It’s the type of thing Dom McKay was wanting to do. He was wanting a sporting director. Fergal Harkin was one of the guys they were looking at quite strongly.
Words like lazy, incompetent, and unsuitable were all used to describe them to their face.
A Sporting Director with a strategy would have signed Kasper Hogh or Camilo Duran. Not both. By signing both players Celtic are getting the best out of neither.
In the spirit of Prince Andrew and Pizza Express, Nicholson and Chris McKay probably left Monday’s meeting thinking that it had went well. That they had successfully got their points across.
One year after returning to Celtic as manager O’Neill is now part of the problem. He isn’t the solution, his status as a barrier to the Celtic board has almost ran out.

That statement has revived the Celtic support. Given the Collective fresh fuel. The Collective is a rallying point for supporter anger.
