" Stewards Required for Next Season"

With Celtic's plans for next season already underway, Football Secretary Josh Greaves announced today that for season 2008-2009 the club is looking to use its own in house stewards. "The club has been offered a number of places on a stewarding course which, if completed successfully will mean that those attending will have the qualification to act as match steward," explains Greaves.  "It would be beneficial to the club to be able to have a pool of its own stewards to draw from for future seasons and successful completion of this course will enable us to do this. Anybody who is interested in qualifying is to speak with me personally or leave their name in the matchday office".
