CELTIC released their six month interim report this afternoon and it makes for impressive reading!

Revenue is up! Profit is up! In Europe beyond Christmas. It’s been a great six months for the club. These reports don’t take into account any January transfer business, nor will it show our cut of the Virgil van Dijk record transfer.

  1. Important to note the headline is innacurate in its wording.
    The tribute club at Ibrokes has not obtained an overdraft but a short term loan secured loan at punitive rates of interest from a lender of last resort on an adjacent crumbling building and a key car park whose availability is tied into the stadium safety certificate as an emergency evacuation musterpoint
    More debt piling up as Dave King moves towards the financial version of death row with the takeover panel.
    No happy ending for the forces of darkness here
