Our man questions the absence of transfer activity, but he has a figure for the four games that will add to the millions in the bank.

I’ve heard that the four-game Champions League ticket package for Celtic fans will cost £200 per person.

Complete enrollment would result in an astounding £11.6 million in revenue being added to the club’s already staggering bank account balances amid a period of unheard-of financial expansion for Celtic. It appears that the only thing standing in Brendan Rodgers’ team’s way of capturing a fourth straight league championship is poor management and direction.

You have to consider the challenges that the team on the other side of the city, across the street, is currently facing. There isn’t any similar disparity in the Champions League. In that setting, only teams of recognizable caliber make it. The playing tools needed for Celtic to go into that competition with any other feeling than apprehension are still glaringly lacking.

The wealth providers in the ticket purchasing department are perplexed as to why that is the case. Celtic is sluggish to help themselves, and the Lord and FIFA support those who do the same. When it comes to incoming transfers, Rodgers keeps a diplomatic posture. Michael Nicholson, the CEO, has vowed to remain silent, much like a Trappist monk.

He will speak again during the club’s annual general meeting for shareholders, which is when he did so last year. One of the biggest entertainment industry gatherings of the year is usually this one. Answer a serious question from the floor with a joke about penalty kicks and Rangers. Comedy gold. However, if Nicholson doesn’t show up before the current transfer window ends at the end of this month, he might face more intense questioning when he returns.

Although it was absurd to take almost three months to sign Norwich City’s loan striker Adam Idah permanently, the joke is becoming old for the paying patrons.

It was a pivotal moment when Celtic informed the stock market that they were in better shape than they had believed due to a great finish to the previous season, which had generated higher revenue than “previous expectations.” Did the board fail to see the possibility of a league and cup double? I believe that if they invested in the team’s improvement instead of doing nothing, their expectations would grow.
