ian1964 10,761 Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 John Reid could step down as Celtic chairman at the clubââ?¬â?¢s AGM on Thursday. Reports claimed the 63-year-old former Secretary of State for Defence is considering his position and may make an announcement to shareholders at Parkhead later this week. Sources today linked corporate lawyer Ian Bankier with the post, should Reid move on. On the pitch, Gary Hooper was glad his late winner at St Mirren helped his side banish the memories of last weekââ?¬â?¢s defeat to Hearts. The striker pounced with 90 seconds of added time remaining to give Neil Lennonââ?¬â?¢s side a 1-0 win. It looked as though Celtic were set to end a week, during which they lost 2-0 to Hearts, with just a point until Hooperââ?¬â?¢s intervention. ââ?¬Å?We created chances, we kept playing,ââ?¬Â Hooper said after netting his 10th goal of the season. ââ?¬Å?We bounced back, kept at it and scored with a minute to go. ââ?¬Å?Paddy (McCourt) came on, set it up well, there was a deflection and I got a toe poke. ââ?¬Å?We got the points which we needed after Hearts and weââ?¬â?¢re back on the board.ââ?¬Â Team-mate Ki Sung-Yueng hailed Hooper as a ââ?¬Å?goal machineââ?¬Â saying: ââ?¬Å?Gary is brilliant. ââ?¬Å?He is a goal machine and has scored in the 90th minute two or three times. ââ?¬Å?He is a very good striker and is the type you need to win the league. ââ?¬Å?We need goals and the goal difference could be very important at the end of the season.ââ?¬Â http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/sport/editor-s-picks/john-reid-is-poised-to-walk-away-1.1068429 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
