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.

  1. ah no im stating the obvious but we are working so hard to win the ball that when we get it we need to retain possession a bit better to give us a chance to build from midfield kayal particullarly guilty IMO

  2. Stuart Cosgrove asking some pertinent questions earlier about Sevco and their newfound dedication to the kind of financial profligacy which saw their step-grandad end up in the chokey, whether the SFA are even monitoring Sevco’s dubious business practices which they seem to have picked up where the huns left them lying at the cliff edge or have sought any financial assurances from our intrepid anti-heroes: talk today of Sevco paying £5k compared to the 3rd div £150pwk salary avge – paying 30X the going rate to achieve a score draw today? Are the governors of our game watching this unfolding? Doesn’t this smell familiar?

  6. Yoind Dylan playing well, comfortablw on the ball. Must be quite a novelty for him not to be kicked every time he gets the ball.

    expect a £10m bid for McGeouch at full time ;-)

     

     

    Aye, he is looking very good indeed – so comfortable on the ball. He should be given the chance this season to show what he is made of. Great player.
