RANGERS have the highest percentage of match-day income going towards their wages in the UK. According to Kieran Maguire – a football finance lecturer at Liverpool University – 95 per cent of Gers‘ money that comes through the turnstiles contributes to their wages. In other words, £95 of money brought in from matches goes towards every £100 of wages. Celtic come in at number six with 74 per cent with Hibs ranked third with 81 per cent. Dundee United are narrowly behind the Light Blues in second with 90 per cent, while Hearts and Aberdeen are both in the top ten. The Hoops, however, earn far more than their Old Firm rivals on match-days. Celtic take in an average of £43.6million every home game compared to Rangers’ total of £23m. Manchester United take in an astounding £109.8m with Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City and Spurs making up the top five. Meanwhile, Rangers are set to upgrade Ibrox as the club’s director of football Mark Allen has revealed radical changes for the stadium. Allen is hoping that refurb proposals will help Steven Gerrard’s side gear up for future home games. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/3446710/rangers-income-wages-celtic/ Rangers take in 23 million per home game? Whit? And what are the radical changes to the stadium? Just sounds like sensible reshuffling Edited November 5, 2018 by BlackSocksRedTops 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be per season, not per game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Is the radical changes not about being able to have players at Ibrox from early so they can eat meals etc on game days at the stadium ? Sure I read that somewhere. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,294 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Mark Allen's interview suggests there are further plans for the stadium. Only the surrounding area is mentioned specifically though. How on Earth do the scum take in around twice as much as us over the course of the season (serious question)? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it based on league games only? Are they factoring in Europe? If it's just league games that's baffling tbh as they very rarely get beyond 52/53,000 (unless it's a Rangers game) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are better at marketing their club than us we have to do better we need someone to sell our brand . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,294 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I'm assuming the figures are primarily linked to ticket prices and attendances. Our attendances and ticket prices are similar to theirs, as far as I'm aware. As for referring to Rangers Football Club as a brand. Leave that to marketing gurus (or gimps, as I prefer to call them). McDonald's is a brand. Nike is a brand. We are a football club, a community and an institution (apologies for the rant). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double match-day revenue sounds inaccurate but the number to ponder on from the accounts is that they pay nearly double the wages we do and that makes it very difficult for us to win over a 38 game campaign. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure it's only double the wages ? I could have sworn I read somewhere their wages were over 50 million whilst ours were 21 million in the latest accounts. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
