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.

That was delightful 😂😂😂😂
Not fond of hearts but they are lesser of two evils, hopefully they take advantage of extra time in that heat.
Then 6 of their players for the off.
No money to re build.
But according to the TV they are amazing.
They are lucky cheats with a cr*p style of football.
No super cup money spinner for them either.
Lol
given i was only 1 at the time, i’d say losing the europa cup final was more enjoyable than winning the european cup
Quick look on some rangers website.
(Ah know – whit ahm ah like..?)
Fair to say Aaron isn’t flavour of the month.
Have already said weeks ago,I fancied the double.Hearts will be up for Saturday.Not a foregone conclusion.CHs back.Rested.
RC – There were loads of fireworks going off in the Garngad even a mini carcade of about 10 cars with celtic and tri colour flags.
D :)
Will take Eintracht from pot 1.
Big Jimmy, David66, I really shouldn’t but Hahaha Hahaha Hahaha Hahaha Hahaha Hahaha ya hun vermin. Ps Hahaha Hahaha Hahaha Hahaha
d66 – could hear it up the road
Celtic fans should have organized a party in George Sq.
Could you imagine it.Well,not getting used tonight.
Hopefully they will be so down they’ll just disappear to their hotels or the airport and leave Seville in peace.
Just finished putting together 1 year old (tomorrow) grandson’s fecking birthday pressie. Took all night and Took my mind away from the shenanigans in Seville. Just tuned in to see the result. The irony of it all. Who’d ah thunk it? Penalties, eh! Marvellous, just marvellous. Gonna enjoy the read back now.
Sleep well, fellow Tims.
Hope Glasgow Council have granted permission for their open top parade homecoming. I want to applaud Aaron Ramsay
If those two bang average teams can make a euro final then so can we.
Come on Celtic, let’s do something really special next season.

Pray to God they do, but they are dangerous when they group together, even their ‘normal'(if you can say that) ones turn ugly.

If the reaction on their websites is anything to go by , it’ll be a public hanging drawing and quartering you’ll be watching.
Some might say … who cares what old club new club next club do …. But like it or lump it they are still our rivals and for me am over the moon they didn’t win
Ange is the massive positive for us this season … and the league the priority
But now … could the Jam Tarts put the icing on the season 2022 cake ???
I love the Scottish cup … but this season am happy with everything Ange & the bhoys have gave us
Happy days :-) 🍀
Due to Extra Time and penalties, tonight’s episode of Banged Up Abroad, will now be broadcast live from Seville
Us and European football.
Forget about the TFOD2.1 and their work every angle playbook.
VR is the team we should be setting our sights on — starting next season.
And if they are having a poor year then anything Portuguese or from the Benelux.
No more excuses / no more SPL cringe.
But ehhhhhhhhhhhhh, I think ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, but ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, GVB’s interview! :)) por cierto
C’mon lads Ramsey was bought for these moments😂😂😂😂
Agent Ramsey, mission complete, return to base 😂🤣
For anyone who say they don’t care what Sevco do, you’re missing out on one of the highlights of the season….hun tears and a £30m+ Champions League cash advantage over our only real rivals.
Enjoy it :)
Aaaaaaannnnnnnd breathe….
Aaron has effectively welshed on his deal to be their season’s saviour ;)
Definitely the worst/best possible way to lose out on a trophy tilt.
Will Celtic and The Rangers fans finally be able to bond over both being beaten in a final in Seville ??

Great effort in the Europa League from Rangers and the players have given their all. With the amount of penalties they’ve been awarded this season I fancied them in the shootout mind. Well done to Frankfurt though👏👏
Special thanks to notorious cheats, Juventus, for loaning Aaron and apparently paying his wages (aye right). This has brought me closer now to forgiving them for their cheating diving against us in September 2001.
Tavpen taking it well😂🤣
Mad Mitch
Stick to read rugby
After your egg chasing comment I know realise why you use so many acronyms… with all those double and treble barrelled names .. with zero fitba comment
Frankfurt 🇩🇪
Happy days :-)
I still cannot believe / accept that there are 7 top flight football teams in Germany worse than EF.
Their best CB was a 38 year old midget while the RW looked to be working for a betting syndicate.
They seemed to be playing like an anarchist theatre troupe / particularly bad jazz group.
From the BBC the highlights are mine , hurting much ….aye
Rangers suffered an agonising penalty shootout defeat in their fifth European final as Eintracht Frankfurt triumphed in an absorbing Europa League decider.
Rafael Borre crashed in the decisive spot kick after Aaron Ramsey was denied just moments earlier in front of a colossal Rangers support in the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium.
Those fans had been euphoric when the Scots took the lead through Joe Aribo’s ice-cool second-half finish in the sweltering cauldron in Seville.
However, Borre detonated raucous scenes in a jam-packed Frankfurt end 12 minutes later as he steered in a soft equaliser to send this sapping contest to extra time and penalties.
Rangers’ players crumpled to their feet as Frankfurt’s bench spewed on to the pitch as they heralded in their own second European trophy.
Straw poll,
all us old duffers on here,
ex low level footballers, between 20 and 50 years ago,
asked to take part in a penalty shoot out,
could you have taken a worst effort penalty than that guy ramsay ?
father ted five a side effort
they should check his betting patterns
