🎙️ TC: I'm aware of what I have signed up to, a massive club and with that comes massive pressure which I can't wait for.
I have always been someone that wants to win and that is embedded in Rangers.

🎙️ TC: Sometimes in life you need a fresh start. Norwich is a club I hold really close to my heart.
When I spoke to Ross and the manager it was clear this was the club for me.
The manager spoke in such detail about what he wanted from me. As a player, you want this clarity.

Thread on how much money clubs have already received after the Champions League 2022/23 group stage. Also includes estimates for English clubs in Europa League and Europa Conference League. Some assumptions made about the TV pool, but the figures should be reasonably accurate.
The Champions League accounts for the lion’s share of UEFA revenue with its €2.032 bln being nearly 3 times as much as the Europa League and Europa Conference combined (€700m). The difference is particularly stark in the UEFA coefficient (based on 10-year rankings).
Champions League overall prize money is 3.6 times the Europa League and 5.5 times the Europa Conference, but this varies by round. In general, the difference becomes smaller the further a club progresses, e.g. last 16 it’s 8x and 16x, while for the winners it’s only 2.3x and 4x.
A few people have asked how much #RangersFC earned for reaching the Europa League final. My estimate is £17m (€19.3m) TV money. Would have got another €4m if they had won the final.
This compare to #CelticFC £9m (€10.5m) for group stage plus Conference League knockout round.
This compare to #CelticFC £9m (€10.5m) for group stage plus Conference League knockout round.
#CelticFC earnings boosted by having a higher UEFA coefficient payment (€3.4m) than #RangersFC (€0.9m), as they are ranked higher based on performances in UEFA tournaments over the last 10 years (Celtic 38th vs Rangers 98th). Figures will be updated after this season.
In addition, both clubs' revenue will include money for additional gate receipts and bonuses in commercial deals, partially offset by higher variable compensation for players and other staff.
UEFA has published the revenue distributions for the Champions League and Europa League in the 2020/21 season. Although these are very close to the modelled figures that I have previously provided, I thought some people might like to have the final, official figures.
After UEFA’s ruling that no Russian clubs will participate in its competitions until further notice, it is now certain that the winners of the Scottish Premiership will qualify automatically for the group stage of the Champions League without having to go through a play-off.
As Celtic realistically only need three points to secure the title (given their vastly superior goal difference), it looks likely that they will take Scotland’s Champions League place, so I thought it would be interesting to estimate how much this might be worth #CelticFC
#CelticFC have received £133m from Europe in TV distributions from UEFA in the last 10 years, but the difference between earnings from the Champions League (£92m in 4 years) and the Europa League (£41m in 6 years) is stark.
#RangersFC 2020/21 accounts cover a year of “unprecedented challenges” due to COVID, though they won the league for the first time in a decade, staying unbeaten in the process, and reached the quarter-finals of both domestic cup competitions and the last 16 of the Europa League.
#RangersFC pre-tax loss widened from £17.8m to £24.7m (£24.2m after tax), as revenue fell £11.3m (19%) from £59.0m to £47.7m, partly offset by increases in other income, up £1.4m to £3.4m, and profit on player sales, up £1.0m to £1.7m, while expenses were down £2.3m (3%).
#RangersFC revenue decrease was driven by match day, which dropped £17.5m (49%) from £35.7m to £18.2m, though there was growth in broadcasting, which rose £5.3m (39%) from £13.5m to £18.9m, and commercial, up £0.9m (9%) from £9.8m to £10.7m.

Now that all the clubs in the Scottish Premiership have finally published their accounts for the 2019/20 season, here is an overview of their financials, which were adversely impacted by the season’s early closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic #spfl
Most Scottish Premiership clubs aim for break-even with 5 making small profits, led by Hearts £0.5m and Motherwell £0.3m. #RangersFC £17.5m post-tax loss is the big outlier, especially compared to #CelticFC £0.4m deficit, largely due to their recent investment in the squad.
However, it is worth noting that #CelticFC were boosted by £24m profit from player sales, largely due to Kieran Tierney’s move to Arsenal, which was significantly higher than other Scottish clubs. The next highest were Kilmarnock £1.2m, Motherwell £1.0m and #RangersFC £0.7m.

