Fergus McCann is a Canadian business tycoon, who made his money in real estate, famous for his involvement in Celtic FC. He took over the running of the club in 1994, after it became clear that the club was facing bankruptcy. He refinanced the club and was responsible for the building of a modern, but basic, stadium at Celtic Park with a capacity of over 60,000. He did not endear himself to the club's supporters because of his abrasive manner and the fact that, on the field, Celtic never matched the success of city rivals Rangers FC during his tenure.
Although credited with saving the club financially, it was only when he departed that trophies were won again on a regular basis.
