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

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

That charity fund, inside and outside Scotland is a very important identity of Celtic Football Club.

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.

It's not just a football club. Celtic means so much to so many people.

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.

As I have indicated some time ago, I intend to divest my shareholding when I leave the Club. In doing so, my overriding principle is that I shall do what I believe is best for the future of Celtic. I have also indicated my intention that my shareholding will be made available to be held broadly amongst the supporters and existing shareholders of the Club. I believe that this should produce the best structure of ownership for the Club and the Company.
