Celtic chief Peter Lawwell has been accused of trying to “bury Rangers” as the Ibrox outfit lurched towards collapse.


The former Parkhead chief exec – now chairman – has long been accused of holding huge influence in Scottish football’s corridors of power.


Now Sir David Murray has accused him of working to make the Light Blues suffer.



He writes: “Peter Lawwell was someone I knew previously.




One of my companies GM Mining did business with Scottish Coal where Peter worked and I once invited him and his wife to Ibrox for a game.

“He was delighted to accept and back then was good company, but by the time he rose to become chief executive of Celtic he was on a completely different trajectory.

For nearly two decades he tried to build up a seat of power and I honestly believe that by the end of his time at the club he was wielding far too much influence in Scottish football. At one point, after I sold Rangers, it seemed he was positively revelling in the demise of the club.

“He held sway on committees through friends and always used the strength of his power base when he thought it was necessary.


Of course he had a job to do for his club – and no one could argue he did it well for much of his tenure – but with very few influential or credible figures working to Rangers’ benefit, he became a pivotal figure in trying to grind them down and make them suffer.

“To me, it seemed the mantra was always, ‘Let’s bury Rangers’.

 

murray didnt need any help burying rangers

 

theyll lap it up aswel. Let's not blame the guy who got us in 150m debt, it was lawells fault!

Lawells master plan was to bankrupt rangers just so he could keep celtics net spend down

 

Strange article. At first I thought the scum media are targeting Lawwell for some bizarre reason. Then the article attempts to taint Celtics progress as if we have some backend power derailing Rangers but I think there’s a particular line that does the most work here.

“At one point, after I sold Rangers, it seemed he was positively revelling in the demise of the club”

Seems like a positive spin for Pete. Fans will be happy to hear this. It perhaps attempts to correct a couple of things said over the years.

1) Fans hate the guy for a plethora of reason.

2) There was a long running belief Pete was in bed with Rangers to maintain some sort of Old Firm equilibrium. A strong rival equals better revenue etc.

Otherwise, this article is simply in there for click bait, fill space and sell rags.

 

Take some responsibility tooth pick pins

 

I'm sorry - this guy's thread is on Page 6!? We all know this * is HEAVILY involved in the constant transfer debacles. He needs to be perp-walked out the club tonight - along with the rest of the board.

We are doing nothing in the transfer market by the sounds of it. Nothing. It's hard to actually comprehend what is going on.

Gross mismanagement, self-sabotage and as others have said, in other businesses people would likely be charged on some sort of lack of fiduciary duty.

 

Hugh Keevins On SSB saying Peter isn’t responsible for transfers

 

Of course he's not, he's the * chairman.

Let's just ignore that though, we need to rage at him regardless!

 

Rage against the machine

 

Hugh Kevin's is a dithery auld fud. He knows absolutely * all about the workings of our club.

It's like the old David Murray days, journalists too scared to criticise Lawwell out of fear of getting banned. Spinless wanks

 

Self awareness is not your strong point is it?

 

You want me to pull up the posts from May 2023 where you told me i was talking * about Brendan Rodgers becoming our new manager?

Nah, didnt think so.

Now off you * ya immature wee *

 

You keep track of posts from years gone by? To score points on the Internet? * * that is sad.

Carry on telling everyone how you know the inner workings of the club better than a veteran journalist who knows the people personally. Ya perma rage wee fud.
