Celtic ranked in UEFA's top 10 most profitable clubs

Celtic have been named among Europe's top 10 most profitable clubs.

That's according to UEFA's European Club Finance and Investment Landscape Report published on Thursday.

The report is described as the "ultimate guide to the European football finances" by UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin.

It makes good reading for those associated with the Scottish Premiership champions in terms of their pre-tax profits.

They were ranked inside the top 10 for this category alongside the likes of Bayern Munich, who lead the way, and Atalanta who they share seventh spot with.

Their pre-tax profit posted for 2024 stood at £17.6m.

While this was a considerable drop off from 2023, which was an eye-watering £39.3m, it was still enough for the Hoops to gain UEFA recognition.

Factors such as the sales of Jota to Al-Ittihad and Matt O'Riley to Brighton for £25m each contributed to such huge profits for the club. 

Meanwhile, back-to-back Champions League campaigns also proved to be a major difference-maker for Brendan Rodgers' side.

Rangers were also ranked highly in the report. The Ibrox club made the top 20 for gate revenue in Europe.
