I don’t know what the commercial value of our summer games against Barcelona, Leicester City and Inter Milan are, but those three games are sure to dwarf the earnings we make from domestic media and prize money for the whole of next season.
TV rights for English Premier League football from next season will average just above £7m per game, that’s for each of the 10 games on the weekly card – Sweet Georgia Brown! The actual value of these varies enormously: Watford v Bournemouth has practically no commercial value, all the real value is added by games between big clubs – even the likes of Newcastle, who are a poor team, but one which many colours of football fans still want to watch.
In a different environment, TV rights for Celtic games would be north of that £7m per game figure (the increased exposure would also geometrically improve commercial rights values). Think what we could do with that kind of money…….. more paper towels in the gents, maybe, the possibilities are limitless!
Our position is far from unique, there are a dozen or so European teams of similar size who have been marginalised from what was once a meritocratic game, so change must (always) remain on our agenda. But for now, we have to make what we can from our role as the Celtic Globetrotters.

Celtic’s Development team had another convincing win earlier this week and I wish the club had re-arranged to play one of their postponed games this week-end to provide me with some football interest. International football is rubbish.
Scotland’s Under19s must be special when the player previously ranked 1st of those born in 1998 isn’t included in the squad for three important qualifiers. Shame they were gubbed 0-2 in the first of them and I imagine Calvin enjoyed his goal on Tuesday. Think he scored a double earlier this month as well.
================================================
i agree its a pity something could not be arranged regarding our development squad as it would be good to go and see,but they are talented wee Tims too :-),in demand all over the place,one age group is in Dublin at the St Kevin tourney,another in Spain i think at an invitational tourney,
On Calvin things have changed a wee bit since he was nominated as best player in his age group,i believe he has become a Dad,so new responsibilities etc,i think you were at the Valencia game(me too) where he was subbed with cramp early in the second half.i was bit down for him as he was one i was lookin out for and i dont get to many devt games.but like yourself i hope he comes thro and plays for the hoops.
All the best mate :-)
