It seems that Peter Lawwell’s successor certainly knows the history of the club, a history that is largely shaped by the achievements of Scotland’s greatest ever manager.
From 1965 to 1978 Stein rewrote the history books, leaving a legacy that every Celtic player, manager and even CEO has to aspire to. Born and brought up in Burnbank he never lost touch with his roots and that:
