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.

    Dylan was out cold before his head hit the turf. Really worrying for the young man.

     

    I hope it’s not as serious as it looks.

    The look on the faces of the Celtic players and Neil Lennon does not bode well.

     

     

    I really hope the boy is alright.

     

     

    He is conscious thank Goodnesss

  5. Hope young Dylan’s injury is not too serious, looked like a jaw or cheek, the lhad was in pain.

     

     

    Well done to the players of both teams for their reaction signalling for the medics to get on.

  6. McGeouch was smacked in the side of the head – accidental. Knocked straight out – he has recovered consciousness and is being stretchered off but was able to talk and move around, so I don’t think this is going to be too bad, but a very frightening moment or two there.

  7. God speed Dylans recovery, suspect that could be a broken jaw very harsh on Dylan was having a fine match

  8. lost interest in this game now. Just need to know that Dylan is well. We have done well against a world class team and Dylan played really well.

    Stokes Murphy and Mc Geogh ..high casualty list. Lets just get out of here without any more injuries.

  10. Cowards challenge on McGeouch.

    Hope he is OK and had played well
