First, there was faux outrage that the Celtic – Aberdeen game later this month was not on TV. Now, the sights have been trained on Celtic, who reserved their right to have five, instead of seven, home games shown on live TV.
Sky Sport can broadcast up to five games from any ground. This is designed to allow two visits each by Celtic and Newco to the one venue, while permitting, for example, one Edinburgh derby. Sky also have limited TV slots and had to nominate games for this month early in the season, when Aberdeen were considered unlikely to be joint top of the table.
Premier Sports offer £75k per game, if a club wants to allow up to two additional home fixtures televised. That’s about £1.25 for each spectator who would be inconvenienced by the Celtic – Aberdeen game moving to an ungodly hour on a Sunday. Football is a live action sport in Scotland, this status must be retained. League rules and Celtic’s decision are both helpful to the fans who pay money to turn up, week in, week out.
It is interesting that reports suggest only Celtic rejected Premier Sports offer of £75k per game. I can understand Ross County being keen on the extra cash, but Newco too? The economic interests of Celtic and Newco often align. They have similar sized fan bases and the extra cash would be paltry compared to inconveniencing Newco’s season ticket holders.
Perhaps the need for cash is more acute than we imagined. A club without a permanent chairman, without a chief exec or a head of academy, is apparently soon to be without a head of football operations. All we know for sure is that the previous incumbents of all of those roles have seen under the bonnet of Newco and are not hanging around.

I’m assuming Sinisalo is on “international duty” 🤣🤣
Albeit both goals have started from our player in midfield being easily dispossessed

Valle caught out, but recovers well. No one excelling for Celtic. Yang best so far.
Could be 3 or 4-1 down here
Evening all.
I appreciate there is a Sligo vs Celtic game going on.
However.
A wee ‘Chicken soup for the Soul’ Celtic style.

Brian.
Just watched the `highlights`. Bain, our `keeper, looked way below the required standard.
Poor display from Celtic so far . .bain could have done better with the Sligo goals , plus We have perfected the knack of passing to the opposition .

Yup think it’s the 64 up to ground.
You keep out of way of the rather inclement weather out your way.
Keep safe Celt.

Thank you. Keeping a close eye on it but we should be a short distance North of it.

So i will tell PAUL 67 to let you have my EMAIL ADDRESS so we can swap names
if you want’
Looks more like Celtic , one touch football , Turley looks a player .
Some of the play is dire.
Over hit passes, no rythm, slow tackled. Not finding a team mate. I know its a friendly but surely the players want to impress Brendan Rodgers ?
Yang misses an absolute sitter to equalize
Has Yang ever scored for us?
Young McArdle is doing well.
Apart from McCowan there’s not much out there.
Yang misses sitter. Dominant but not made enough chances
Palma’s corners are absolute shite
