Retired chief executive Peter Lawwell remains a Celtic director, according to a report.
The 62-year-old stepped down from his role at the beginning of July as he handed the Parkhead reins to new man Dominic McKay.
Lawwell spent 18 years in the role, during which time the club won 29 trophies - including 13 league titles and four Trebles.
Former SRU chief operating officer McKay has taken control but it's been known since his official arrival that Lawwell still had a part to play.
He has held a position on the European Club Association board since 2014, representing Celtic and Scottish football's interests on the continent.
And he also sits on UEFA’s Professional Football Strategy Council, a body that discusses key issues such as Champions League reform.
McKay confirmed Lawwell would retain the role for a further two years following his retirement from the Premiership giants.
However, a report in The Times on Wednesday states that in order for Lawwell to do so, he must retain a "formal connection" to Celtic.
It's stated Lawwell remains on a non-PLC board alongside McKay, Eric Riley, Michael Nicholson and Michael McDonald - as shown in documents submitted to Companies House this week.
In June, McKay insisted his predecessor's responsibilities at Celtic had concluded but that it remained "really important" for his ECA representation to continue.
McKay said: "Peter will certainly finish up at the end of this month with his responsibilities at Celtic.
"He'll extend — we've got two years left to go on the ECA, the European Club Association.
"And that's a really important role, for Scotland and for the club, to have a representative there.
"He'll stay engaged with that. And what's been brilliant during the whole transition, Peter has been fantastic for me.
"But he's achieved so much, he's been kind enough to say he's at the end of the phone for me. If there are any interesting questions I want to bounce off him, he's always going to be there for me and the club."
