Today, one month after Gordon Strachan resigned from Celtic, an unknown life-long Celtic supporter has been appointed the new manager for the upcoming season. James McMahon is said to be 'over the moon' at his shock appointment. We can now go live to the press conference inside Celtic Park.
Georgie Thompson - The pictures you can see now are Celtic's new manager James McMahon sitting along side chief executive Peter Lawell and current club captain Stephen McManus.
Mr. McMahon, how do you feel being appointed as new Celtic manager?
James McMahon - I am delighted. It has been a life-long ambition of mine to play or manage Celtic.
Georgie Thompson - What are your main goals for this season?
James McMahon - Well, my minimum expectation is to win the Premier League, Scottish Cup and the CIS Insurance Cup. I would also like to reach the last 16 of the Champions League, but that all depends on the luck of the draw.
Georgie Thompson - Will you be making any new signings?
James McMahon - Well, I have just came out of my first training session and I think a few new faces are required.
Georgie Thompson - Can you tell us what positions you are looking to improve or what players you have your eye on?
James McMahon - I'm afraid that I don't want to tell you that information at this moment and time.
Georgie Thompson - Ok, Peter, why did you make such an unexpected appointment of a rookie manager?
Peter Lawell - Well, we thought long and hard about it, and the rest of the board and myself think James has what it take to take Celtic to a new level in football.
Georgie Thompson - Stephen, are you looking forward to working with James?
Stephen McManus - Of course, everyone here at Celtic Football Club is.
Georgie Thompson - Thanks guys, Georgie Thompson, Sky Sports News, live at Celtic Park. Back to the studio.
