As November 22 approaches, Celtic’s board braces for a potentially contentious annual general meeting (AGM), set to be held at Celtic Park at 11:30 am.

This year’s assembly, crucial for stakeholders, is clouded by recent decisions affecting the Green Brigade, a prominent fan group known for their fervent support but also embroiled in controversy.

The club’s recent move to suspend the season tickets of the Green Brigade members has sparked a wave of discontent among the fanbase. This decision, stemming from several incidents labeled as “unacceptable conduct” by the club citing the use of flares at matches and disruptions at Fir Park as contributing factors to this suspension.

The board’s action has been met with criticism from a significant portion of the Celtic supporters, who are dissatisfied with the management’s handling of the situation. Additionally, the club anticipates possible sanctions from UEFA due to these incidents.

The AGM will offer a platform for shareholders to confront the board, including the newly appointed chairman, Peter Lawwell, and Michael Nicholson, over these and other issues.

Apart from addressing the Green Brigade suspension, shareholders are set to vote on 11 resolutions, including the reappointment of board members and corporate governance matters such as the appointment and remuneration of auditors, the authority to allot shares, and the disapplication of pre-emption rights.

This meeting is pivotal as it reflects the ongoing tension between maintaining order and respecting the passionate support that forms the backbone of Celtic’s fanbase. With significant decisions on the horizon, this AGM promises to be eventful.
