@CelticFC calls this board refreshment.
Here is what the filings show.
Peter Lawwell left the board on 31 December 2025. It took 261 days to fill his seat. Tom Allison left in April. His seat is still empty, because the director announced on Friday cannot start until he leaves his current job, and no date has been given. Brian Wilson has been interim chairman for nine months. Celtic has not appointed a permanent one.
That is not refreshment. That is a board that cannot make a decision.
Look at who made this one. Celtic’s 2025 annual report says the Nomination Committee was Peter Lawwell as chair, Dermot Desmond, and Tom Allison. Two of those three have since left. So either one man selected both new directors, or the committee was rebuilt and Celtic has not told its shareholders how.
No external search has been disclosed. No skills gap analysis. No candidate pool. Nothing about how either name was found.
The interim chairman introduced the two appointees “both as lifelong Celtic supporters and highly successful individuals in their professional careers”. Supporter first. For a plc board, the order tells you what the criterion was.
One of the two holds 6,525,847 ordinary shares, 6.9% of the class. Together with Dermot Desmond, two directors now hold around 41% of the ordinary shares. Desmond has been on this board for 31 years. Brian Wilson for 21. The governance codes treat 9 years as the point at which independence stops being assumed.
The CSL scored Celtic 1.2 out of 5 on governance. The peer group averages 4.1. Friday changed two names. It did not change the process, the committee, or the pool.
Four questions for the board, and they are answerable in a paragraph:
Who chaired the Nomination Committee for these appointments?
Was an external search adviser engaged?
Is Mark Keane classified as an independent non-executive director? and on what basis.
When does the interim chairmanship end?
Shareholders are entitled to an answer before the AGM.

This is the reason Labour are zoning in on the so called "Dodgy" Betting Shops.
Gambling is an easy target and the left look for things they can attack with their suicidal empathetic attitudes.
Fighting the good fight.
The actual fight should be against REAL criminals, REAL issues and trying to rebuild a high trust, high functioning society.
But lets focus on Greggs Pasties, Disposable BBQs and Betting Shops rather than the Illicit Drugs & Illegal Immigrant epidemic and the failing infrastructure of the nation.

Entering games late was too much. Banners with their faces were too much. Throwing bouncy balls on the pitch in a league game was too much. Throwing bouncy balls on the pitch in a European game was too much. Confronting them inside and outside the ground was too much. The AGM..

When Tommy Burns was coming towards the end of his life, Scott Brown’s family were going through their own heartbreak.
Tommy was battling skin cancer.
Brown’s sister Fiona was also dying of cancer.
She was only 23.
At Celtic, everyone knew how ill Tommy was.
Gordon Strachan went to see him at 4pm one day, and by 3am the next morning, Tommy had sadly passed away.
A few hours later, the Celtic players were brought together.
Strachan spoke to them.
Then Scott Brown came over to him.
“Can I speak to you?”
Strachan knew what Brown’s family were going through, so he asked him what was wrong.
Brown asked him when Tommy had died.
“About three in the morning.”
“Why?”
That was when Brown told him what had happened.
“Well, my sister got flowers at 10 this morning.”
They had arrived after Tommy had died.
And the note was from him.
“Good luck, keep your chin up.”
From Tommy Burns.
Tommy was hours from the end of his own life, and he was still thinking about Scott Brown’s sister.
Still sending flowers.
Still trying to lift someone else.
That was why Celtic people loved him the way they did.
Not just because he played for the club.
Not just because he managed it.
Because even at the very end, he was still Tommy Burns.

What a mongo. Amazing how many fans of the rancid Pedo club know literally nothing about football.

"Representatives have wasted hours of precious Parliamentary time introducing a law to ban something that does not even exist in their nation and which will have no impact at all on animal welfare"
Mark Bird makes a statement on the Scottish ban.

Why do people make up stuff like this?
The data’s available should you want to check properly.
Livingston have the longest SPFL games at an average of 98 mins and 7 seconds
Rangers & Hearts close with 97mins & 41 and 97mins and 30.
Celtic - 96mins 35.
