I would like to see some of the new development have a money making part called "The Bunnet" as a fitting tribute. He will always be remembered by Celtic fans as the man who saved Celtic.

    When common sense was needed and someone who could withstand the pressure of the situation and deliver on their promise, in stepped Fergus. He dragged Celtic from mediocrity and gave us back pride in our club. He never backed down from the Scottish football hierarchy and fought Celtic's corner till the day he bowed out. The new generation of fans should be grateful to this gentleman and should be schooled in what he has done for our club

    The Man who saved Celtic was John Keane, The Edinburgh based businessman put up 1.2 Million when the banks were going to foreclose his beloved club. The county Mayo man is the man who saved Celtic. A more accurate description for Fergus McCann is the man who transformed Celtic. Both Mr Keane and Mr McCann are Celtic Legends, only one remains unhailed..

    I remember Michael Kelly, going on about how he is perceived aesthetically, would be a major hurdle to him, (maybe not his exact words, but it is what he meant). Kelly might be right in the sense that despite McCann’s achievements, he is not overburdened by cheer leaders. I know that Jock Stein and the Lisbon Lions is probably the biggest source of pride at Celtic. But possible including the afore mentioned, McCann has achieved the most for the club. The Kelly’s were opportunist compared to him.

    First time seeing this interview which was good to listen and recall Fergus McCann at that time coming to Scotland and seeing all what he done for Celtic and himself in the process and he done a really great job and wish him all the very best . For me Celtics no 1 fan he is for doing such for the club with his own millions though being business minded he probs knew he was onto a good thing which later proved true as he done very well for the club and himself and then as he said when he arrived i shall stay for 5 yrs not one day before and not one day after when i shall then leave and he did what he said and then flown back to Canada with millions made for himself and getting Celtic a brand new stadium and people in board he Fergus McCann done got guys in who would look after the club and not have such happen which so near did and going bankrupt ..Fergus McCann all Celtic fans salute you take best of care 👍

    Love him or hate him he will go down in history as THE MAN WHO SAVED GLASGOW CELTIC from bankruptcy in 24 hours! He built a fantastic stadium and the foundations OF WHAT WE HAVE TODAY! And simply the next feasible move for a club of Celtics size is a move to the English leagues! We're too far a big fish in a ever dwindling pond! Wishful thinking I know but if Celtic had to get the revenue of what the English clubs get (And remember Scottish football gets a 10th of what the English leagues get!) we would be a massive,unstoppable force in Europe! We've got a fan base with or larger than your Barcelonas so we've got all of the above but politics stops this from happening,but for how much longer? Scottish football would die on its arse without Celtic or that other mob! But my loyalties lie with Glasgow Celtic and ITS GREATER GOOD!!!🍀