Today is the 50th Anniversary of the 1971 Ibrox Disaster in Glasgow. Here's the memorial to the 66 people killed in the crush on stairway 13. It also remembers the Ibrox disasters of 1902 (25 people) and 1961 (2 people). The figure is John Grieg, captain in 1971. #RangersFC
2/4 It was the Rangers v Celtic Old Firm derby. The disaster on Stairway 13 happened as Rangers equalised in the final minutes, the poor safety standards causing a crush and stampede. The ground has largely been rebuilt, but even today Ibrox Stadium has no exit 13.
3/4 My own footballing sympathies are for Celtic rather than for Rangers, but Ibrox Stadium is by far the more impressive of the two grounds, and one of the most impressive in Britain. The 1928 frontage of the main stand by Archibald Leitch, remodelled 1992, is unforgettable.
#RangersFC 2019/20 financial results cover a season when Scottish football was ended early in March due to COVID-19, though they were awarded second place in the Premiership based on average points. They also reached the last 16 of the Europa League. Some thoughts follow.
#RangersFC pre-tax loss widened from £11.4m to £17.8m, despite revenue rising £5.9m (11%) to £59.0m, though profit on player sales fell £2.4m to £0.7m. This was due to £11.5m (18%) increase in operating expenses, as the club invested in the first team. After tax loss was £17.5m.
The main driver of #RangersFC revenue increase was the Europa League, which was worth £20.7m compared to £14.3m prior year. This led to growth in gate receipts, up £3.7m (12%) to £35.7m, and broadcasting, up £2.6m (24%) to £13.5m. Commercial fell £0.5m (5%) to £9.8m.
Get ready. Champions League and Europa League match dates and RO16 venues will be announced in just under an hour. #mufc #mcfc #cfc #wolves #RangersFC
All Champions League and Europa League RO16 games will be played without fans at the home club.
But here's a big development. UEFA decides ALL one legged qualifiers for 2020-21 will be behind closed doors regardless of how the situation develops in individual countries.

I had a few requests to prepare some more financial fact sheets for: (a) the two major Scottish clubs, namely Celtic and Rangers; (b) and Swansea City. Hope you find them useful #CelticFC #RangersFC #Swans
#CelticFC have been profitable for the last 4 years, helped by good profits from player sales. Revenue fell in 2019, due to not qualifying for Champions League group stage. Low debt, high cash balance, declining net transfer spend. Highest revenue, wages and profit in Scotland.
#RangersFC have lost money in last 5 years, partly due to low profits from player sales. However, revenue has more than tripled since 2015, driven by improved performance in Europe. Largest loss, debt and transfer spend in Scotland in 2019. Wages up to £34m (65% of turnover).
Thanks to my good chum @BillRockSport for pointing me to the publication of #DundeeFC accounts yesterday. Income up 12.5% in what was a fairly good season for most Scottish clubs, whose total income of other 8 who've reported was less than that of #CelticFC
Main cost for clubs is wages & #DundeeFC had 7.4% increase. Paying £78 wages for every £100 of income. Speaking to @Deloitte recently & they said UEFA is concerned at any club where wages/income is greater than 70% so all clubs in SFL okay apart from Dundee & #RangersFC
#DundeeFC made losses of £18,000 a week last season pre player sales, which reduced losses by £530k. Most clubs lose money in SPFL & rely on owners and occasional player sales to underwrite the losses
Rangers income up 82% in first half of season due to 7 extra Europa Cup games, Celtic income down 30% due to not qualifying for Champions League. Gap narrowed from £52.1m to £14.7m #RangersFC #CelticFC
Rangers profit increased by £4.5m & Celtic's fell by £17.5m July-Dec 2018 due to UEFA competition issues mentioned above. Gap fell from £24.8m to £2.8m. Expect Rangers profit to fall in second half of year as no UEFA income. #RangersFC #CelticFC
Rangers profit from player sales up £1.2m to £3.8m. Sale of Dembele meant Celtic's profit on player sales up from £0.5m to £17.6m. #RangersFC #CelticFC
#RangersFC recently published 2017/18 financial results, covering a season when they finished 3rd in the SPFL Premiership and reached the semi-final of both domestic cups, but crashed out of the Europe League in the 1st qualifying round. Some thoughts in the following thread.
#RangersFC pre-tax loss doubled for the second year in a row from £6.8m to £14.4m, despite revenue rising £3.4m (12%) to £32.7m and £1.2m profit on player sales compared to a £0.4m loss in the prior year. This was due to high cost growth, as the club invested in the first team.
All three #RangersFC revenue streams were up. Gate receipts and hospitality grew £1.4m (6%) to £23.0m; commercial increased by £1.3m (34%) to £5.3m; and broadcasting was £0.7m (20%) higher at £4.4m. Also no repeat of £3m 16/17 payment to terminate Sports Direct retail agreement.
