Celtic chief executive joins SFA's professional game board

The Scottish Football Association and Celtic have moved on from the disputes of last season with the appointment of Parkhead chief executive Peter Lawwell to the governing body's new professional game board. Lawwell was named on the 10-man panel which will rule over the professional game in Scotland.

A Celtic statement on Tuesday night read: "It is well known that following events last year, Celtic called for a fundamental review of the processes and procedures within the SFA.

"We fully supported Stewart Regan's plan for reform and we feel that the creation of this new board is a very positive outcome of the SFA's own review.

"Peter Lawwell, on behalf of Celtic Football Club, will be pleased to accept this invitation to join the professional game board.

"He will aim to make an important contribution to the continued change and improvement of the game in Scotland."
