“Rangers fans will not be HAPPY about this” Celtic told they’ve LANDED a Champions League UPGRADE as Rangers warned over possible UEFA PUNISHMENT

Celtic’s Champions League Upgrade and Rangers’ UEFA Warning

Scottish champions Celtic are in scintillating form, dominating domestically and excelling in Europe. Pundit Michael Stewart credits Celtic’s astute summer transfers for their European success.

Summer Signings

Brendan Rodgers brought in eight new recruits, with Stewart highlighting Auston Trusty as the standout addition. Trusty’s defensive qualities and versatility have elevated Celtic’s European hopes.

“Auston Trusty has been outstanding,” Stewart told the Scottish Football Social Club. “He’s predominantly left-sided but comfortable on the right-hand side. His athleticism suits Celtic’s side and will help them in Europe.”

Trusty’s Impact

Trusty has started 10 league matches, winning eight and keeping five clean sheets. His memorable victory over RB Leipzig in Europe has cemented his place in the team.

Rangers’ Financial Concerns

Meanwhile, Rangers face potential UEFA punishment due to their £17.2m pre-tax loss. Football expert Dan Plumley warns Rangers are nearing UEFA’s Financial Fair Play rules.

“Rangers must control their outgoing costs,” Plumley told Ibrox News. “UEFA’s updated guidelines require clubs to limit player wages and amortization to 70% of revenue by 2025-26.”

UEFA’s Financial Fair Play Rules

UEFA allows clubs to amortize transfer fees over five years. Breaching FFP rules may result in fines, withheld prize money, transfer bans, or disqualification from European competitions.

Plumley emphasized, “Rangers must be mindful of their costs to avoid penalties.”

Celtic’s European Ambitions

Celtic’s summer signings have revitalized their European ambitions. Trusty’s partnership with Liam Scales has solidified their defense.

Stewart praised Scales, saying, “He’s done brilliant, and you’d have no qualms about him playing.”

Celtic’s Domestic Dominance

Celtic’s near-perfect domestic record, with 10 wins and one draw from 11 matches, demonstrates their strength.

Rodgers’ Tactical Acumen

Rodgers’ ability to adapt Trusty into the team has been crucial. His tactical decisions have transformed Celtic into a formidable force.

Conclusion

Celtic’s Champions League upgrade and Rangers’ UEFA warning highlight the contrasting fortunes of Scotland’s top teams. Celtic’s astute transfers and Rodgers’ tactical acumen have positioned them for European success.
