Celtic chairman Ian Bankier is set to step down from his role next year. The Parkhead club have announced that the 70-year-old will leave his position as both chairman and as a company director in January 2023.
Bankier replaced John Reid at the top table in October 2011 and has overseen a period of huge success for the club across the past decade, one that included nine consecutive Premiership titles and a Quadruple Treble. But his time at Celtic Park will come to a conclusion at the end of the year as the club announced his planned retirement in a statement to the London Stock Exchange on Friday afternoon.
The statement said: "The directors of the company wish to announce that Ian Bankier, chairman of the company, will retire from his role as director and chairman of the company with effect from 1 January 2023. The company will make further announcements regarding a successor in due course."
