                                  CELTIC plc
                              MANAGEMENT CHANGES


Celtic plc is pleased to announce today the appointment of Brian Quinn as
Chairman and Martin O'Neill as Football Manager.

Several weeks ago Frank O'Callaghan informed the Board of his intention to
resign as non-executive Chairman of Celtic plc for personal reasons.  At the
time he agreed to remain in office until a new first team coach had been
appointed.  That appointment has now been made and he has written to give
official notification of his resignation from the Board of Celtic plc.

Frank O'Callaghan comments:

'I am delighted that Martin O'Neill has been appointed and I wish him and
Celtic every success in the future.'

Brian Quinn, at present Vice-Chairman, has agreed to become non-executive
Chairman of Celtic plc with effect from today's date.

Brian Quinn stated:

'The Board accepts Frank's resignation with regret.  He has worked extremely
hard during his period as Chairman and has demonstrated his deep commitment
and loyalty to our football club.  In particular Frank assisted greatly with
the widening of the Celtic shareholder base last year at the time of the
Fergus McCann share sale.  It is an honour to be asked to succeed him.  I will
do all that I can to lead the Board in its determination to restore Celtic to
a position of sustained success, both on and off the field.'
