Celtic Reports £143.6m Revenue and £33.9m Profit as Lawwell Admits Transfer Timing Failures

The board pledged improvements in response to fan anger over late transfer business.

Overview

  • Celtic’s annual accounts to 30 June 2025 show revenue of £143.6m, profit after tax of £33.9m and cash of £77.3m.
  • Player trading generated £31.5m in gains, with £42.6m invested in acquisitions including agent fees as first‑team labour costs hit record levels.
  • Chairman Peter Lawwell and chief executive Michael Nicholson accepted responsibility for missing Champions League and transfer‑window objectives.
  • The club registered 11 first‑team arrivals, including Kieran Tierney and Kelechi Iheanacho, after exits such as Nicolas Kühn and Adam Idah.
  • Fan discontent persisted with protests and calls for board change, even as expanded Champions League income and domestic trophies underpinned the strong results.
