With St Johnstone and Ross County both being confirmed last night to be in the top 6. What are the fixtures going to look like

County - Away

 

Celtic - Away

Motherwell - Home

St Johnstone - Away?

???? - ????

Don't weaken now all ye faithful, ICT have achieved what they set out to do, reached the top six and now the push is really on for Europe. Keep togetherNess going, the push is really on. As tm4tj says ( slightly amended ) all games are winnable, the team is still hungry and the climb to the summit is underway.

If the Highland marchers can achieve their goals then ICT can too. Just hang on tight to that resolve it could be a rocky climb.

Good luck to all!!

 

Finishing second though should be a huge priority as the league is still setup to reward the top two teams with the lions share of the cash !!! not sure if it is exactly the same but it used to break down like this .... 4% went to every club (48% total) the remaining 52% was split based on finishing posittion

 

01 = 4% + 13% = 17%

02 = 4% + 11% = 15%

03 = 4% + 5.5% = 9.5%

04 = 4% + 4.5% = 8.5%

05 = 4% + 4.0% = 8.0%

06 = 4% + 3.5% = 7.5%

07 = 4% + 3.0% = 7.0%

08 = 4% + 2.5% = 6.5%

09 = 4% + 2.0% = 6.0%

10 = 4% + 1.5% = 5.5%

11 = 4% + 1.0% = 5.0%

12 = 4% + 0.5% = 4.5% (+ parachute payments)

Cant find up to date revenue figures for this year, but last year, the income was £21.4 million and after costs, it was estimated payouts to clubs were in the region of about £12m over the course of the year which looks fairly consistent with figures I have from a few years ago. Perhaps CaleyD or someone else has more accurate numbers?

 

Assuming the figures are somewhat accurate, that would mean for 2nd place the payout would be in the £1.8m range, dropping to £1.14m for 3rd and £1.02m for 4th so between £700K and £800K difference for 32nd over 3rd/4th, which for ICT (and many other clubs) is a huge incentive. Last year we were 10th and would have pocketed about 660K so whatever we get this year is a huge bonus .... but 2nd would mean more than a million extra compared to last year ......

Looking at the fixture list all 5 of celtic games are going to be televised. What is the point! Would it not be better to have the games where something is being played for.

 

Does anyone know if they get extra cash for each game shown on TV?

No extra cash but have to agree with Celic comment, #oldfirmbiast
