“Celtic is more than just about financial results off the pitch and football results on the pitch,” Dominic McKay

Here’s what the newly appointed Celtic CEO – who takes up his new role after Peter Lawwell retires on 30 June 2021 – has had to say about our club, as reported on the club’s official website. Dominic McKay, who is a season ticket holder at the club, is proud to be appointed to lead the club he has supported all his life.

“It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I look forward to beginning my new role as chief executive officer of Celtic.

“I look forward to working with Peter and the board to ensure a seamless transition. In Peter Lawwell, I can think of no better example to follow. His experience and leadership have been the cornerstones of Celtic’s success, success that I will now look to build on going forward. I thank him and the wider board for their support and encouragement.

“Of course I understand that Celtic is more than just about financial results off the pitch and football results on the pitch. Celtic is built on a charitable ethos that underpins everything that happens at the football club. Developing and nurturing the rich Celtic ethos with all our supporters and stakeholders is a key component of my role going forward. I’m looking forward to supporting and building upon the great work carried out by Celtic FC Foundation to ensure that this remains at the heart of the Celtic way.
