Celtic On Brink of €10m Euro Windfall

Celtic confirmed themselves as group winners against Rennes on Thursday night with a 3-1 win at Celtic Park.

The bhoys managed very well without Odsonne Edouard and their two first choice full-backs.

The bhoys made light work of the French side and bagged another 3 points, taking their tally to 13/15.

There was a cloud over the club this season after Cluj put the club out of the Champions League at the start of the season. But the team have turned things around with their outstanding results in a group many worried the team could struggle against.

Being in the Europa League earns you money but winning earns you even more and right now Celtic have four large pay cheques for their wins and one for their draw.

Between qualifiers in the Champions League and their participation in the Europa – Celtic have bagged just under €10m. A win against Cluj would tip that to over. This doesn’t include gate receipts.
