Peter Lawwell picked up a massive pay packet of £3,549,026 for the year ending 30 June 2019.
Using the most basic of calculations that works out at £70 per season ticket from a season in which Celtic failed to reach the group stage of the Champions League- losing out to AEK Athens in the third qualifying round.
The loss of Champions League money was effectively made up by the sale of Moussa Dembele and the compensation from Leicester for taking Brendan Rodgers and three other coaches.

Since joining Celtic in October 2003 CEO Peter Lawwell has earned £11,320,000 from the club. Pay rose from £166,000 for the period to June 2004 to £1,167,000 last year. #CelticFC pic.twitter.com/oLqyrr3h4W
