Nancy sacked, O’Neill returns – What’s next for Dermot Desmond and Celtic Board

Brian Wilson – other issues to address after sacking Nancy and Tisdale

Brian Wilson, Celtic’s Interim Chairman, said: “The way things worked out for Wilfried Nancy is an intense disappointment, not least from a purely human perspective. We wish him and his family well.

“By bringing Martin back to the club, we look forward with confidence, giving the team real focus for the challenges ahead. He is a manager the players, staff and supporters know well, with a peerless reputation in football and a deep commitment to Celtic.

“The immediate priority is to get back to winning ways and while today’s events do not address every issue, I would appeal for unity within the stadium to create the best possible environment for the manager and team to launch the fight-back.”

The Celtic Star: Brian Wilson calls for unity while accepting that removing Nancy and Tisdale doesn’t address all the issues and we can agree with him on the latter point.

As for his call for unity, perhaps the Celtic Board should reflect on their actions this season which have been far from ‘world class’ in so many areas including briefing against Brendan Rodgers (winner of 11 trophies from 13 as Celtic manager) in the tabloids, doing the same thing against the Celtic support, banning the Celtic fan media for no reason whatsoever, and manufacturing a dispute with the Green Brigade, while disgracing the club at the AGM.

The first thing that needs to be done Brian, to start addressing the other issues,  is to remove the ban on the Green Brigade starting on Saturday.

Next up – Celtic CEO Michael Nicholson.
