Rangers and money go together like chalk and cheese, unlike Celtic who seem to have a firm grasp on their finances compared to the Ibrox club.
Celtic are cash-rich as they continue to pull in vast sums of cash which helps them dominate Scottish football and improve on the European scene.
On the other side of the city, Rangers have a huge pile of debt that they need to manage and it could be about to get bigger when they find out how much compensation Aberdeen will accept for new Ibrox boy, Conor Barron.
Celtic fans will love Aberdeen’s seven-figure demand for Conor Barron
Barron moved to Rangers in a free transfer move this season. And instead of paying the money Aberdeen were due, the Ibrox club baulked and now the case will need to be heard by an independent review panel.
Rangers probably think they will get the tired-looking midfielder for a knock-down price but as Phil Mac Giolla Bhain is about to share, they Ibrox club could be onto plumbs on that.
In his latest blog, Phil said, “I’m informed that the new CEO was mindful of the consequences of bigging up young Conor Barron as the new midfield general.
“Any such gushing will merely strengthen Aberdeen’s compensation claim at the upcoming tribunal.
“My information is that the Dons would accept £1.75m for the lad.”
“The new CEO will have a full in tray; there might even be a couple of overdue invoices from the Copland Road debacle.
“At all times it will be necessary to follow follow the money.”
Nearly £2m for a player they thought they were getting for free. Now that’s not to say Aberdeen will get that fee.
The likelihood is that it will probably be close to half that figure. But that would still be £875,000 more than they bargained for and £875,000 they simply do not have.
Let The Banter Years commence.
