Michael Stewart’s verdict on the Celtic financial reality and potential summer budget

Under Brendan Rodgers, Celtic should have a lot of weapons going into the summer transfer window.

With a guaranteed four home games and four away games in the new Champions League format, the Scottish Premiership

Rodgers has a lot to think about in terms of where he could improve his team; in the meanwhile,

cutting marginal players will probably free up salary spending to reinvest in possible newcomers.

The Bhoys are currently financially stable, but supporters would like to see a change in the amount that

Celtic is often willing to pay in order to acquire players from other teams.

In any case, the supporters have exciting days ahead of them as they continue to show no indications of

letting their unquenchable desire for victory on all fronts wain. Pundit Michael Stewart has now voiced his

opinions about potential hiring deals at Parkhead.

Michael Stewart’s assessment of Celtic’s summertime acquisitions

Stewart, who was speaking on the Scottish Football Podcast, feels that Celtic should be using their

“ludicrous” sum of money to help Rodgers bolster his team.

The analyst further said that this is only going to increase significantly as the months pass at Parkhead,

citing the club’s net expenditure.

First, he clarified, saying of Celtic’s support for Rodgers in the window, “They’ve got to (back Rodgers in the market)

“They still spent more than £20 million in the summer, despite the rough numbers.” £20 million,

and I’m sure most people would ask where that has affected the team because there hasn’t been anything,

but even with that £20 million—and that’s not just for the summer because they signed Kuhn for less than

£3 million in January—that’s throughout the whole season.

“They have spent somewhat more than £20 million this season, but it is barely half of what they have made from player sales.

Their net expenditure is less than £20 million, and that is only before accounting for the

“Now that I know transfer fees, they have a ton of cash in addition to the over £70 million that is sitting in the bank.

The point is that, as we all know, the Champions League this season is awash in cash, and this team has an absurd amount of money to spend.

Celtic should have a thrilling summer ahead of them.

Celtic will break for the summer after the Scottish Cup final this coming weekend.

Fans should expect an entertaining summer, but they shouldn’t talk too soon.

Although it’s possible that one or two unexpected player sales will occur, Parkhead’s business strategy is to

cultivate talent and then sell it for a significant profit, so this is not likely to alter very soon.

In any case, there might be some extremely interesting arrivals before 2024–2025 if Rodgers gets what he wants.
