Celtic PLC announced a financial loss in their annual report following their failure to qualify for the Champions League group stages in the 2025/26 season. The club's turnover dropped by 22.7% to £111 million, while operating expenses increased by 4.3% to £122.1 million. The gains from player sales fell from £31.5 million to £16 million, resulting in a £4.8 million loss for the year ending 30 June, 2026, compared to a £33.9 million profit in the previous year.
The club's retail operation suffered due to ongoing fan protests, and chairman Brian Wilson attributed the loss to lower revenue, increased costs, reduced gains from player trading, and higher player amortisation charges.
