Celtic in Turmoil: New Interim Chairman Makes Shock Move, Steps Away From All Other Roles After Lawwell Replacement

Life without Peter Lawwell begins for Celtic once again as the Hoops begin their search for a long-term replacement.

Lawwell stepped down from his role towards the end of 2025 after coming under serious pressure from the Celtic support to quit his role due to a series of high-profile errors.

Brian Wilson is the man who has taken on the position of chairman on an interim basis in the meantime.

It’s a job that requires full attention, and it seems that he is making steps to do that.

Brian Wilson stands down from columnist role
As well as his work with Celtic, Wilson had also been a regular columnist in The Herald.

Formerly a politician, he had contributed several articles but has now chosen to put that on the shelf for now and focus on the Hoops, according to We Love Stornoway.

Since taking the reins on 1 January, nobody has heard a peep out of the 78-year-old as he is yet to conduct any form of interview.

He was in attendance for the shocking 2-1 defeat against Dundee United, and is likely to be at Parkhead for the first Glasgow derby in 2026.

Brian Wilson may have a huge decision to make in early tenure
It may only be temporary, but Wilson may have to make a big decision if things continue as they are.

Wilfried Nancy has lost five of his opening seven games in charge, and a loss against Rangers would surely be the final nail in the coffin.

Nancy went on a passionate rant in his pre-match press conference, but fan sentiment is at an all-time low.

Defeat would leave him with no point of return, and the Hoops’ interim may have no other option but to dismiss him if things don’t go to plan.
