As a result of Celtic failing to reach the Champions League group stages.
I'll take that any day of the week. I never saw it as anything to celebrate seeing Celtic qualify for the Champions League and net £30M+ every year and therefore increase the gap between them and everyone else increase all the more. The fact they have failed to do so this year is reason enough to be pleased tonight, in my opinion of course :)
Your'e right LSM. Champions League Money is ridiculous and does great harm to the game as a whole. It just perpetuates inequality. The fact that they won't be collecting such a huge sum of cash this season will make a virtually impossible task for Scots teams, of competing with them, just very very slightly easier.Quote:

With the state of Scottish football in general at an all time low,I’m sure Livingston who have just had to give up their development squad due to costs would like ourselves and similar teams would have been grateful for the money. IMO if the season continues in the same vein for us as it has begun then it might be a long time before we are eligible for any more payouts s
Just can't hide that love for The Sevco can you? ;DQuote:
