Happy Buddie Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 RANGERS have been told it will take at least a decade to challenge Celtic as the most valuable brand in Scottish football. The Premiership champs have climbed to 37th in the top 50 brands in world football, ahead of clubs such as Benfica, Sevilla, PSV Eindhoven, Besiktas and Santos. Fallen giants Rangers are still in such turmoil off the field that analysts from Brand Finance were unable to even create a rating for them. Celtic have been given a brand value of £50million by the company, one of the world’s leading valuation and strategy consultancies, up from £36m in 2013 when they were ranked 44th in the world. Spokesman Robert Haigh said: “We just can’t create an accurate brand value for Rangers at this time. “However, the club’s progress though the lower leagues is encouraging. “Provided it can establish a solid, scandal-free, financial footing and return to the top flight, they could be challenging for the title of Scotland’s most valuable brand within the decade.” Brand Finance take a range of economic and football factors into account before awarding clubs credit ratings from AAA+ to D. Celtic were rated AA+, up from AA- last year, after revenues, squad value, UEFA co-efficient, honours and average attendance were taken into account. The figures were boosted by Celtic’s march into the last 16 of the Champions League a year ago but Brand Finance feel they may have reached a ceiling unless they can move to England. Haigh added: “Champions League football took annual revenues from £50m to £75m and boosted the club’s image internationally. “The 125th anniversary also led to enhanced sales of merchandise and breaking away from the unified shirt sponsorship deal with Rangers has given Celtic freedom to pursue more lucrative individual deals. “Even so, the £1.5m Magners is currently paying is arguably underpriced. “However, without Rangers in the SPL, Celtic have no serious competition, making the league a much less enticing prospect and limiting TV revenues. “Celtic could, therefore, get a boost when Rangers return in a year or two. “Nevertheless, all Scottish clubs are limited by the size and scale of the league and so Celtic could never become a top-10 brand without a move to the Premier League.” As expected, clubs from Europe’s Big Five nations dominate the rankings, with five English clubs in the top 10 alone. Bayern Munich have retained the title as the most lucrative brand, worth £533m, ahead of European champions Real Madrid on £457m. Manchester United are third on £440m ahead of Barcelona on £370m.

And they're expecting Rangers to give Celtic "serious competition" when they get to the top tier? Not at the rate they're spunking money just to get there in the first place... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA: Anybody fancy a guess at the street where this dig was taking place? just off the Stonebow.

bennett Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I think you'd look long and hard to find me, or anyone, saying that I have any kind of superior intellect. Posts suggesting that you may be stupid, on the other hand.... You're far too modest Norman, though you may have to battle it out with the QC for the superior intellect title. -7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) will they call it Hungate House? In a stunning display of originality, Hungate Apartments. Pfft, in my day they were called flats.* They also reckon having the Foss run nearby makes it a "private nature reserve". Fair enough, if Morrison's trolleys are counted as amphibians, I suppose. * In fact, in my day, "Studio apartments" were called bedsits.

youngsy Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 How, were you there? You seem to have been everywhere when something happened. Are you ok? Just for your information the reason i asked was that Bill McMurdo senior was George Bests' agent for a period of time. Does that help you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
