"Police confirmed on Sunday that a man had now been charged in connection with an online communication offence between 14 and 17 December. A Police Scotland spokesperson added: "He was issued a recorded police warning." Lawwell, who became Celtic chief executive in 2003 and presided over the club for 18 years, was the victim of a fire attack on his South Lanarkshire home in May 2021, when three cars were set alight."
"I believe I have shown my ability to meet and overcome challenges on many fronts, but abuse and threats from some sources have increased and are now intolerable. They have dismayed and alarmed my family. At this stage in my life, I don't need this. I cannot accept this and so I leave the club I have loved all my life. The motivations and aims of these detractors can be investigated by others. I prefer to look back on my career at Celtic with deep gratitude and satisfaction."
A man has been charged in connection with an online communication offence targeting former Celtic chairman Peter Lawwell, with the alleged offences dated between 14 and 17 December. Police Scotland confirmed the charge and said the man was issued a recorded police warning. Lawwell, 66, stepped down at the end of December, citing escalating abuse and threats that had dismayed and alarmed his family. The club had faced fan protests after a poor transfer window, a Champions League exit and trailing league leaders. Lawwell previously served as chief executive from 2003, endured a 2021 fire attack on his home, and left with expressed sadness.
