'It's good money' - Celtic's windfall revealed ahead of Oasis concerts
Celtic are in line for a multi-million-pound windfall after tickets were announced to watch Oasis at Parkhead in 2027.
That is according to former Manchester City financial adviser Stefan Borson, who exclusively told Football Insider that the Hoops will be making mostly profit on the concerts.
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has showcased how profitable staging non-football events, which have added to Spurs' revenue over the years.
Celtic, who are currently top of the Scottish Premiership, are ready to take a leaf out of their book, with tickets available to watch Oasis at the stadium.
Parkhead will host the opening five nights of Oasis’ Live ‘27 world tour, kicking off on Friday, May 21, 2027, followed by shows on May 23, 25, 28 and 29.
With a capacity of over 60,000 seats, a sold-out arena could mean quite a generous windfall for the 56-time Scottish first division winners.
Celtic to profit from Oasis' world tour
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, Borson expects the Hoops to earn seven figures, over £1million, for hosting five nights of Oasis.
"Yes, it'll be decent. They'll just have a rental fee. So with the stadium, the organisers of the gig will effectively rent the stadium," he said.
"It'll be seven figures, definitely, so not insignificant money. And there will be pretty limited costs associated with it so it'll go to the bottom line.
"It'll be worth doing for them, I think it's five gigs, so there's good money in it for Celtic."
Keith Wyness told Football Insider that the windfall could reach as much as £10m, but Borson is clearly being more conservative with his estimation.
How much have Celtic missed out on already?
It is safe to say that the 2026-27 campaign has been pretty calamitous so far, despite still sitting top of the Scottish Premiership.
Borson has estimated that the Hoops missed out on £12.3m immediately after missing out on Champions League football to LASK.
While there will be prize money for Europa League success, it will be nowhere near as much as being in the Champions League this season.
All of this has put pressure on Martin O'Neill's future at Parkhead, but even he would require a compensation fee if the Celtic hierarchy wanted to make a change.
