Celtic supporters have submitted resolutions ahead of the club's upcoming Annual General Meeting, demanding a full apology from the board following tensions at the 2025 gathering. The Celtic Trust is requesting an apology for allowing Ross Desmond to address shareholders at the previous meeting, where he criticized supporters' conduct. Additionally, the fan group called for a three-to-five-year strategic business plan and an official review of the club's security department.

The resolutions come amid deteriorating relations between fans and the board, following recent demonstrations targeting major shareholder Dermot Desmond at a golf event in St Andrews.
