Peter Lawwell's Celtic departure has officially been confirmed with the London Stock Exchange.
The now former chief executive leaves after 17 years at the club.
Fans had been furious last season with their side's performances and spending decisions including splashing £5million a piece on flops Vasilis Barkas and Albian Ajeti.
We compiled a list of reasons why the retiring CEO can be considered a hero or a villain depending on how fans have viewed his tenure.
And as Dominic McKay officially takes over from today - despite having been in the job for a number of weeks now - the club lodged documentation with the Stock Exchange confirming Lawwell's exit.
McKay, formerly of Scottish Rugby, recently revealed Lawwell had made himself available at all times via a phone call should he need any advice or help during his own time at Celtic.
He said: "He's been kind enough to say he is on the end of the phone if there are any interesting questions I want to bounce off him. He's achieved so much and, during the whole transition, Peter's been fantastic to me.
"We've got two more years on the European Club Association and that's a really important role for Scotland and for the club, so he will stay engaged with that."
