OPINION
Are these Rangers fans jealous? Or do they genuinely think that Celtic could one day be in financial trouble, even though they are react to an announcement by the club’s official website that the Bhoys have made a £15.2million post-tax profit in the second-half of 2018. It’s a very weird outlook by some of the Gers supporters, who just seem to be trying to troll their Old Firm rivals. Celtic are playing regularly in European football, they are winning titles, they are selling players for major profits and their progression to the Europa League group stages should continue to help their finances into 2019. Dropping out of the Champions League definitely hurt the Hoops, but this update shows that it is not catastrophic for the club’s bank balance if they do have to settle for Europa League football. What it does mean is that Celtic will have to continue selling their players if they do want their finances to look healthy, but that is not a bad thing. Celtic have made a great success out of signing players on the cheap and then moving them on for much higher prices. Rangers don’t have many players that will turn into a major financial investment with only Alfredo Morelos standing out.

The only reason its still "in profit" is coz you sold players, your revenue last year was £71m, its 50m this year, that's 21m less, made a profit of 18m, had you not sold Dembele you'd not have made any profit, think about it ?
