The Scotsman 10/03/1994
By Hugh KeevinsCELTIC are believed to be about to restore their board of directors to seven by co-opting lawyer Len Murray, QC, who was a forceful figure behind the move made by Fergus McCann and Brian Dempsey in November to force a rights issue and wrest control of the club at an Extraordinary Meeting. The retired lawyer sat beside McCann and Dempsey at McDiarmid Park on Saturday, when the two men attended their first match after the removal of Michael Kelly, Christopher White and David Smith from the board. A legal mind would bring another dimension to the team being assembled by McCann at Celtic Park, which now includes a banker, Dominic Keane, as well as the entrepreneurial Canadian. Murray's appointment is expected to be formalised later this week.
Yesterday, McCann and Dempsey were pre-occupied with meeting Gerald Weisfeld, the multi-millionaire businessman who has expressed an interest in being part of the transformation at Celtic Park if his terms and conditions are met. The discussions took place away from Celtic Park and no statement was made afterwards.
