The love-in was predictable.

One Celtic shareholder urged the top table to get on the phone to “wee Fergus” in relation to the Resolution 12 issues but in truth the atmosphere of grim rancour and anger that characterised some of those previous stormy Celtic AGMs seem as distant as Fergus McCann himself.

With three shimmering pieces of silverware on display and a manager at the table who has yet to taste defeat in a domestic context, what else could Celtic’s AGM have been other than a long round of applause?

From chief executive Peter Lawwell who insisted that if he had his pick of any manager in the world he’d have Brendan Rodgers in his dug-out to the punter who thanked the Hoops boss for getting him off the drink and “cheering up his weekends” the meeting was an all-round congratulatory fest.

Funny how putting a winning team on the park tends to quell the dissenting voices.

There were grievances; the food on European nights isn’t good, the fans forum hasn’t followed the format its originators expected and the use of Parks buses all came under scrutiny but there was little to upset the sense of equilibrium in the room.

At one point chairman Ian Bankier had to beseech his audience to take to the floor to ask a question – “come on, you cannot be that happy” – but in truth the vast majority remain satisfied with the club both on and off the park.

Joe O’Rourke, former general secretary of the Celtic Supporters’ Association, raised a laugh when he claimed that if Stewart Regan “told me this morning he’d told lies I wouldn’t believe him” but the two hour exchange between shareholders and board members seemed to be little more than a long hurrah.

That was confirmed when Rodgers, thanked for what he has done so far and asked if he’d be in place to oversee ten-in-a-row and fulfil the promise of the song, confirmed that he is in rush to exit Glasgow.

It seems likely that Rodgers will be linked with any vacancy that arises south of the border but the Hoops manager has offered further indications that he regards his long-term future as being at Celtic.

“I love my life here at the moment,” said Rodgers. ““I extended my stay last season so there is no reason why I wouldn’t be [here for 10-in-a-row]. It is a great moment and a great cycle here in the history of the club and my job is to add to the legacy that is already here. For me and my staff to add to that we can only do that by being here for a number of years.

“So hopefully that will be the case and we can continue here with all the success at the moment.”

Certainly, if Rodgers has his sights set on leaving his imprint on Celtic, the club will be only too happy to ensure he is at the helm for as long as he wishes.

“To win the Treble, only the fourth in our history, to go unbeaten and become invincibles was beyond anyone’s thoughts and imaginations,” said Lawwell. “It was extraordinary.

“Brendan was the coach and leader and he is an outstanding Celtic man. At this moment I don’t think there is anyone else I would rather have in world football as the manager of Celtic.”

Of interest was one query about the possibility of developing the current main stand.

The refurbished stadium, the Celtic Way and the colourful presence surrounding the façade of the stadia presents a modern and vibrant front, but there has been a perennial question mark over the dated main stand since 1995 when Celtic Park was refurbished.

Lawwell explained that ploughing money into the infrastructure of that area would mean an outlay of up to £40m, ensuring that for the immediate future there will be little expectations of developing it.

“Not at the moment,” said Lawwell when asked about the possibility of developing it. “It is getting old – I think it is nearly 50 years old – and we are constantly looking at it but it would cost between £30m and £40m to redevelop it. It is getting on and it is more of a priority but not immediately.”

The final question from the floor was a reference to last week’s BBC Panaroma programme in which Dermot Desmond’s name emerged.

The programme allegedly that Desmond owned a private jet company that used an offshore tax haven to avoid taxes.

But Celtic chairman Ian Bankier was scathing of the inferred link towards the Parkhead side.

“As a club we deeply resent association with the scuttlebuck that was Panorama,” he said. “It had nothing to do with Celtic and nothing to do with the UK tax situation.”

It was the only sour note on an agreeable coming together.
