We've filled that gap by selling players' http://www.celticfc.tv/freeview?video=1778 Oh really Peter?, I thought you said you don't need Rangers? Celtic don't need Rangers, says Peter Lawwell By Chris McLaughlin Senior Football Reporter, BBC Scotland Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell insists his club "don't need Rangers" to flourish financially. Rangers are awaiting the verdict of a long-running tax case that could place the future of the Ibrox club in doubt. But Lawwell says the eventuality of their Old Firm rivals going bust "would have no material effect on Celtic". "We look after ourselves," Lawwell told BBC Scotland. "We don't rely on any other club. We are in a decent position, we're very strong." http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/17013512 Edited August 29, 2014 by ian1964 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 They've sold off all their assets and as a result have lost nearly £20m in CL money and are now inferior to Polish and Slovenian teams. We did similar. This current Celtic squad is the worst since the early 90's. They will get horsed in the Europa too. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,258 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 You couldn't make this up could you? Without Rangers and the money they bring to the top division they've had to sell off all their best players and get put out the CL qualifying rounds not once but twice by second rate opposition. For the past two years they've been playing to half empty home crowds and no one thinks to wonder if that is costing them money. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
