Being a Celtic supporter is not always easy, but it is always worthwhile.

Celtic supporters want to be proud of their Club. That's all they want. It is what they deserve.

Over the four years we have made massive progress: winning the League Championship (97/98); building the largest club stadium in the UK (60,000 seats); having the largest support (52,000 season book holders) of any club in Britain. This has been achieved by everyone who cares about Celtic working together towards a shared vision of football success and pride in a club which is part of our culture, open to all and a responsible member of the community working to help others where it can.

You cannot change the minds of the mindless. But that doesn't mean you just admit that's the way we have to live.

Celtic is a community institution the supporters are entitled to be proud of.

I want people to judge me on what we have achieved after five years. I will go back to my home in Bermuda, play some golf and live a healthier life.

You can't live on the hope of a television contract and play in a stadium with nobody there.
