Something intriguing has happened in the dynamic between Neil Lennon and Rangers fans. They used to detest him, I think it’s fair to say, but I’m struck by the number of RFC fans commending him here in these quotes/responses. It’s impressive, but what happened?

This is Neil Lennon at his very best. And why he’s been a godsend to the Scottish media - good or ill - for over 25 years now.

@PaulJohnDykes @ACSOMPOD Great finisher. I’d play him off the main striker though. He’s not a midfield player.

@67Kelechi Just keep scoring in every game! Hat trick next game hopefully.

@PaulJohnDykes @ACSOMPOD Great goals today. I just wonder if he can play for 90 minutes?

@jg2394044 @yogijunior3 Haughey’s model uses a centralised trust structure with appointed trustees, not an open, democratic, one-member-one-vote model. You own zero shares all for the annual price of a season ticket. Funny how this was announced just after rumours of a season ticket boycott was mooted.

@ultras_antifaa I don’t like their red white and blue colours. Get them changed to Green and White.

@celticCSL It’s clear Dermot is the problem. He’s been filling the boardroom with puppets since he bought his shares. He quite simply has to go if Celtic are to progress. If he stays it’s a steady decline.

Tom Allison’s departure from the Celtic board is another clear sign of why governance reform is now non-negotiable.
A Non-Executive Director is there to provide independent challenge, oversight and accountability. Not to sit in place for 25 years.
Basic UK corporate governance standards widely point to a maximum 9-year tenure for NED independence. Allison joined in 2001. That is nearly 25 years. Independence is impossible at that point.
The same questions now apply to the rest of the board:
• Dermot Desmond, board influence stretching close to 30 years
• Brian Wilson, over 20 years
• Peter Lawwell, until his recent exit
• other long-standing appointees who have presided over decline, drift and zero accountability
Where is the challenge?
Where is the scrutiny?
Where is the independent thought?
This is how boards become echo chambers. This is how “puppets” are kept in place to rubber-stamp rather than challenge.
Dermot Desmond, as principal shareholder and power broker, should not be occupying the role or function of an effective NED. A true NED must be independent from executive influence and controlling shareholder interests. By definition, he is neither.
This is exactly the governance failure CSL exists to address.
Fresh voices.
Term limits.
True independence.
Real accountability.
Celtic deserves a modern board, not a closed circle.

@yogijunior3 I’d encourage everyone who can afford it to join Celtic Supporters Limited. Membership starts at £10 per month the goal is to reactivate ‘lost’ shares and purchase shares which become available. The more people who join means pressure can be put on the board and Dermot.

@yogijunior3 Just off a member only Celtic Supporters Limited Zoom meeting. They said the shares will be held in trust by the board and effectively give Dermot Desmond increased control of shares. Is it a coincidence this was announced before season tickets went on sale?
