny. So as I am getting older and more Victor Mature, and having lived in America for the last 30 years, can I say that my lack of love for them has changed?????? no nay never no more, still the same
God Bless

Maestro- Shaqiri, 32, originally joined the Fire as a Designated Player on Feb. 9, 2022, via transfer from Olympique Lyonnais (Ligue 1, France). The Swiss international appeared in 75 matches (63 starts) for the Fire across all competitions, scoring 16 goals and registering 20 assists.
The phone-ins (can’t get them here) must be a laugh tonight.

Bada he’s a talent I’ve always thought would do a great job a model pro.
Brendan never had him at Liverpool also.

To the pure, all things are pure.:)
Not very helpful reply csc
I have the knack for that sort of reply.
Seems Atalanta have bid £23 million, which is the magic number
less than 20000 tickets sold for saint johnstone game. phillipe is a flop.
he wont be there in october/
But we understand Celtic have recently written to Rangers insisting they will NOT give away briefs for the Sunday September 1 clash at Parkhead.
They have made their decision after behind-the-scenes talks with police and Glasgow council chiefs.
Whoda thunk it…..
Good evening all from the Victoria Bar. A lot of smirking Tims and not a hun to be smelt.
St Stivs
He might as well reign until September
No hun in Paradise. Ever.
