Celtic Secures Stunning £75m Windfall as Rangers Left in the Dust!
Celtic currently holds over £75 million more in cash reserves compared to Rangers, underscoring the widening financial gap between the two Old Firm rivals. Recent financial disclosures revealed that Rangers have a cash balance of £1.7 million at Ibrox, with their core revenue rising to a record £88.3 million. However, this pales in comparison to Celtic’s impressive revenue of £124.6 million for the year.
While Rangers reported a net loss of £17.2 million, Celtic posted a healthy profit of £13.3 million. Both clubs faced challenges in the transfer market, with Rangers experiencing an £8 million loss on player transactions, while Celtic recorded a £4.9 million deficit. Despite cost-cutting measures leading to a reduced wage bill at Rangers, Celtic increased theirs by £4.8 million to a total of £65.6 million.
As Celtic celebrated success in the Scottish Premiership and Scottish Cup, Rangers struggled under Philippe Clement, who failed to secure a Champions League spot after their defeat in the qualifying rounds. The chances of a Champions League return for Rangers appear slim, as they currently sit nine points behind Celtic and Aberdeen in the league standings.
Orioles Star Corbin Burnes Shakes Up Offseason: Chooses Free Agency, While Boston’s Lucas Giolito Stays Put!
Corbin Burnes, a right-handed pitcher, had a strong first season with the Baltimore Orioles, finishing with a record of 15-9 and an impressive 2.92 ERA across 32 games. This year marked his debut with the Orioles after being traded from the Milwaukee Brewers, where he won the National League Cy Young Award in 2021. Alongside him, outfielder Anthony Santander had a productive season in 2024, hitting .235 while belting 44 home runs and driving in 102 runs.
In addition to Burnes and Santander, several other players opted for free agency, including right-hander Brooks Kriske, left-hander John Means, catcher James McCann, and outfielder Austin Slater. The Boston Red Sox announced that right-handed pitcher Lucas Giolito has exercised his player option worth $19 million for the 2025 season. This decision was anticipated following Giolito’s March surgery on his pitching elbow, which kept him from playing during his first season with the Red Sox after signing a two-year, $38.5 million contract.
Meanwhile, the Chicago White Sox decided not to exercise their 2025 option on infielder Yoan Moncada, allowing him to enter free agency. Moncada, who had previously signed a five-year, $70 million contract extension, struggled with injuries, limiting his appearances in recent seasons. In addition, the St. Louis Cardinals announced that they would not be exercising their options on right-handed pitchers Kyle Gibson, Lance Lynn, and Keynan Middleton, further reshaping their roster for the upcoming year.
Key Decisions Ahead: Sheffield Wednesday’s Energized XI Poised for Watford Showdown!
Injuries have certainly impacted the team, with several players sidelined due to various ailments. However, Röhl has emphasized his intention to rotate the squad regularly to keep the players fresh during this busy period. After the penalty shootout loss to Brentford, he highlighted the importance of managing minutes for players like Dom Iorfa and Dish Bernard, stating that they were not meant to play the full 90 minutes. He praised Liam Palmer for bringing composure to the midfield, enabling the team to have positive moments with the ball. With the ability to substitute three players and introduce fresh legs, Röhl is now fully focused on the challenge posed by Watford, recognizing that a demanding week lies ahead.
From Derby to Stoke: My Bold Move and the Real Reasons Behind It
Having managed both Stoke City and Derby County, I’m no stranger to either club. I’ve discussed my move from Derby’s Pride Park to Stoke’s Bet365 Stadium before, but sometimes you need to reevaluate where you stand professionally and make the best decision for your career. At Derby, we narrowly missed out on the playoffs, and I was incredibly eager to build on that success. I understood the need to reduce the squad’s age, improve athleticism, and probably lower the budget. I was ready to take on these challenges, but in some key discussions, it felt like we weren’t fully aligned on a forward-thinking plan.
Ultimately, it was a tough call, and I often discuss it with Derby fans, who I still encounter regularly. Most understand; they know what it’s like to face career decisions in their own lives. If Derby had been committed to a concrete plan to reach the top six again, I’d have stayed. I came to Derby to pursue promotion, and in my first full season, we reached the playoffs but fell short in the semifinals.
Reflecting on my time at Stoke, I remember reaching a point where we were just three points shy of the top six. It was frustrating to work so hard and face so many challenges. In hindsight, I let my frustration show, especially in post-game comments. If I had paused to consider what the club and fans had endured since relegation from the Premier League, I might have fostered more unity and adjusted my approach.
Why This Derby County Star Will Be Crucial for Stoke City – and Why I Don’t Regret Letting Him Go
Gary Rowett previews the Stoke City versus Derby County match this weekend, noting both teams’ current form and tactical strengths. Derby has improved their away form recently, gaining confidence, though they need to turn those draws into wins. Stoke, meanwhile, has shown inconsistency, creating an opportunity for Derby, especially as they bring their strong wing play and set-piece advantages. Rowett points out that while Derby’s use of wide wingers allows them to bypass a crowded midfield, Stoke leans heavily on central play. Key players like Eiran Cashin, whose defensive abilities and tactical awareness will be crucial in containing Stoke’s Tom Cannon, could make all the difference in a tightly competitive game.
Jay Matete: Sunderland Talent Ignites Fresh Start at Bolton Wanderers
Jay Matete is finding his rhythm at Bolton Wanderers after a challenging year limited by injuries at Sunderland and Oxford. Determined to prove himself, he’s already showing his value on the pitch with consistent, confident performances. “I didn’t play much last year because of injuries, but now I feel like I’m getting into it,” Matete shared. Building momentum, he’s enjoying forming a promising partnership with Josh Sheehan, whose experience he admires. As Bolton pushes forward, Matete remains optimistic about their potential, confident that a hungry and united dressing room can take them to new heights this season.
