Win over HJK worth at least £6m to Celtic

1408

Celtic will receive £1.65m from the Uefa revenue distribution system for participating in the Champions League play-off round against Helsingborgs.  Add to that around £1m gate money and the guarantee of at least three Europa League games, with Uefa distribution money, you can calculate the value of Wednesday’s win over HJK Helsinki as no less than £6m (all figures are net of vat).  Quite a prize for one game.

Compare this to the projected income from newco The Rangers, who claimed to have sold 25,000 season tickets.  If all sales were at full adult prices (£258 in vat), net income would be £5.375m.

Should Celtic overcome Helsingborgs and reach the Champions League group stage, the club will return to a remarkably strong financial footing.

    The real Madrid team….

     

     

    Adán; Arbeloa, Albiol, Ramos, Coentrao; Khedira, X. Alonso; Callejón, Kaká, Cristiano, Higuaín.

     

     

    No bad.

  2. Can I make a wee request that regardless of performance or result tonight we show a degree of perspective on here and remember that this Real Madrid team humiliated AC Milan last week?

     

     

    Thank you kindly :-)

    Blame Kafflick schools- David Ridusha,the Kenyan 800m runner who broke the WR in winning gold the other night is coached by a Catholic missionary, Fr O’Connell.

     

     

    Fr O’Connell also coaches Timothy Kitum, who won bronze.

     

     

    Our own PP spent many years in Kenya so I’ll have to ask him if he knows him.

  6. Stuart Cosgrove quoting one of our fellow Cqners on radio shortbread.

     

     

    He’s pushing the argument that the orcs shouldn’t have been able to recruit any players until football debts repaid and wants to know that wages being paid come with guarantees of solvency………. The power of Cqn!!!!!!!

  7. Electronic Tims ‏@ETimsNet

     

    Cosgrove “We’ve argued ourselves into believing we need a club who ran up £148m debt to save Scottish football” BOOOOOM!

    #McCost is furious that The #Rangers have been deducted two points for failing to beat Peterhead. “Have we not been punished enough?”
