Peter Lawwell, Celtic's chief executive, yesterday lent his full support to the proposed 12-12-18 restructuring of Scottish football and claimed his own club expected to make a bigger financial sacrifice than any other if it goes through.
Lawwell was the first high-profile figure from any club to come out in favour of the plans. Celtic stand to lose out because the additional money to be redistributed through the 42 clubs would be shaved from those at the top of the "Premier Division". The prize and television income of the team finishing top will be reduced by more than most, around £250,000-per-season.
