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.

    Celtic not in action, Edinburgh derby takes SPL centre stage this weekend

     

    Rangers will step into unchartered territory today as they kick off their first ever league campaign outside the top flight of Scottish football with a visit to Peterhead.

     

    It caps a humiliating fall from grace for the country’s most successful club, who were relaunched as a new company, or newco, in June after the old company couldn’t be saved from liquidation following financial difficulties.

     

    It will be the Ibrox club’s debut in Scottish football’s lowest tier after they were voted into the Third Division following their failed bid to get back into the Scottish Premier League.

    According to Chris Mc on BBC the deal’s already done with JJB. Only technicalities to be sorted.

     

     

    That will mean compensation has already been agreed

     

     

    Effectively, Ashley has bought SevCo merchandising for £2m

  5. Talking of billionaires investing in der orkenkind mkII, this is old hat surely?

     

     

    I mean, we’ve had Mr Halifax and his BoS, some Motherwell Born Billionaire and of course let’s not forget that Old Lizzie ‘invested’ around £93m in der orkenkind mkI. Joe Lewis? Dave King? Billionaires each.

     

     

    They’re still being liquidated.

    I heard he was banned because of an article of his saying Celtic refused to play in a benefit match for Sean Fallon; this upset the club and Sean’s family.

  7. Thems can ponce around like gonzo dressage fillies all thems want….thems is heading rapido to the knacker’s yard.

     

    We is heading to the winner’s enclosure like thoroughbreds.

     

    I say this mainly for the benefit of hun lurkers,who apparently skulk on here to get the lowdown on what the actual state of affairs is.. becaus their own sites just lie lie lie and they know it.

     

    Must be mad when you’re that stupid.

  13. Ah Chris McLaughlin,

     

     

    Scotland’s leading Churnalist, he has in effect been stripped of all credibility by Internet Bampots such as us, there are just too many examples of his uninformed churnalism to count, regularly slaughtered on Twitter by everyone and anyone, I’m in the “If Chris said it it’s bound to be inaccurate camp”

     

     

    Lapping it up daily..

    New start for reborn Gers

     

     

    Rangers will step into unchartered territory today as they kick off their bid for a quick return to the top flight of Scottish football with a visit to Peterhead.

     

    It caps a whirlwind period for the country’s most successful club, who were successfully relaunched as a new company, or newco, in June after the old company struggled after poor management decisions in the last 12 months.

     

    It will be the Ibrox club’s debut in Scottish football’s lowest tier after they were relegated to the Third Division following their failed bid to stay in the Scottish Premier League.

     

    Celtic not in action, Edinburgh derby this weekend.

  15. FF already in meltdown over fat man’s managerial capabilities!!

    sevco are now newcastle’s third team tehe

     

     

    when this deal goes thru even the MSM wont be able to pretend sevco are rangers anymore.

  17. What is the Stars on

    Boylessports going Peterhead to win 17/2 (with draw no bet so if it finishes a draw you get your money back)

  18. Can’t believe so many people are watching a Div3 match on tv.

     

     

    Not a bit of wonder they think they are the be all and end all of scottish football with so many people watching them on TV.

     

     

    Ignore them.
