Celtic would be worse off in footballing terms but better off financially if they joined the Premier League according to calculations made by the statisticians at the The Times Fink Tank.
If they joined the Premier League directly, the stattos calculate that they would be in the thick of the relegation battle, but would not necessarily be relegated. However, they would not qualify for the Champions League.
Celtic would be worse off in footballing terms but better off financially if they joined the Premier League according to calculations made by the statisticians at the The Times Fink Tank.

Presumably, however, their performance would improve over time as they would be in a more competitive league playing better teams which would help them to raise their own standards. They would also have more money available to strengthen the squad.
The article suggests that Celtic would be able to make about £17m in Champions League prize money. In the worst case scenario with only two televised games they would make £72m in Premier League prize money and perhaps as much as £82m. They would also be likely to increase their sponsorship income. Hence, they would be vastly richer in the Premier League.
