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.

starry…..
I was going to bed but…….
I agree we have a promising young team.
What we don’t have is serious money to strengthen that team.
My concern is that we have not brought through to first team level anyone from the academy/19’s/reserves in any great numbers in recent years.
Mcgeady, Forrest and err,…………..not Twarzic, Watt, McGeoch et al.
We have been here just about every year with promising youngsters, but they do not materialise in the numbers I think we should be seeing.
It’s not my fault, but i sure as hell think i am allowed to express my opinion on what has been abject failure on the part of those people who are paid huge salaries to provide first team players from the academy and such like.
You’re a dick Phil, time for bed

What blog was that? You bviously read it already.
Or why would you be recommending it to someone else?
Deary, deary, me!
…technically, I’m a dick (based on my name) :-)
A bit of George Carlin and the bankers, years ago, no surprise though, it always repeats it’s self.

Yes I was also impressed with big Kelvin tonight against a truly class side. But unfortunately one good game for some players is often the exception and not the rule: Glen, big Dan – remember them?!
What I would give for a Paul Elliott type right now: ok when he first joined he was p#sh and was booked almost every 2nd game; but players’ player of the year

I do not know anything about you nor can i remember any of your posts.
Your invective does you no good.
You are an embarrassment to this site.
Gordon64 @22.31- for the Sydney Olympics every living Australian medallist was invited as a guest of honour to the Games, apart from Peter Norman. I think that his son has got a film out just now about the Carlos/Smith protests, and Norman’s role in them.
Philbhoy – It’s just the beginning
It is a great blog
Sweet dreams
That kid who replaced the injured Glenda against Rennes at CP(and then went on to play a stormer) got a wee run out when Rogne went off injured earlier.

You too!
ghuys, tonight was all about exposure.. as Bournesouprecipe says, absolutely astonishing that an SPL club is involved with such matches, Celtic one of the biggest clubs in the world? you better believe it!
Dylan, you were outstanding tonight, one of the best players on the park, get well soon son
Phil boy time for bed, nice to be remembered as the guy who seen an injured player and then took a shot at the board, real classy

We always live to fight another day!

Yeah I saw that but WTF would he know doesn’t he know it was all a PL scheme to demean our club and destroy our chances of the CL pot, that Kris Commons saying he enjoyed it too, they’re no following the Armageddon script and how dare wee Dylan show his class to a worldwide audience…
Sack the Board..

Peter Norman still holds the Australian record for the 200m
yet he was not allowed to compete in the 72 Olympics.
John Carlos and Tommie Smith carried his coffin.
A true Olympian.

Some seriously disturbing hun comments on Twitter tonight. Celtic twitterverse on the case.

sheesh! What does he know?
How you doin’ these days? Got my new badge from Tommy, nice guy and doing a great job.
If big Rogne is suspect, I would give Lustig and Wilson a run as centre of defence. I thought Lustig looked good as centre half and I would like to give Kelvin a wee run based on tonight’s performance.
At least give them a shot against Ross County surely?….

You completely missed my point!
However, I won’t hold that against you!
I know. that like me, your heart is in the right place.
Reading back on the blog today, it was said that BRTH got a mention on Shortbread today about something he wrote on TSFM blog.
I had a look at the blog, but I don’t see what they were on about.
Is it something to do with the Nimmo Smith report?

In fact, sorry is what I should have said. Was (prob influenced by a few sherries watchin the bhoys in Philly) too ready to take offence. Was a bit preachy too, but that Proclaimers song is def worth a listen & I’m delighted that they’ve taken to playin it at 1/2 time @ CP. Would love to hear the GB beltin that out!!

FF had some disgusting comments after Dylan’s brother Darren had tweeted how proud he was of a wee bhoy from the Milton playing against Real Madrid.
I’m glad I’m not so bitter.
The ‘seriously disturbing comment’ is the lingua franca of the Hillbilly.

Smashing footballer he is mate,and he has a heart like a lion.On his way back from a most horrific injury.A wee bit concerned about his mentality these days,but i am sure that will improve.His manager,(and there is no better man than Lenny) will help him get through this.
Time is a great healer.

Nobody doubts Izzie is a good player but is defence his best position?

A good thing not to have bitterness in your heart.
That’s the difference.
I know it’s a pipe dream (is that right??) but maybe no more mention of the ex club on this site ever?? I know I know. But it would be so much better without them.

I thought that Kayal played very well against Madrid,he should be a more than capable replacement for Wanyama in the CL game.
