Celtic are expected to treat the case as a criminal matter

talkSPORT cannot name anyone named in the document for legal reasons, with the club expected to treat the leak as a criminal matter.

The document came from a meeting between chief executive Peter Lawwell, manager Neil Lennon and other coaching and recruitment staff about two months ago.
