IAN BANKIER’S opening salvo at today’s AGM as part of an introduction video to the shareholders was interesting.

The Chairman was keen to stress they do consider themselves accountable for last season’s debacle but also accountable for the four trebles before the capitulation.

On the face of it, I don’t think they understand from how far a height they allowed us to fall in such a short period of time due to their decision making. Bankier was also keen to stress circumstances ‘outwit’ their control i.e the pandemic.

You can find the whole video on the Celtic website but here are some tie bits.

‘The board provides great stability. That stability has given us a track record that’s there to be seen.

‘Yes, we take accountability for what happens and what doesn’t happen, but we’re also willing to absorb change.

‘This board works actively and collaboratively all season and all through the year. It’s not a board that goes away months on end then comes back together. It’s a blend of experience both executive and non-executive.’

“While I’m on the subject of the board, I have to pay tribute to Peter [Lawwell] and his contributions to the club over so many years.

The chairman goes on to claim Peter Lawwell was pivotal in identifying and signing the manager Ange Postecoglou.

There were videos featuring Celtic chairman, Ian Bankier, acting Chief Executive Michael Nicholson, Finance Director, Chris McKay, Celtic FC Foundation Chief Executive, Tony Hamilton, men’s first-team manager, Ange Postecoglou, and women’s first-team manager, Fran Alonso before the AGM did get officially underway.
