Rangers and Celtic feature of positive representations in the UEFA financial report | Football news
Rangers and Celtics have shown growth among the best clubs in Europe in a new financial report issued by UEFA, which also reveals that Scotland has experienced positive movement in numerous areas.
The Financing and Investment Landscape Report of UEFA, published on Thursday, was marked as “Ultimate Guide for European Football Finance” in the preface to President UEFA President Alexander Ceferin.
And he discovered some positive results for both sides of the old company, with Celtics among the top 20 clubs in Europe for a set and sale sales, and in the first 10 for profits before taxation listed among the continent clubs.
In the meantime, the Rangers are among the top 20 clubs in Europe due to door revenue until 2024, and the club has had a significant 47 percent increase in this type of revenue in the last five years.
Scottish clubs as a whole also enjoyed growth in areas, including TV incomes, receipts and total revenue.
Celt on the largest profit list before tax
Celtic is among the top 10 clubs in Europe regarding the highest profit before taxation recorded in 2024.
The Parkhead Club recorded a profit prior to the taxation of EUR 21 million (€ 17.6 million) for 2024, which represents a decline from the figure of 2023. Of € 47 million (£ 39.3 million), but Celtic is still on the seventh list on the list, together with last year’s Europa League winner.
Bayern Munich leads the way to this list, recording a profit before taxation of € 63 million (£ 52.7 million) for a calendar year, one of the four sides of the Bundesliga in the top 10.
The Celtics model of strong trafficking in the player is undoubtedly a factor of their healthy financial data for 2024, with campaigns for the Champions League champions and the sale of players like Matt O’riley, whose summer move to Brighton has set a new record of the Scottish Club, which was previously £ 25 million after Jota from Celt.
Renjers in the Top 20 for a doors revenue
Rangers are among the top 20 clubs in Europe due to door revenue over the last year, with the number generated in 2024. Reached € 53 million (£ 44.4 million), as well as Bundesliga Giants Borussia Dortmund.
They would have some ways to match the best realm of Real Madrid in the amount of EUR 185 million (£ 155m), but the figures are impressive, and UEFA reported 11 percent of the door revenue in 2024 in Europe.
Although they actually lowered the place on the UEFA list to 19, this figure represents a significant jump compared to the number of EUR 36 million in 2019, an increase of 47 percent. Indeed, in 2014, Rangers recorded a door revenue of € 15 million (£ 12.6 million), and the last decade has shown a great increase.
During the five -year period of time, the Renjers continued to re -establish themselves as a force in Europe, and former manager Steven Gerrard took the club to the Europa Championship phase in its first season in 2018.
Since then, the Rangers have been regularly secured in the latest stages of European competition, from 2022 to the Europa League final in Seville under Giovanni Van Bronckhorst undoubtedly playing participating in watching ticket revenue in the last five years, with additional matches at Ibrox to increase.
From Europe away, the Rangers have sought to increase the capacity of the stadium, improve catering experiences and have consistently sold out the distribution of seasonal tickets over the past decade. The construction of New Edmiston House, which holds the Rangers Museum, the club trade and hosts the fanzone at the match, will also play a role in increasing the door revenue through the season.
The UEFA report says: “The doors’ revenues are still growing, with general crowds increasing six percent at the pandemic level and premium sitting tickets. Dutch, Swiss, Belgian and Scottish clubs are the next largest recipients outside the big five leagues.
“Clubs with headquarters in larger cities have higher basic and premium ticket prices, reflected on the fee in the fan just above or below € 100 (£ 83.72) in five clubs.”
Kelt in the Top 20 in Europe for the sale of sets
Celtic also sat in the first 20th across Europe due to revenue from kits and trading, and the club recorded a revenue of € 35 million (£ 29.3 million) in this department for 2024.
Again, Celtic recorded strong growth over the five -year period since 2019, and since then it has been a jump of € 14 million (£ 11.7 million) in a set and commercial revenues since then.
The continuation of domestic success and the beginning of a five -year Kit Agreement with Adidas 2020 will undoubtedly help strengthen these figures.
Real Madrid are ahead of all on the list, and the revenue of 2024 and the revenue from the goods was sitting in the amount of EUR 196 million (£ 164 million), and Celtic sat 17 in the top 20, just behind both clubs in Milan, with that figure of € 35 million (£ 29.3 million) 24 percent for the club’s total revenue for a year.
The UEFA report says: “Clubs are increasingly benefited than their global fan bases and a larger commercial focus. For the first 20, the revenues of trading increased by 26 percent and agreed six percent in 2024 to reach the combined 1.8 billion euros (1.5 billion).”
Scotland sees a positive increase in TV revenue revenue
Scotland as a whole also saw some positive results at the age of 2024.
Domestic revenues from TV recorded an increase of 20 percent on figures 2022, and a total of € 32 million (£ 26.8 million) placed 16th in Scotland.
The total revenue of the country for clubs in the amount of EUR 357 million (£ 299 million) is an increase of 14 percent, which made Scotland on the entire continent to 11th.
Scotland was also seventh in terms of door receipts, with € 130 million (£ 109 million) throughout 2024. Providing an increase of 4.3 percent compared to 2022, and the Scottish clubs showed a total net capital of € 269 million (£ 225.2 million), with only two clubs had negative capital.
The country ranked No1 throughout Europe in one field, with 100 percent privately owned clubs.
