Maguire: Celtic Rival Ajax and Porto in Stats — But Fall Short Where It Matters Most
Kieran Maguire has criticised Celtic’s lack of ambition, arguing that the club’s financial strength should have propelled them further in Europe. The football finance expert noted that while Celtic’s revenues and player sale profits rival those of Ajax and Porto, their performances on the pitch fall far behind. He described the club’s cautious approach as a betrayal of its potential, suggesting that Celtic’s leadership seems more focused on staying just ahead of Rangers than on achieving true European success. With another Champions League campaign slipping away, Maguire’s message is clear — Celtic have the resources to compete with Europe’s elite, but not yet the ambition to match.
