    In what way was he a threat to them? Without checking I’m guessing they finished about 40/50 points ahead of Dundee and probably beat them every time they played them?

    Ok, I'll rephrase that. He probably played well every time they played Celtic so they signed hm.

    Rather annoying article here, albeit the bits explaining the split of the money are quite interesting:

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45190227

    The whole tone is that Celtic have 'lost' money - which is nonsense. Obviously going out has prevented them from earning a lot more, but they haven't lost money as they aren't worse of than they were yesterday. This line in particular bugged me:

    "That is £11m gone already. But the haemorrhaging does not stop there."

    Haemorrhaging?! They're ****ing minted.

    Also, what's the issue here? It should be about them missing out on the prestige and huge games that come with the group stages, had they got there - why does the extra money not coming in matter? In European terms, they had lots of revenue from the CL group stages in the last two years, and haven't used it to try and be more competitive in the tournament. In Scottish terms, they still have way more money than the rest of the teams put together and multiplied several times over, so no real problems there.

    Means we’ll get a reduced payment from UEFA too, although we’ve done quite well ourselves
    Anyone remember what we got last season from UEFA

    Bit misleading if you wanted to bet large on Dundee utd thinking they were playing against a colts team when in actual fact they are playing there colts also
