Dominic McKay's Celtic exit may have been down to the scrutiny of working in the Old Firm goldfish bowl.
That's according to former Rangers midfielder Barry Ferguson.
McKay left his position as chief executive of the Parkhead club this afternoon, citing personal reasons for his decision to depart after a short stint in the job.
The former head of Scottish Rugby replaced Peter Lawwell who retired earlier this year but after bringing in new manager Ange Postecoglou and helping with the recruitment of 12 new players during a turnover, McKay surprisingly called time on the Celtic chapter of his career.
And Ferguson reckons that could be down to the constant criticism, good or bad, that comes with working in the 'bubble' of the Old Firm.
Speaking on Go Radio the Ibrox hero said: "It's 24/7.
"It's constant. You are in a bubble, and you've not got the luxuries some people have got.
"That's what it's like in the west of Scotland. I was lucky enough to grow up with it.
"I saw what happened with my brother, I grew up in the west of Scotland. So maybe it's a shock to Dom's system.
"He has been in on a full-time basis now for 10 weeks, and maybe he's thought to himself it's not what I want.
"The limelight is on you. It's constant, you are in the media constantly, you are spoken about constantly.
"I would like to think that over the next week we will get the reasons that he has left."
