Video- Watch as angry fans call out Lawwell as Sack The Board returns

There was no escape yesterday for Peter Lawwell as Celtic drew 1-1 at home to Kilmarnock.

At the start of December the club Chairman was on holiday in Portugal when the protests started during the closing stages of a 2-0 home defeat from Hearts- the first domestic defeat at home since the dark days of the Lockdown when Lawwell as CEO was standing beside Neil Lennon against reality.

Yesterday he was in the Directors Box as he watched the outcome of his long running feud with Brendan Rodgers coupled with the incompetence of his son impact on the team.

Kilmarnock did what St Johnstone, Motherwell and Hearts achieved earlier in the season. Frustrate Celtic in attack, not too difficult when they insist on two wide players that certainly aren’t wingers, then play on the nerves and panic from the supporters that has spread to players clearly inferior to last season.

It looked like Celtic could repeat last month’s win over Ross County, yesterday luck was out when David Watson headed in a stoppage time equaliser.

During Lockdown Lawwell and his cronies in the boardroom were insulated away from the pesky, entitled customers. Reassured by their yes men and media messengers pumping out stats about how successful he had been as CEO.

Pre 2012 Celtic had a 50% record of winning the SPL title under Lawwell, they hadn’t been near a treble.

Since 2020/21 it looks like the 50% record has been resumed thanks to Ange Postecoglou.

Celtic’s dominance started in 2016 with the arrival of Rodgers, it ended in 2023 with the departure of Postecoglou.

Next month it will be 20 years since Celtic won a knock-out tie in Europe, a record covering three competitions and starting a few months after the appointment of a former Clydeport bean counter on a salary of £166,000.
