Celtic Plc share price is soaring so no excuses Mr Desmond, squad investment is needed

Celtic Plc’s Share price is soaring and that’s good news especially for our largest shareholder Dermot Desmond, but supporters don’t care about that. We want to see investment in the team and Brendan Rodgers deserves to be properly backed…

The Celtic share price has risen to £192.00 the biggest figure it’s been at since December 2000 when it sat at £188.39p. Without going in to all the stock market jargon, it’s plainly obvious that this is good news for the club in a financial sense, and further proves that we are as formidable off the park as on it.

While that is good news for our financial stability, it means nothing if we don’t use our financial resources to further strengthen our position on the park.

The share price, just like the record turnover and record transfer fees might be a big deal to the money men behind the scenes, but it means absolute zilch to me and you, the ordinary every day supporter.

We all contribute to the clubs healthy finances, whether it be through purchasing season tickets or merchandise, we do more than our bit. The club are nothing without the supporters and we deserve to be rewarded.

That reward should be investment on the park. it’s all good having pretty balance sheets, but we want to see beautiful continuous success on the field, and the only way to achieve that is to make a healthy investment on the player front and give Brendan Rodgers the backing that he deserves.

Celtic is back in action this evening and there’s no replacement for Joe Hart and not a single signing confirmed in the summer window so far. In January we were told that it was a frustrating window, work was done but clubs wouldn’t sell blah blah blah, but we’d get jam in the summer.

The Champions League is an opportunity that needs a stronger Celtic squad of we are to restore our credibility on the continental stage. The money is there. You are going to sell Matt O’Riley if you get the asking price met, for heaven’s sake what are you waiting for. Scott Bain in goals this evening, and no offence to him, is symbolic of the lack of ambition that is apparent at the money making machine we call Celtic.

Aye, no wonder the share price is rocketing.
