Well done to Hibernian fans for turning up in sufficient numbers to increase turnover to £8.0m from £6.9m the previous season, allowing the club to turn a profit in Armageddon season, despite some mediocre performances on the field. The challenge for chairman Rod Petrie is to ensure the elevated income level results in the club outperforming village clubs, who survive on a fraction of Hibs income.
Hibernian should tower over St Johnstone, Inverness, Ross County and Motherwell in the race for second place.
Debt remains high at £5.5m (if Celtic’s debt was a similar proportion to turnover it would be circa £40m) but with the wages to turnover ratio at 49% there is scope to both bring debt down and get better value for money on the field.
30 friends, family and supporters of the Tommy Burns Skin Cancer Trust will be leaving Celtic Park on tomorrow afternoon heading to Dingwall where they will start a 400 mile cycle round every Scottish Premiership ground returning to Celtic Park on Sunday 15th September at 3:30pm. Their goal is to raise £100k for Melanoma Action and Support Scotland (MasScot) who are looking to introduce Scotland’s first ever mobile skin cancer screening unit which is bound to save lives given the success rates when diagnosing melanoma in early stages.
You can follow the team @TommyBurnsSCT and on Facebook this week as they begin this amazing fundraising event. Please support the team if you can at MyDonate. Packie Bonner and Frank McGarvey are signed up and Bertie Auld is getting involved in the final day.
You can participate in the last hour of the cycle, from St Mirren to Celtic Park, leaving around 2:30 on the Sunday, by emailing scottmcgarvey@gmail.com. Scott will get you organised and help with a fundraising page.
Our thoughts to Jock Stein’s surviving family today, 28 years after his death, as another former Celtic manager prepares Scotland for a World Cup qualifier. Those old enough to remember his time have a gift which the young will never know.

Sevco: The Game of Throes
;o)
How can a ‘THE Rangers’ have the brass neck to threaten legal action over the BBC citing a legal fact. Rangers 1872 were liquidated. It all boils down to Scots mercantile law. That is under Scots law the football club and business were one and the same, ergo if the business is liquidated so was the football club – inseparable . It is an extremely simple concept to understand why so many employees of our media and sections of the general public fail to grasp this is somewhat perplexing.
Personally I hope that the BBC call their bluff- sue and be dammed but we know it is all bluster absolutely no chance of Sevco starting legal action.
The dead club still refusing to admit to death then? How long can a compliant media refuse to challenge this fiction?
Jim Spence didn’t even say they were dead, just that some people believe so.
Fractions? I’m trying to put a calendar on a spreedsheet….help !!

It’s like the NTNON sketch about the printer who died on the job-they tied him to a radiator to pretend to the bosses he was still alive.
Similar stench too!
!BADA BING!
Ever wish you’d stuck to your old job?

Agreed. Tomlin I was a bit like ‘who’s this guy – what’s this last minute bid all about?’ but it makes sense now. Looking at him he’s very similar to Kris in stature (i.e. he’s a bit round for an athlete) but that can be worked on and he actually looks like he’s got a good bit of pace about him. He can dribble and shoot and runs at defenders, which they don’t like! His goal-scoring rate is pretty good as are his assists. He’s contributing to a goal every 2 games, all very comparable with Commons who is playing in a dominant team.
He seems like an under the radar type. If parts of his game can be improved he could be a really good player and potent weapon.
