There is no point bleating that tonight’s Europa League final is the weakest imaginable, Newco are there because they are good enough to eliminate two German sides and a few weaker opponents. If they win, fair play to them, they deserve their day in the sun. I expect them to lose.
Either way, the outcome will determine relative financial strength in Scottish football. This season Newco will return an operating profit for the first time in their history. Sales of Patterson to Everton and the management team to Aston Villa, already ensured a bumper year. The run to a European final could make them the highest earners in Scotland, eclipsing Celtic in this regard for the first time. It will bestow no more than a stay of execution to a side with gaping structural deficiencies.
The importance of Celtic winning the league this season cannot be overstated. Irrespective of what happens across the city, access to Champions League income ensures our place at the top of the income chart is virtually assured next season. If we are there alone from Scotland, the benefits Newco gain from this season will seem no more than a dead cat bounce. If two clubs are there, we compete on equal terms, against a team spending from income, not debt.
It’s all about the money, nothing else determines long-term outcomes.

The Frankfurters have not drawn a blank so far in this tournament
============================
At the risk of tooting my own trombone ……
Water break.
Just to reiterate my pep talk
Frankfurt are crap😀
Damn ! All those Yaaasss and Goooaaalll stuff made me think Northampton had scored .
Lurking Tim, are you available for selection tomorrow mate?
The guy running with Aribo for the Hun goal never even tried to tackle him. Watch it again.
What is this with ‘water breaks’ – try playing on black ash on a November morning !
If Eintracht don’t make another stupid mistake they will win this
Wright booked. About time too.
I KNEW the Frankiebhoys had scored – handy having Tims as neighbours. They are obviously not supporting the coefficient.
Jack off ( sounds bad, that🤣)

Aye with one of those balls that had the wee pimples on it. If you got hit with it the mark lasted a week.
Pretty poor defence for the Frankfurt goal from the govan galacticos
Kent diving.
davis on for Huns.
We’re the Straubs Unionists. ??????
League two play off over- Mansfield won. Should I watch the Huns or Derry Girls now?
Ref giving them everything.
BRRB…am waiting on a health txt….mibbe tomoz late afternoon?

Lundstrum fouling with impunity.

There was nothing in that. Rangers had them where they wanted them. They’ve barely had a cross in on that side. This time the ball comes in and Borre nicks in in front of a defender.
It’s so depressing for Rangers. They don’t deserve that. They were in control.
It’s a whole bunch of errors for Rangers defensively.
Calling all cqn. A meeting has been convened at the 8 ball pool hall for tomorrow at midday. All welcome no exceptions.
Hauge wastes chance.

Frankfurt have been so poor in the final third tonight.
Wasting decent chances.Better team now.
Tuta subbed after giving a textbook lesson in how to defend like Efe Ambrose. Taking the coward’s way out.
Even Hately and BBC huns say it was a stonewall pen, as well as BT ref.
At least they’ve equalised.
