Mike, who previously worked at Stockport County in a similar role during the Hatters' glory years in the Championship, had been Celtic's community development officer since 2014 and leaves a great legacy at Bower Fold, having launched school football sessions at local Primary Schools, Walking Football teams for the over 50’s/over 60’s and Adult-Pan Disability football teams.
Mike also led projects such as the monthly Man v Fat programme which provides men with the opportunity to address their general health.
