Ange Postecoglou admits he’s thrilled Peter Lawwell ’s Parkhead comeback has been made official after the former club supremo was confirmed as the incoming chairman.
Lawwell is set for a dramatic return to the boardroom in January just 18 months after ending almost 18 years as chief executive. The 63-year-old had been expected to land the role since Ian Bankier announced his decision to exit in the New Year after 11 years at the helm.
Lawwell has been a huge figure at Celtic and overseen a period of dominance in Scottish football. He also recruited Postecoglou in the summer of 2021 in one of his final acts as chief executive. Postecoglou admitted the former chief has never really been away – but he’s thrilled to have him back on board in an official role. The boss said: “The people who made the decision are best place to answer what Peter brings. But from my perspective, I’m delighted.
