An absolutely superb result by Celtic tonight.

missed it - not bad though for over £1m.


Yep, sure is and the possible opponents are:

Cluj, Helsingborgs, Maribor, AEL Limassol and Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona

Minimum another £5m in the bank.

Time to sort out a centre half and a centre forward.

Have I told you Ledley, that I love you.....

I think we'll sell Ki and use that money instead - having spent £2m already I think that is the way to go.

Talk about value for money - by far our best freebie for years.

I think we would easily get £7m for Ki so with the £2m spent on Lurch that would give us £10m to spend.

We'll probably pay off more of the debt and spend £3m on players if we don't reach the CL.


A match made in heaven.

Not long until he leaves us for some place better though.

It's a tough one watching Celtic play in Europe. On the one hand it makes the SPL look better if they win, but on the other hand Champions League money puts yet another financial barrier between Celtic and anyone else trying to compete in the league (which makes the SPL worse).

The more games Celtic win, the more co-efficient points the SPL get, the more points the SPL get, the more CL/EL places there are for the SPL sides, the more CL/EL places = more money coming into the SPL.

well done celtic...good win
missed game as i had to work

Derby fever is kicking in.......

Has anybody read about the new sky sports advert that is displayed opposite Easter Road ?

Whoever put it there is clearly not from this planet, it's the Sky every goal matters poster and it's got various pictures of players scoring goals and the massive picture in the centre happens to be Rudi Skacel scoring for Hearts.....I'll try get a link, if you imagine Easter Road, adjacent to the club shop then a massive poster of Rudi Skacel advertising Sky Sports HD.....

Half way down this link is the pic on display, apparently it's all around Edinburgh but the one at ER takes the biscuit

It's Rudi Skacel advertising the Scottish Cup, now if you don't like it I'd suggest trying to help Hibs win the bloody thing

That's fine in theory, but if you look at the current coefficient standings it's almost impossible for us to actually gain (or lose) a European spot after losing the spot we had this season. We were 15th, thanks to a sustained period of overachieving, we're now scheduled to be 27th, over 12 points behind 15th place (which is the point at which you gain an extra spot). For comparison, the whole of the Premier League, Champions League winner and all, gained 15 points for last season. It's not an exaggeration to say that there is no realistic chance, whatsoever, of the SPL gaining a European spot over at least the next five years.

There's also no chance of losing one from next season on because we'd have to be ranked as one of the two worst leagues in Europe for that to happen (i.e. be worse than Andorra or San Marino). We're basically in a coefficient no man's land where we can neither lose a place nor gain one - all it affects is the round in which teams will enter the competition.

What's all this about Mike Ashley forming a partnership and buying 10% of Rangers?

Edit - looks like he's buying 10% to hawk Sports Direct on the shirts and around the stadium

Cheap as chips investment for him, knock down price Sports Direct shirt sponsorship. Though £1.25m for 10% values Rangers, a lower tier club with no hope of Europe for at least 3 seasons at £125,000,000!!

Would that not make it £12.5m?

According to the BBC JJB agreed a deal with Rangers (IL) until 2016 back in 2006.

Given Green's opinions on TUPE that the players had no open but to sign for The Rangers I presume he feels the same way about that contract and that The Rangers will have to honour it?

Bring on the Dons at Cappielow, revenge for that 3-7 game in 96

Yep!

My late night maths. This is why I lost my job as Chief Financial Officer of Rangers

The Rangers home to Falkirk in 2nd Round of league cup. The inevitable old firm draw for the third round no doubt

For every £5 they spend we will spend £100

If we make it past Falkirk. And even then I would prefer to wait till a later round

OH BOLLOX

dundee utd got WHIPPED in moscow ..... 5 NIL!!!!!
