It’s being reported within Celtic fan media that Peter Lawwell has left the building and paved the way for Dominic McKay to take over the running of the club.

Harry Brady has told his podcast listeners he’s been told Peter has quietly stepped down even though he was supposed to stay on until the end of the month.

This would be huge if true.

Celtic are currently trying to secure a nee manager and coaching staff team, they’re working on several high profile exits from the club and are in negotiations with clubs and they have to sort out what’s going to happens with supporters next season if some can get into the ground.

Harry Brady had Peter Lawwell on his podcast a few years back. We believe that’s the only real interaction he’s had with fan media.

Speaking on his podcast, Brady said:

“Peter Lawwell finished at 5pm on Friday. Well, at some point on Friday, apparently. I don’t think that’s been formally announced because technically I’m sure his contracts paid up, but apparently, Friday was actually his last day.

“That’s part of the reason that prompted me to do this podcast because it hopefully clears the way for Dominic McKay to make all these announcements.”

It would surprise us greatly if this was the case. If the CEO has stepped down early it could be because of the harrowing incident at his family home when thugs set fire to his car and home. Peter could be taking a step back early to be with his family and sort out things as a result of the shocking attack.

Officially the club are saying nothing because it’s certainly something that would need to be announced to the London Stock exchange.
