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.

It’s Franks’n’Beans for dinner tomorrow, washed down with copious amounts of hun tears and finished with a humungous helping of jelly and ice cream.

There is a reason that EF are the 11th best team in Germany.
They think they are the Harlem Globetrotters with all their flicks and tricks.
Why pass when you can run up blind alleys.
The GM team in Germany.
Never thought I would ever support them but hey ho.
The game wasn’t fit to grace an Inter Toto Cup Final.
Great result though.
Hopefully Seville will be safe tonight.

Flood alert issued in Seville
I live in earshot of one of the few sevco pubs in the Southside massive, in the middle of the green triangle.
Had turned the game off but heard the cheer for the goal from the pub. Head phones then on and tunes.
Read a few updates, felt Frankfurt would score.
Get to the pens. I was in a far away room talking on the phone and then I hear a cheer….oh f@#$ i thought…
But, wait a minute, it’s my fellow Celtic fans neighbours……cheering with gusto. Checks here, takes an age to update……Yaldy 😁 now tuned in for laughs😂🤣
