    As i said my opinion lawwell was a danger in our club, * point out “but we had success” his ego also cost us 10 in a row. Countless players over penny pinching and appointed a cheap opition in Lennon!

    Exactly.

    He’s wasn't head of Manchester City’s recruitment either, as people are claiming. That role belongs to Txiki Begiristain.

    I love how for a full year the support kidded on it had always been against Lawwell. Now we’re back to ignoring all that and Lawwell was decent.

    Is anyone willing to go as far as calling him the best CEO in football again?

    He worked for CFG so I’m excited (not even just a little bit) about this. He’s actually good at his job (from what we can tell), and having the experience of multiple leagues at CFG hopefully has a few players he’d bring to the table.

    As long as Ange gets the final decision on all signings in the end, this could be a good signing itself.

    It's not Peter Lawwell, though. It's Mark.

    Aye it looks like the usual Celtic jobs for the boys pish, but he clearly has a good working relationship with Ange. I trust Ange to make the right decisions.

    Scares me that it's Lawwells son but at least Ange seems keen on it and that's all that really matters.

    Hopefully.

    But I just worry it allows Lawwell to snake back in and start calling the shots, or his boy to follow the blueprint his da used to hoodwink the support.

    In all seriousness, Ange spoke highly of their close working relationship for 4 year. That's got to count for something - can't be worse than Congerton anyway.

    I don't know with this one. I suppose if his second name wasn't Lawwell most would say it's a decent appointment but why do we seem to be tied in with the City group so much

    Oh goody we just got rid of lawwell and we get the other one into the club * are we running Celtic like Glasgow city council with the family members joining .
    I'm still expecting Peter to be back as chairman of Celtic soon so we can play happy families and there's me thinking this * went away with the old board of the Kelly's and the whites .

    Sounds promising to me. I don't have an issue with him being a Lawwell. No matter how much we hold against his da it was obviously that family that played the biggest part in bringing Ange here, and appointing a Head of Recruitment with a decade of experience with the City Group and a history of a great working relationship with our manager makes great sense on paper.

    Excited to see how the summer pans out.

    I think this is a class appointment.

    Ready to take some flak but he's been head of recruitment for the city football group since 2012 and he's coming to us. His contacts and database will be huge.

    If his name wasn't lawwell * would be creaming themselves. And he knows ange.

    This is incredible a serious coupe for the club
    I
    Can’t believe some negative comments on here. Give your head a wobble

    we have just recruited a major player in one of the biggest most successful teams in world football. The connections he will have. The young players he will know about
    The possible city link up for a few loans

    he’s worked with Ang and they have a great successful relationship

    this is brilliant progress
