Keith Wyness: Celtic ‘dominance over Rangers is assured’ following new London development, considering that…

Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, the 66-year-old, who served as CEO at Aberdeen between 2000 and 2004, had lengthy spells as the chief of Everton and Aston Villa, and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs, claimed the price reflects “very good” financial results expected to emerge from Parkhead for the 2023-24 season. Celtic’s stock price reached 192p on the London Stock Exchange last week, the highest since November 2000, when Martin O’Neill was in charge. The Hoops won the Scottish Premiership last season and will now compete in the league phase of the new Champions League, which is estimated to earn them at least £30 million.

Celtic asserts ‘dominance’ over Rangers following share price rises, claims Wyness.

However, Wyness argued that fans want to see “money on the pitch, rather than in the bank”. He told Football Insider’s Insider Track podcast: “We’d have to go back to Martin O’Neill’s time when it was that high.” “It’s a significant figure and a visually appealing graph for Celtic shareholders. It represents the expectation that this fiscal year will produce some really good results. “However, supporters do not want to see that. They prefer money on the pitch rather than in the bank. Nonetheless, it demonstrates Celtic’s solidity. They’ve won the league, progressed, and are now in Europe; there’s a lot to enjoy.
