Dom McKay isn’t expected to speak to the Celtic support at any time in the near future.
Last Monday the former SRU number two clocked in at Celtic Park 10 weeks ahead of schedule to shadow Peter Lawwell who is retiring at the end of June.
With his background in communications and marketing many Celtic fans expected some sort of interview from the new man as he found his feet at Celtic Park.
I think he’ll be keen to engage Kieran, his role doesn’t begin officially until July 1 so at the moment I believe it’s mostly just about getting a better understanding of the business structure

Between the lines it seems that McKay will keep a back seat until Celtic appoint a manager, with the main issue resolved he can then discuss his plans without being asked about the elephant in the room- the lack of a manager.
It is more than two months since Neil Lennon resigned, and less than three months to go until Celtic enter the qualifying process for the Champions League.
Eddie Howe remains the favourite to become the next manager but expectations of an announcement seem to have been downplayed over the last few weeks.
