Livingston will become a member of the Company's Audit Committee.

Celtic's Chairman, Brian Quinn, said:

'I have greatly enjoyed the 11 years I have served as a director of Celtic,
seven of those as Chairman. It has been an honour to have lead the Board of this
Company. I am grateful to my fellow directors and colleagues throughout the
Company for their support and their dedication to Celtic, and wish them and
Celtic every success in the future. I will, of course, continue to support
Celtic, one of the great clubs in world football.

My retirement also triggers the need to appoint a successor. I am delighted that
John Reid has agreed to take on this role; I am confident he will lead the
Company and Celtic Football Club to an even brighter and more successful future.
He is also joined on the Board by Ian Livingston, an exceptionally able
individual, who will further strengthen what is an already excellent group of
directors.

I'm sure all our shareholders and supporters will join me in welcoming John and
Ian to the Company in their new roles. '

John Reid commented,

'Brian Quinn has been a superb Chairman of Celtic and is an extremely hard act
to follow. I have been a supporter of Celtic for many years and am delighted to
be invited to join the Board and carry on the great work that has already been
done.'

Mr Livingston said: 'To be asked to join the Board of the club that I have been
a season ticket holder of for many years is a great opportunity and privilege. I
am very much looking forward to becoming involved and contributing to the Club's
continuing success and development.'
