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.

Great to see Mo and Usain together.
Favourite Olympic story was the recognition given
to Peter Norman unsung hero from the Mexico Olympics.
Olympics almost over and i’ve managed to avoid most of it,..apart from some chinese midgets jumping around a carpet and a couple of guys jumping off a plank into a shitload of water,
Go Team GB go…please.

Not a fan of these games but understand why we take them on.Guys can get injured in a training session,good luck to young Dylan.Can Kelvin Wilson prove a lot of us wrong ?.Played very well against top players,looks like he is built of straw but hopefully ,might have turned the corner.
Wow and still they come out, crazy on here today.

Your wife is spot on!
RM only get away with it in Spain due to their establishment position.
Just like to say thank you to everyone who replied to my usual rubbish posts.
It really means a lot!
I don’t usually get replies, but that doesn’t mean you are not very clever or sensible.
You just made an old stupid man very happy.
Thank you and god bless you all.
C’MON THE CELTS!

I’ve always been a glass half empty Bhoy.
Can’t imagine what it must be like to be a glass empty Bhoy.

Starry…..
James Forrest!!!
Would we not have been cheaper buying a quality wide man than spending all that money on a youth/academy/reserve programme that’s produced very little in the last 5 years or so?

My glass is never empty!!
WHISKY GLASS MAYBEE.
But Celtic glass always seems drip dried on a hot summers day. ;-)

Thanks chief.Good manager,great wee team,and financially sound.
The Celtic Football Club is doing just fine,and if we get to these CL group stages…we’ll be doing great!
Could not be more content.
test …………cqn on pc is sketchy for me at the mo
Watt????
Canny get in front of Murphy!
He will pursue his career elsewhere if he has any ambition.
I honestly do not know why the manager does not include him in his first team squads.
Do you?

good point, but I think the dark side have been cheating from way before murray (he deserves a capital letter even less than a knighthood)
Twardzic???
Ah, a first team regular.
Sorry. I forgot about him.

Your wife is an astute reader of the game and could replace any BBC Scotland sports journalist… well except maybe Jim Spence and Stuart Cosgrove.
We are Celtic, Super Celtic
Everyone who is anyone likes us
…and we care a great deal!

How much does the youth development cost per year?

Totally agree!Live within our means whatever the outcome.Leeds Utd and Oldco chased the dream,speculate to accumulate and all that.They don’t exist anymore.

Phil now yer jist being silly…your either in the past or in the future, what’s up with today Mate, A Celtic team on the verge of the CL with a crop of young established first teamers and a new crop of youths on the brink of the first team.
What is you want from Celtic Philip?? Name the players you want brought in instead of following the sheep on here that are constantly running down the process that Celtic are going through!
Big Bucks thrown at players doesn’t guarantee success ask tonights opponents and look at the players they have as bench warmers, Kaka, Diarra, Benzema even…
Celtic are on the the right track for those who want to see it like that…
I’m lookin’ forward to tomorrow when nobody replies to my usual posts.
Am knackered!
Good night and God bless all good folk!

stop dissing oor young bhoys!
Anyone who gets a start is an example of a ‘prospect’
Do you expect the young lads to become regulars right away?
Support the bhoys, young, old, and even those purchased for an inflated fee!

Never saw the game against Royal Madrid tonight.
Saw that the crowd was 68,000.
Were there many hoops in attendance?

Hard to tell proportions. Stadium looked huge and top tier closed, but loads of hoops in the crowd.
From the Madrid Bhoy..

We didn’t let ourselves down tonight. Dylan is a real prospect and I pray he is well. Emilio looked back on top form. BTW The weather forecast is for heavy rain next week and the week after that too. Honey bees are disappearing What is Peter doing about all that. PL sort it out. It’s all your fault. HELP. HH.

Mohammed is a superstar and I’m very proud of him.
No ill will was intended.

Enjoy the new CBeebies blog

cmon the hoops our young team havent looked this good for many years
Also,i would plead with all Celtic supporters to be patient with,and to have faith in Emilio Izaguirre.
The only thing that Emilio has lost is a wee bit of confidence,and once his confidence returns again,then so shall that most outstanding of footballers return to his best.
Neil Lennon believes.

Just checked accounts and youth development cost Celtic £680k last season and I would imagine it hasn’t been very much more in previous years. Even if we say in previous years it might have been as much as £1m, Aiden’s transfer fee probably covered this for 10 years.
We don’t spend an awful lot on youth development and that (and the overall lack of talent in Scotland) is why there have been very few breakthroughs recently.
Even in Scotland as a whole there have been very few stand out players developed who when 18/19ish would have forced their way into the Celtic team.
It’s notjust Celtic, most teams in Scotland are struggling to develop their own young players to a standard that is required.
