The Battle To Save Celtic: Part 9 - Jock Brown, General Manager (June '97 - Nov '98)

The Celtic Exchange: Celtic Football Club in Focus

🟢 30 years ago this very month Scots-Canadian businessman Fergus McCann swept into Celtic Park and secured the clubs very existence with an eleventh hour investment that would alter the course of Celtic’s history for ever.

A move such as that however can’t be engineered by just one man and many figures played a key role in what eventually took place on that day back on the 4th of March 1994.

🍀 In this special new series by The Celtic Exchange we speak to some of those individuals as we bring you the inside stories of what unfolded during that incredible time in Celtic history.

In the series we’ve spoken extensively with supporters groups, financial analysts, former board members, Celtic fanzines and journalists, as we continue to cover the story from all angles.

But what we’ve yet to cover in any great detail up until now is how the new Celtic was shaping up AFTER Fergus McCann came into power in March 1994

Ahead of the 1997/98 season it became clear that McCann wanted to introduce a new European style structure to the Football Department, and with that came the newly created role of General Manager

We were therefore delighted to be joined by that very man as Jock Brown told us of 510 fascinating days in Paradise as part of the Fergus McCann regime.

It's a story than includes McCann, Jansen, Di Canio, Larsson, Moravcik and an Italian superstar who got away!

💪 The Battle To Save Celtic is a new mini-series by The Celtic Exchange marking 30 years since Fergus McCann's takeover of Celtic in March 1994.
