The Celtic Trust have appointed David Low as their new Chairman going forward as they look to push the club on certain issues that have been concerning supporters.
The Glasgow based businessman was a key figure in the 1994 takeover of Celtic which saw Fergus McCann save the club from the abyss.
David was a consultant for the rebel group and helped piece together the foundation which would see the old board removed from Celtic ushering in a new era. Dealing with Fergus McCann in the early days and being a force for good, doing more than his fair share to save the club.
The hope is David will push the current board more than ever on things like Resolution 12 and their inactivity when it comes to certain off the field matters. If you have listened to any podcasts wich David has been a part you will know he is a very intelligent person and a die-hard Celtic fan – it’s a great appointment for The Celtic Trust.
Here was Low’s statement on The Celtic Trust’s website.
Dear fellow Celtic shareholders and supporters,
First of all I’d like to thank the members for electing me chair of The Celtic Trust at their AGM. It’s a huge honour to represent an organisation with such grounded and supporter oriented ambitions for our club.
We all know owners, managers and players come and go but supporters are there from cradle to grave. I’ll be doing all I can to ensure supporters’ interests are not taken for granted and that their best interests are not neglected.
There will be a number of headline initiatives announced over the coming months which your Trustees hope will manifest in increased membership numbers and concomitant cashflow. Funds raised from membership subscriptions and donations will primarily be used to acquire shares in the club.
These initiatives start with the launch of this website which, inter alia, will contain information on The Trust’s constitution and new subscription rates. The website is still under construction and more information and news will be added over the coming weeks.
Serva Fidem et Pax Vobiscum
Yours faithfully
David Low, Chair
