Neil Lennon has praised the former Celtic CEO Peter Lawwell who officially left the role he has held for the previous 17 years, yesterday. The former Celtic manager, appointed twice to that role by Lawwell was full of praise in his comments as the new month begins with Dom McKay now officially the man in charge.
“Peter’s legacy is a period of incredible success for Celtic. The club was also very strong financially.
Dominic McKay has a very hard act to follow and I wish him well,” was the former manager’s assessment of the official changing of the guard at Celtic today.
“Peter’s time as chief executive should never be forgotten. I believe history will judge him well,” Lennon told Scottish Sun. “The job he has done for Celtic is phenomenal.
“It deeply saddened me the level of criticism Peter suffered last season. He didn’t deserve that. All he’s ever wanted is the best for Celtic.
“Peter felt the same sense of acute disappointment as any other supporter over how the season unfolded. It hurt him, believe me. But he should be regarded as a massively influential figure for Celtic in the modern era.”
Peter Lawwell’s official resignation as a Director of Celtic Plc was officially registered at Companies House ahead of a notification to the London Stock Exchange this morning. We wish him well in his retirement.
