A pre-tax profit of £180,000 was recorded.   Any profit in current circumstances is worthwhile, although this figure is down from £7m in the same period of 2010..  The restoration of the club to the Europa League competition boosted turnover by just under £1m.


Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell has insisted that the prospect of rivals Rangers going into administration ‘or worse’ would have no financial impact on Celtic.
