Police in Glasgow have charged a 30-year-old man following an investigation into online abuse directed at former Celtic chairman Peter Lawwell. The 66-year-old, who stepped down from his role in December, cited "abuse and threats from some sources" as a reason for his departure.

This case highlights the intense scrutiny faced by high-profile football executives, particularly at a club with Celtic's passionate fanbase. Lawwell's tenure, which included a period of significant success, has always drawn strong reactions online. The charges underscore the legal consequences of digital harassment.

The man is expected to appear in court at a later date. For Celtic, this brings a degree of closure to a difficult chapter that preceded their recent league title win. The focus now shifts back to on-field matters as the club prepares for the new season.
