Ex-Celt in cash warning to board

Celtic chief Peter Lawwell and the club’s board will “never be forgiven” if they don’t splash the cash this summer to ensure nine titles in a row, says former Parkhead full-back Mark Wilson.

Wilson is in no doubt Lawwell will move to centre stage if, as he expects, Celtic complete a third treble in the next two months before being faced with reconstructing the squad left behind by Rodgers.

He said: “If Celtic go on to win this eighth title – which is looking likely – then you are talking about nine-in-a-row year. Peter and the club will need to throw a good bit of money at this because Celtic can’t afford to fail.” (The Scotsman)
