Dominic McKay has left Celtic but he’s also taken himself off social media after today’s revelation he would NOT be continuing as the Celtic Chief Executive.
Celtic custodian of eight years and lawyer Michael Nicholson has now been put in charge on an interim basis.
Today’s news is a proper shock to the system after the supporters were buying into McKay’s idea of modernisation to help the club reach its potential.
The former SRU boss came in during the summer to shadow Peter Lawwell before taking over in July. After seeing out the transfer window, many expected McKay to focus on the restructuring of the club – this is now in tatters.
‘Personal reasons’ have been cited for his departure but you have to read between the lines.
Was there a difference of opinion in the direction of Celtic so early on? Celtic as a board are not progressive and have run the club the way Peter Lawwell set things up for so long.
Any new person coming in from the outside would have been a shock to the system for the board and Dom would have also felt that same shock.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Dom pitch up somewhere else in the near future.
