Celtic board labelled ‘out of date’ amid poor recruitment and financial losses

Journalist Hugh Keevins has described the Celtic board as out of date following a challenging period for the club. Celtic entered the international break having lost three consecutive matches, including back-to-back Old Firm defeats against Rangers and a Europa League loss to Ferencvaros. The poor sequence of results has drawn significant criticism towards the board's decision-making.

The scrutiny centers heavily on recruitment, specifically the lack of a midfield replacement following Arne Engels' £22 million summer sale. Celtic subsequently opted against meeting the asking price for Gvidas Gineitis after their Champions League qualifying exit. Alongside recruitment issues, the club's recent accounts have posted financial losses.
