ANGE POSTECOGLOU has welcomed the return of Peter Lawwell to Celtic, saying that the former chief executive was ‘instrumental’ in bringing him to the club, and that his appointment as non-executive chairman will provide stability.
Celtic announced yesterday that Lawwell, who left his previous role as chief executive in the summer of 2021 after 17 years in the position, will officially replace the retiring Ian Bankier on January 1st.
The news was hailed by current chief executive Michael Nicholson, principal shareholder Dermot Desmond and Postecoglou, who explained how pivotal Lawwell’s involvement was in bringing him to Glasgow.
