THE past year or so at Celtic is perhaps best defined by change. The conclusion of the 2020/21 campaign already feels like aeons ago in just about very respect. Ange Postecoglou arrived and has recruited a virtually brand new squad of players. New faces, such as former Australia internationalist Harry Kewell, have been added to the coaching staff. Up in the boardroom, too, the merry-go-round has been in full swing.
It all started when Peter Lawwell, the club’s former chief executive, announced his decision to retire in January 2020. Supporters weren’t happy as the club’s bid for ten-in-a-row flew off the rails and much of the ire was directed towards Lawwell. There was criticism from outside the club, too, for the decision to fly out to a warm-weather training camp in Dubai as the pandemic raged.
