In 1994, the Celtic Board made up of the old "Biscuit Tin" families that had played a dominant role in Celtic's history were ousted, and replaced with one fronted by the Scots-Candian businessman Fergus McCann. This section documents the details of what went on in the periods before, during and after the takeover.

It was a truly emotional and difficult time for all.
