Using the data provided from each club’s annual financial figures, Game State UK has generated a bar graph that compares profit and loss before taxation dating back to 2014.

The net pre-tax financial performance over the last ten years show a nearly £200 million swing, with Rangers suffering a £110 million loss and Celtic making an £85 million profit.

In a footnote to the graph below, Game State UK stated, “The Bhoys are one of the few well-known football teams that can be said to be profitable, making a surplus in 14 of the last 18 seasons”:

Earlier this year, Celtic’s figure of £17.8m pre-tax profit was disclosed with the club’s latest annual financial figures, with chairman Peter Lawwell stating the club has £77.2m in the bank.

Rangers, on the other hand, posted their latest set of financial results at the end of October this year, reporting record revenues but a significant year-on-year loss.

The accounts released, as detailed in the above chart, show the club made a £17.3m loss.
