Scottish Premiership
Tisdale’s step up
Paul Tisdale, 51, was named as Head of Football Operations yesterday after serving the club on an as-needed basis during the summer. The coach, who was born in Malta, has a wealth of management experience in both the lower and non-league divisions of England. He has never before worked for a team that plays European or Premier League football.
Tisdale led Exeter City into the Football League and spent two seasons in League One during his most remarkable 12-year stay there. He has had less successful stints as manager at MK Dons, Bristol Rovers, and Stevenage since leaving Exeter six years ago. In any case, this is a significant improvement over the player he is accustomed to.
His job at Celtic is “to develop Champions League players through our Academy and recruitment processes”. Despite extensive bed wetting across Central Scotland, the summer recruitment, which Paul participated in, is on target to meet those objectives. Hopefully we can expect more of the same in the coming windows, doubtlessly with the same laundry consequences.
