    I'm sure we'll get another sponsor offering similar money. Getting into Europe would help our cause right enough.

    So when everything is getting tight for money, you want us to get even less by putting a charity on our top.
    That sounds excellent:rolleyes:

    Bring back CR Smith :rolleyes: Naaah whoever we get I'm not fussed as long as it's not a 'package' deal, utterly fed up with this 'one half' pish.

    Would be nice to have Nike themselves as the sponsor given they renewed their deal with us.

    I'm a teetotaller :icon_mrgreen: (you can believe that if you like)

    It would be a nice idea to get a charity on our shirts but the reality is Celtic need the shirt sponsorship money - Barca don't.

    Still think we can get our own deal without them :50:

    Drinks giant Carling insists that the Scottish Premier League's new television contract has no bearing on their Old Firm shirt sponsorship deals.
    There had been speculation about the future of the sponsorship after the demise of the SPL deal with Setanta.
    But ESPN-Sky this week agreed to take over - but paid half as much.
    And Paul Miller, managing director of Molson Coors in Scotland, said: "We're looking at extending our relationship with the Old Firm into the future."
    <!-- E SF -->There are fears that the standard of the SPL will suffer as a result of the £65m five-year broadcasting deal as many clubs had budgeted for receiving much more.
    And Celtic and Rangers, whose current deals with Carling have entered their final year, have been highly critical of the SPL over its handling of the broadcasting rights.
    However, Miller said that "no decision had been made" about whether or not the deal would be extended and that "discussions are ongoing".
    "The new TV deal has no bearing in our thinking in regard to the Old Firm," he added.
    "The Old Firm brand is very strong and their exposure is very significant to the market we want to be exposed to as well, so there's no issue there at all."

    Really? I thought it was owned by Molson-Coors? At least that was what I was told at the bar.

    Guiness is over rated and tastes like stale coffee bleh =/

    What about Irn Bru? Though it wouldn't really match the green and white.

    Shame cOOrs is Carling coz it lOOked pretty cOOl on the jersey, even if the 'beer' is manky.
