Michael Nicholson has stepped down from the SPFL board, and in his place, James Bisgrove, the chief of Ibrox, has taken over. While the media is attempting to generate excitement around this headline and story, the reality is far less alarming than they’d have you believe.
The rotation of SPFL board members is a customary occurrence each year, with an agreement between the two Glasgow clubs to alternate positions annually. Last year, Celtic’s chief Michael Nicholson assumed the role from Stewart Robertson, just as Stewart had previously switched with Peter Lawwell.
In truth, it’s a rather uneventful development and not particularly worrisome. However, certain headlines and articles we’ve come across fail to acknowledge the existing agreement. If Michael Nicholson remains Celtic’s chief executive, he will be reappointed next season.
Currently, Celtic is in Japan, intensifying their pre-season preparations before their return to the SPFL in early August. Following another triumphant season with a treble victory, the Hoops are aiming for a remarkable three consecutive championships.
James Bisgrove, the chief executive of Ibrox, along with his associates, face a daunting task and immense pressure to halt the unstoppable Celtic juggernaut.
