PETER LAWWELL has tried to dispell the myth or notion that the Celtic board are resting on their laurels in the wake of unprecedented success.

Fielding questions at Wednesday’s AGM the Chief Executive went into detail when several shareholders brought up the summer transfer window where Celtic looked like amateurs, missed out on key targets and were left in a position where they had to sell their top striker with no back up coming in.

Celtic fans want to see the team progress on the field and the previous transfer window can only be described as a disaster.

This led many people to point the finger at the board, especially when Brendan Rodgers himself came out in his press conferences and told the fans how frustrated he was with what was going on behind the scenes.

Trying to put it into perspective, the Chief executive was quick to shoot down the idea the board are patting themselves on the back.

“We don’t sit every month when the bank statement comes in and say ‘how good are we, we’ve got X in the bank?” Lawwel hit back.

“We’re a football club. The purpose of having the money in the bank is to reinvest it back into the club and we’ll do that for the right players.”

“We did bring in players. Every time we go into the window we want to try and strengthen.

“In the summer it was frustrating. We wanted to do more and make the squad stronger.

“The point I’m trying to make is that it’s not a lack of a will to invest in the squad.”  he told the Evening Times.
