Celtic chief keen on Premiership move

Both Rangers and Celtic have long tried to secure a move to the Premier League.

“Celtic and Rangers are massive clubs. Celtic certainly has a global reach,” he told Radio 5 Live.

“Our frustration is that we play in a very small market and we don’t have a regular platform to tell the Celtic story from.

“We’re looking for an opportunity to participate in an environment that gives us that global exposure. And hopefully, through time, that will come.”

He continued: “We need someone to want us. And, if that benefits Celtic and its supporters, then we’d be delighted to take part.”

“For certain, things won’t stay the same,” he added. “There are so many dynamics in world football at the moment and the world is getting smaller.

“We have very strong fundamentals. In the last Deloitte’s report we were the eighth biggest club in the world for match-day takings.

“If we had the TV rights value that you get in England, then there is no barrier for Celtic.”
