Every Mark Lawwell Celtic signing rated as 21 transfers showcase the legacy of outgoing recruitment chief

Mark Lawwell, the head of first-team recruitment, has concluded his tenure at Celtic, prompting reflection on the legacy he has forged. His journey commenced in the summer of 2022 when he transitioned from his role as City Football Group’s head of scouting to Celtic Park. His appointment received commendation from then-manager Ange Postecoglou. Yet, despite the anticipation surrounding his arrival, Lawwell’s tenure has been characterized by the influx of 21 new players into the Scottish Premiership club.

However, Lawwell’s departure comes amidst growing criticism regarding the efficacy of his dealings in recent transfer windows. Many of the acquisitions made under his stewardship have struggled to establish themselves in Brendan Rodgers’ squad. Notably, Joe Dudgeon, Celtic’s lead first-team scout, who also joined from the City Group, will depart alongside Lawwell, signaling the dawn of a new era in Glasgow’s east end.

As the curtains close on Lawwell Jr’s tenure, scrutiny turns to the impact he has made on the Celtic squad. Record Sport delves into the signings made during his tenure, analyzing the contributions and legacies left behind by the 21 players who were brought into the club under his watchful eye.
